In a shocking revelation, Voletta Wallace, the mother of the late Notorious B.I.G., has expressed her desire to confront Sean Combs, also known as Diddy, over allegations of abuse and misconduct. In an interview with Rolling Stone, Wallace stated that she hopes to one day ‘slap the daylights out of him’ due to her disappointment and embarrassment over the accusations.
The allegations against Combs include a 2016 hotel incident where he was seen assaulting his ex-girlfriend, Cassandra Ventura, on surveillance footage. Additionally, several women have accused Combs of rape, sex trafficking, physical assault, and related charges. Combs has generally denied these claims.
Wallace is not alone in her sentiments. Kirk Burrowes, Bad Boy Records’ co-founding partner and president, has also spoken out about Combs’ behavior. Burrowes claimed that Combs felt jealous when The Notorious B.I.G. and Tupac Shakur grew close, as they were signed to rival record labels.
Despite these allegations, Combs has not been charged with any crimes related to the accusations of abuse or misconduct.
The relationship between Wallace and Combs has been strained in recent years due to disagreements over the handling of The Notorious B.I.G.’s legacy. Wallace has expressed her disapproval of Combs’ decision to dismiss discussions about putting her son on the cover of Rolling Stone after his death, as she believes it would have been a fitting tribute to his memory.
The Notorious B.I.G., whose real name is Christopher Wallace, was signed to Bad Boy Records in 1993 and experienced meteoric success with Combs as his mentor. However, their relationship was not without its challenges, as early Bad Boy staffers and associates recalled how Biggie viewed Combs as a ‘corny executive’.
Despite these tensions, Wallace remains committed to preserving her son’s legacy and has dedicated her life to ensuring that his memory is honored appropriately. She has appeared jointly with Combs on multiple occasions, including a “Biggie Night” at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York, in 2017.
The allegations against Combs have cast a shadow over his career and legacy. While he has not been charged with any crimes related to the accusations of abuse or misconduct, the controversy surrounding his behavior has left many questioning his character and integrity.
As for Wallace, she continues to be heavily involved in the legacy of her son and hopes that Combs will one day apologize for his actions. In an interview with Rolling Stone, she stated that she hopes “to God he sits [his mother] down and spills his guts and apologizes to her.”
