On Friday an official statement was released by Faith Evans, Christopher Wallace (also known as the Notorious B.I.G) widow, to the media in response to the article the LA Times published in their paper. “There is no truth to anything said in this article about myself and my late, beloved husband. Our family continues to grieve over these and other lies perpetrated by irresponsible parties.” Voletta Wallace, Biggie’s mother adds, “Christopher’s character was both sensitive and loving. Not only could my son not have participated in such a crime, but he also wept openly and was desperately saddened at the news of Tupac’s death.”
Other excerpts from the statement are as follows:
“Christopher had nothing to do with the death of Tupac. He wasn’t in Las Vegas at the time of the crime, he did not arrange the murder, he didn’t pay 50 thousand dollars of bounty money to anyone, and he did not hand a gun to Orlando Anderson to be used in the hit on Tupac. The estate is considering a lawsuit against the L.A. Times for untruthful statements and accusations which amount to character assassinations of someone who is himself the victim of an unsolved murder. For the record, Christopher (the Notorious B.I.G.) Wallace was at his home in New Jersey on the night of Tupac Shakur’s murder, with friends who will continue to testify for his whereabouts since he is unable to defend himself. We believe that the LAPD has been neglectful in its investigation of Christopher’s murder. As a result, we have filed a lawsuit against the LAPD for its failure to investigate this murder. Christopher (the Notorious B.I.G.) Wallace’s friends and family will continue to stand by him and support his memory in the face of this latest accusation against his character and his life.”
