The reported $100 million deal was put in place by Biggie&#8217;s mother before <a href=\"https:\/\/www.xxlmag.com\/voletta-wallace-notorious-bigs-mom-dead\/\" target=\"_blank\">she passed away in February of 2025<\/a> at the age of 78.<\/p>\n<p>In July of 2025, <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bloomberglaw.com\/esg\/notorious-b-i-g-widow-faith-evans-sued-for-catalog-takeover\" target=\"_blank\">Wayne Barrow filed a lawsuit against Faith Evans,<\/a> alleging that she was ignoring their split ownership and obstructing funds for the estate and redirecting the payments toward herself and the children of the late rapper.<\/p>\n<p>In Chancellor Kathaleen St. J. McCormick&#8217;s 16-page ruling, she began by quoting a lyric from B.I.G.&#8217;s classic song, &#8220;Ten Crack Commandments,&#8221; in which he warned to &#8220;keep your family and business completely separated.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;After [Biggie&#8217;s] tragic death, however, his mother and widow did exactly the opposite\u2014forming Notorious B.I.G., LLC (the &#8220;Company&#8221;) under Delaware law to manage the late rapper&#8217;s intellectual property. This litigation was perhaps the inevitable result,&#8221; she wrote.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;[Biggie&#8217;s] mother passed away in 2025. In her will, she left her interest in the Company to a trust, which the Company&#8217;s LLC Agreement identified as a transferee &#8216;permitted&#8217; to receive membership units. Originally, Wallace&#8217;s mother had named her grandson as a successor trustee. Just weeks before she died, however, she amended the trust agreement to remove her grandson and name the Plaintiff [Barrow] as the sole trustee,&#8221; she continued. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The plaintiff then attempted to effectuate the trust agreement by asserting the trust&#8217;s rights to membership units in the Company. Presumably angered by the affront to her son, the defendant-widow took the position that the LLC Agreement prohibited the transfer of membership units to the trust and refused to make distributions to the trust,&#8221; she added.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The plaintiff [Barrow] filed this action, seeking in part a declaration that the trust is a member of the Company. The plaintiff has moved for partial summary judgment on that claim. This decision grants the plaintiff\u2019s motion for summary judgment and dismisses the defendant&#8217;s mirror-image counterclaim,&#8221; Chancellor McCormick concluded.<\/p>\n<p>To sum it up, Wayne Barrow is now in control of how The Notorious B.I.G.&#8217;s music catalog and intellectual property will be disseminated for public consumption.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Wayne is feeling vindicated. We obtained a total victory in a dispute that never should have happened,&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/music\/music-news\/biggie-manager-voletta-wallace-faith-evans-catalog-1235606554\/\" target=\"_blank\">Barrow&#8217;s lawyer Jay W. Freiberg told <i>Rolling Stone<\/i> in their report.<\/a> &#8220;Wayne goes back with the family for decades, and Mama Wallace wanted Wayne to steward the legacy of the Notorious B.I.G. after she was gone, and he now will be able to do that. He knows it\u2019s a very important task, and he\u2019s looking forward to fulfilling Mama Wallace\u2019s wishes in that regard.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><i>XXL<\/i> has reached out to attorneys for both Wayne Barrow and Faith Evans for comment.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align:center\">Listen to The Notorious B.I.G.&#8217;s &#8220;Ten Crack Commandments&#8221; Song<\/h3>\n<div
