T'yanna Wallace, the daughter of the famous rapper Notorious B.I.G., shared a picture of her and her brother, Christopher "C.J." Wallace, responding to a question about what makes her happy.

The siblings posed in front of a mural painting of their late father and looked so happy being in each other's arms. The picture is sure to have brought smiles to the faces of T'yanna's fans.

The 26-year-old has been working overtime to preserve her father's legacy and create a brand for herself. In 2017, she launched a clothing store, Notoriouss, a brand she has been working on since 2013.

However, in previous interviews, T'yanna had said that she wants to be known for more than her father's name and fortune, adding that her store was only named after him as a gesture of respect.
