Notorious B.I.G., who also went by the stage name Biggie Smalls, was a Brooklyn, New York native who was killed in March 1997 at the age of 24. He was shot at a stoplight in Los Angeles while he was inside his car.

Notorious B.I.G. and Jackson went to high school together, and their relationship was full of drama. At the time, the aspiring rapper wanted to focus on his music, which led to constant arguments between them.

FINDING OUT ABOUT HIS CHILD

While trying to work towards his dreams, Biggie and Jackson found out that she was pregnant, which made things even more complicated for the both of them. In August 1993, they welcomed T'yanna into the world.

Unfortunately, even the birth of their child couldn't save their relationship, and they separated just a couple of months after their daughter was born. Although she wanted to give their relationship a second chance, he left Jackson for another woman.

REMEMBERING HIM THROUGH STORIES

Since Biggie died when T'yanna was a toddler, she admittedly does not remember him. However, thanks to his music and his influence on the industry, she feels as if she knows him pretty well.

The expecting mom once let people know that she is in contact with her mom, her stepmom Faith Evans, and all of her father's friends. This means that growing up, she heard many stories about him.

T'YANNA'S YOUNGER BROTHER

Aside from T'yanna, Biggie also has a son named Christopher Wallace Jr., named after him. The siblings remain close, despite Christopher leading a more private life than his older sister.

Christopher, or known by many as C.J., is the rapper's child with R&B star Faith Evans, whom he married in 1994 just after eight days of knowing one another. At the time, Evans claimed she fell in love with his confidence before anything else.

HIS TURBULENT RELATIONSHIP WITH EVANS

Their relationship was also full of challenges, as Biggie would end up having more relationships with other women during their marriage. However, they reconciled shortly after the birth of their son CJ in October 1996.

Despite their turbulent relationship, they did not file for divorce, and they remained married even until after his death. That is why up until today, T'yanna still refers to Evans as her stepmother.

HIS LAST RELATIONSHIP

Before his death, Notorious B.I.G.'s last known relationship was with Charli Baltimore. They were said to have started dating sometime in 1996, but the actual date they started dating remains unknown.

The pair met when he performed at a concert in Philadelphia, her hometown. The performer requested a photo with the rapper after the show, and since then, they started talking to one another.
