No more drama.
Faith Evans and Lil’ Kim, along with Biggie Smalls’ children and Sean “Diddy” Combs’ son Christian, came together on Wednesday for the funeral of the late rapper’s mother, Voletta Wallace, who passed away last month at the age of 78.
Jay-Z’s mother, Gloria Carter, Bad Boy Records artist Mase and RCA Records president Mark Pitts, who co-managed Biggie — aka the Notorious B.I.G. — along with Evans as they came up in the music industry, were also in attendance.
Evans, 51, was married to Biggie when he was slain in a drive-by shooting on March 9, 1997, at the age of 24. To date, no arrests have been made in the murder, which was widely speculated as a retaliation for the killing of fellow rapper Tupac Shakur, as the pair were embroiled in an infamous East Coast-West Coast rap rivalry.
The R&B singer was rumored to have a beef with Lil’ Kim, B.I.G.’s mentee, who Evans said had an affair with her husband.
In recent years, both Evans and Kim, 50, have said no animosity remains between them. “My issues with Kim really went out the window when B.I.G. passed, to be quite honest,” Evans remarked in 2017. She and Kim even collaborated together on Evans’ 2017 song, “Lovin’ You for Life.”
