Fact: R&B star Faith Evans will celebrate the legacy of her late husband Notorious B.I.G. by releasing her new duets album two days before what would have been his 45th birthday. The King & I, which will hit retailers on 19 May (17), includes previously-unreleased vocals from the tragic rapper and also features an appearance from his mother, Voletta Wallace, as well as collaborations with Snoop Dogg, her former love rival Lil' Kim, and Busta Rhymes. Biggie was killed in a drive-by shooting in Los Angeles in 1997.
Quote: "My mum always says that I breathe like him and I scratch my nose and I bite my nails (like him). I have little habits that he would always do. She'll slip up and call me Big sometimes.

Wallace shares more than just looks with his late father, slain rap icon Notorious B.I.G., and the striking similarities often confuse his own mum, R&B singer Faith Evans.
Fact: Faith Evans once penned a track for hip-hop star-turned-actress ANTONIQUE SMITH, who portrays the hip-hop and R+B queen in the upcoming NOTORIOUS B.I.G. biopic NOTORIOUS.
