The Notorious B.I.G.’s mom Voletta Wallace dead at 78
She’s reunited with her son again.
The Notorious B.I.G.’s mom, Voletta Wallace, has died.
Wallace passed away at 78 on Friday morning at home in Stroudsburg, Penn., the Monroe County Coroner, Thomas Yanac, confirmed to The Post.
B.I.G.’s mom spent her final days in hospice care, with the coroner revealing she died of natural causes.
Wallace was a legend in her own right in the hip-hop community, raising B.I.G. (real name Christopher Wallace) as a single mother in Brooklyn after his father walked out on the family in 1974.
She was a Jamaican immigrant and worked as a schoolteacher.
B.I.G. was murdered on March 9, 1997, after leaving a Soul Train Awards after-party. He was shot dead in a drive-by while sitting in a green Chevy Suburban, which was parked on Wilshire Boulevard in Los Angeles.
