Sale Follows Death of Voletta Wallace

The pending sale comes just a week after Biggie’s mother, Voletta Wallace, died at the age of 78. Biggie’s mom passed away on Feb. 21 in Stroudsburg, Pa. Monroe County Coroner, Thomas Yanac, confirmed to XXL that Wallace had been in hospice care leading up to her death. She died of natural causes.

Previous to her death, Ms. Wallace ran the Brooklyn, N.Y. rapper’s estate following his murder in 1997. In 2011, she signed a licensing deal with Brand Sense Partners to manage licensing and merchandising for the Brooklyn native’s name and likeness. Through her business moves, she helped raise Biggie’s estate’s estimated worth from $10 million to $160 million, according to TMZ.

Biggie’s estate is currently being represented by Mark Pitts and Wayne Barrow of ByStorm Entertainment.
