Voletta Wallace, the dedicated mother of legendary rapper The Notorious B.I.G., dies at 78
Briefly

Voletta Wallace, the mother of legendary rapper The Notorious B.I.G., died at 78 due to natural causes after being in hospice care. She was a steadfast keeper of her son's legacy, initially dismissive of his music but later found comfort and therapy in it after his passing. In recent years, she played a role as an executive producer for a documentary about her son, reflecting on her private life in the public eye and her deep feelings about his artistry and impact.
I remembered my son said, 'Don't listen to my music.' And I never listened to his music. I heard it on the radio and it sounded good, because it was clean.
I cried so much that day just listening to the music. I rest my head on the stereo and I just cried like a baby.
