In an interview with Rolling Stone, Voletta Wallace expressed her disgust over the allegations, recordings, and evidence that had surfaced against Sean “Diddy” Combs. She admitted, “I was sick to my stomach” after learning about the charges. Wallace also voiced her support for Cassie, saying, “I’m praying for Cassie. On behalf of his mother, I pray. I’ve seen the hotel video, even though I don’t want to accept what I’ve been told. I just hope he apologizes to her.”

Wallace went on to say, “When I see Sean, all I want to do is slap the living daylights out of him.”

She added, “Feel free to quote me on that. I used to think he was cute. Now, I’m embarrassed and ashamed, even though I didn’t want to believe all the awful things.”

There have long been reports that The Notorious B.I.G.’s relationship with Diddy wasn’t as perfect as it seemed. A Rolling Stone article revealed that Biggie and Diddy were involved in a legal dispute before Biggie’s tragic passing.

The article explained that Biggie was looking to take control of his career. Photographer Monique Bunn confirmed this, stating, “Biggie was definitely about to leave Puff. He told me himself, and I know it for a fact.”

Following Biggie’s passing, Kirk Burrowes, former Bad Boy president and co-founder, suggested that Biggie be featured on the cover of Rolling Stone, which was being considered at the time. However, Diddy rejected the idea, as he wanted the spotlight for himself.

Burrowes recalled, “I told Sean, ‘Let’s make it Biggie. You’ll still get your chance for a cover down the line.’ But he responded, ‘Oh no, he’s gone. I’m releasing No Way Out in July. I should be the one on the cover of Rolling Stone.'”
