Dozens of mourners flocked into the Frank Campbell Funeral Chapel in Manhattan … Biggie’s widow, Faith Evans, was there, and Lil Kim, Mase, Diddy‘s son Christian Combs, and Ms. Wallace’s grandchildren T’yanna and CJ were among the famous faces in attendance.
Jay-Z‘s mother, Gloria Carter, was also spotted paying her respects to Ms. Wallace, as was Voletta’s great-granddaughter.
Biggie’s mother died on February 21 in Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania, leaving behind her son’s multimillion-dollar estate to manage.
After the legendary MC was shot and killed in March 1997, his mother transitioned into a public-speaking figure and hip hop matriarch icon.
Voletta Wallace was 78.
