Notorious B.I.G. Estate Battle: Faith Evans Sued Over His Late Mother’s Share of Catalog Sale Proceeds

The Notorious B.I.G.'s widow, Faith Evans, has been sued by his late mother's estate over profits from the sale of his music catalog to Primary Wave.

Faith Evans, the R&B singer and widow of The Notorious B.I.G., has been sued for allegedly refusing to share profits from a landmark Primary Wave catalog deal with the estate of the rap icon’s late mother. The petition says Voletta managed an LLC holding Biggie’s assets after the rapper (born Christopher Wallace) was killed in 1997, up until she negotiated the “transformative” sale of half the portfolio to Primary Wave before her death. Barrow is seeking a court order forcing Evans to provide the trust with its share of the Primary Wave sale proceeds, which he says will be ultimately donated to the Christopher Wallace Memorial Foundation.
