Biggie has been hailed as one of the GOATs of Hip Hop — and Styles P is now further adding to that legacy by claiming that the late Brooklyn legend would have squashed the beef between The LOX and Diddy had he lived long enough to do so.
In an interview posted on Friday (May 5), the “Good Times” MC noted that on the night he was killed, The Notorious B.I.G. wanted nothing more than to put peace between the two parties.

“We literally had just left — we was going somewhere else, and then, just heard it was shots,” he told The Art of Dialogue. “That was just really fuckin’ crazy, like, you know what I’m sayin’? And we were just finished talkin’ to him about — we was having some kind of rift with Puff, and he was basically kind of just, like, trying to guide us through it … telling us, chill out, you know? He’s gonna hold it down when he get back.”
He continued: “That shit was devastating. That was our big bro. He was really cool. That’s why we made “We’ll Always Love Big Poppa.” We held him in a very high regard.”
These days, Styles P is known as much for his healthy way of living as his music, and that’s a good thing.
Back in February, he took another step in the health food market with the announcement of a new line of peanut butter and jelly spread.
The LOX rapper introduced his latest product on February 2, sharing an Instagram video of himself and his wife, Adjua Styles, at Eleven Madison Park restaurant in New York City promoting their upcoming (and aptly-titled) “Styles PB&J” spread.
The plant-based, gluten-free product is a blend of maca protein, Irish Sea moss, and grape jelly, and is a collaboration between Styles P, his wife, and Eleven Madison Park.

“@elevenmadisonpark and @adjuastyles and myself collaborate for STYLES PB&J for @elevenmadisonhome,” he captioned his post. “High-end & hip hop go together like PB&J .. so we figured we bring something that your household can enjoy!!”
The mix of plant-based ingredients falls right in line with Styles P’s ethos. The 48-year-old committed himself to lead a healthier lifestyle in the 2010s when he opened his first juice shop in New York City with Jadakiss called Juices for Life.

He also has his own health food store with his wife called Farmacy for Life, which offers several herbal supplements to improve physical well-being.
