Mase, Lil Kim, Faith Evans, and Jay-Z‘s mother Gloria Carter were among those in attendance for the funeral of Voletta Wallace, mother of The Notorious B.I.G., in New York City on Wednesday.
According to TMZ Hip Hop, the funeral was held in Frank Campbell Funeral Chapel, the same funeral home where the service for the late Brooklyn rapper took place in 1997.
Diddy’s son Christian “King” Combs, as well as Christopher Jordan “C.J.” Wallace, Biggie’s son with Evans, and T’yanna Wallace, his daughter with high school sweetheart Jan Jackson, were also seen arriving for the service.
All attendees were required to check in with security guards to ensure they were on the approved guest list, as reported by Rolling Stone.
Wallace passed away last month in Pennsylvania where she was under hospice care. She was 72.
Following Biggie’s death, Voletta kept the memory of the rapper’s legacy alive with the 2009 biopic Notorious, which she served as a producer. She appeared on the 1999 posthumous album Born Again. Wallace oversaw the hip-hop legend’s soaring estate, which is estimated at $160 million.
