Who is the OTHER Biggie Smalls?

I see from the article that B.I.G. quit using biggie smalls, when he found someone else using that name. I'd like to know who this other person is, and what they've produced?

Jojo

I have a feeling this page was protected because of all the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure fans. But just a word to the approved editors. On January 15th 1998 a creature (Supernatural “Stand” ability according to the franchise) was introduced in the manga JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Vento Aureo that was named after him. This was after his death. Do whatever you will with this information.

Uhh....who is this about?

So this is an article about Biggie Smalls right? Who the eff is this Wallace character?

Remove or edit the paragraph about The Notorized B.I.G.'s performance in Sacramento that lead to a confrontation with E-40. Since the the current paragraph does not mention the chronology of the event it amounts to little more than poorly written anecdote. 134.215.217.169 (talk) 01:32, 19 August 2022 (UTC)

Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. Madeline (part of me) 20:34, 28 August 2022 (UTC)

In the 1997 Life After Death section, this part: "That month Wallace was involved in a domestic dispute with girlfriend Charli Baltimore at the Four Seasons hotel, over pictures of Wallace and other girls. Wallace had told Lil' Cease the night prior to take the bag with the photos out of the room, but she had not." I believe it should be "he had not," as it's referring to Lil' Cease, unless I'm misunderstanding something. 24.191.71.133 (talk) 16:51, 15 April 2023 (UTC)

Good looking out

Image on Infobox

I changed the infobox image to the famous "King of New York" photo. However, that was reverted and the user who did it suggested this be on a talkpage, further adding that the infobox has been unchanged for years. What should we do? Wcamp9 (talk) 20:29, 9 July 2024 (UTC)

I don't like how the image you used has biggie with a crown, Tupac is king not biggie. And wasn't the image you added copyright or something? HumansRightsIsCool (talk) 23:59, 9 July 2024 (UTC)

2Pac is like a poet, but in skill, Biggie is easily better. Anyways, the photo not only says that it is from a photoshoot or will be added. Yes, it is copyrighted. However, the other Biggie photo is copyrighted, and both follow the Misplaced Pages:Non-free content criteria Wcamp9 (talk) 02:57, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
