Amid her father's tragic death, T'yanna is making a name for herself. She recently expressed that she wanted to step out of her late father's shadow. She said:

While she understands that blood is thicker than water, T'yanna admitted that she feels disappointed and "tired" whenever someone would associate her success with her father's name.

In March 2019, T'yanna opened her clothing line, "Notoriouss" in Brooklyn. Her store offers streetwear fashion that is heavily inspired by New York and Brooklyn hip hop culture.

Police believed their deaths were linked to the reported rap war between East Coast and West Coast hip-hop artists.

T'yanna's store is also her way of keeping her father's memory alive. The reason she chose Brooklyn she said was that she and her father came from that borough.

In 2012, the Los Angeles County Coroner's Office released an autopsy report of the rapper's death. The rapper was shot four times in the body which hit his internal organs.

Before The Notorious BIG's death, Tupac Shakur, his friend-turned-rap rival, was shot in Las Vegas. Police believed their deaths were linked to the reported rap war between East Coast and West Coast hip-hop artists.

In May, T'yanna and brother C. Jordan Wallace took to Instagram to pay tribute to their father and wished him a happy posthumous birthday. The iconic rapper would have turned 48 this year.

The Notorious BIG's ex-wife, Faith Evans, also paid a birthday tribute to the late rapper on her Instagram. Many fans who felt nostalgic over Evans' post wrote birthday greetings to the legendary rap icon.
