With everything going on with Sean “Diddy” Combs these days, people have been looking back at the past crimes he’s been connected to.
Diddy has always claimed that he and Biggie Smalls were extremely close, but there are rumors that he might’ve had something to do with his untimely passing.
Biggie was allegedly given more than one reason not to trust Diddy.
And the shocking truth he supposedly found out about him just before he passed away will seriously blow your mind.
We all know that Diddy helped Biggie get his big break when he signed him to his label Bad Boy Records back in 1993.
So he probably felt indebted to Diddy for that.
He was only a teenager when they first met.
Why Biggie Smalls’ Mom, Voletta Wallace, Warned Her Son Not to Trust Diddy
But there was someone in his life that was warning him about Diddy right from the beginning.
Biggie’s mom, Voletta Wallace, said that she advised her son to be careful of the record label owner who’d just signed him.
In her 2005 book, Biggie: Voletta Wallace Remembers Her Son, Christopher Wallace, aka Notorious B.I.G, she revealed that she used to tell Biggie all the time not to trust Diddy.
So, right from the beginning of his career, he had someone in his life who was getting him to think about Diddy’s intentions and if he had any ulterior motives.
Then there was something else that could’ve made Biggie question if his friend really had his best interests at heart.
And it’s related to how he and Diddy first began working together.
According to Capital Extra, the pair’s origin story goes back to 1992, when Diddy arranged to have a meeting with Biggie after seeing him in a magazine.
Diddy supposedly offered him $25,000 for the record deal.
In her book, Voletta said: “That’s the amount Puffy lured my son with. That was a lot of money for [Biggie] back then as a nineteen year-old.”
Biggie would later come to find out that he was worth a whole lot more than that.
I mean, he reportedly ended up making MILLIONS for Bad Boy Records.
Voletta also wrote that Biggie thought he was getting both a friend and a mentor in Diddy when they first met.
She claimed that the alleged $25k Diddy offered him was enough money to make her son believe that he was ready to do anything for him.
It was enough to buy blind love and loyalty.
So maybe Biggie didn’t think that he was being taken advantage of at first, even though he allegedly wasn’t getting paid anywhere near as much as what he was worth.
But I think that he might’ve realized his value later on. And there’s a chance his loyalty towards Diddy weakened over time.
Was Diddy Upset That Biggie Was Leaving Bad Boy Records?
Cheat Sheet reported that according to Diddy’s old bodyguard, Gene Deal, Biggie was planning to make a big change in his life just before he passed away.
One that would’ve shown how he REALLY felt about Diddy.
And you’re never going to believe what the former bodyguard revealed when he went on Vlad TV.
He claimed that Biggie had talked to him about leaving Bad Boy Records and getting a multi-million dollar contract with another record label.
He said that he came across Biggie’s contract in Diddy’s briefcase when they were on a flight together.
And he noticed that it was Diddy who was getting the better end of the deal.
When he allegedly brought it up with Biggie, the rapper supposedly confessed that he had a new offer with a contract that would make him $62 million.
He supposedly wanted to take Lil’ Kim with him to the next label, too.
So, if that’s true, then he must’ve eventually understood that Diddy wasn’t 100% on his side, and that he was kind of being used by him.
A lot of news outlets like Capital Xtra have reported that Biggie’s life was taken from him during a drive-by incident that happened in 1997.
Diddy’s Former Bodyguard’s Shocking Confessions
But Gene Deal had some shocking things to say about that too.
According to HipHopDX, he opened up about what actually went down that fateful night in L.A. when he was interviewed on The Art of Dialogue show.
He explained that the popular belief that it was a drive-by that ended Biggie’s life wasn’t true.
Apparently, the car with the culprits inside was already waiting for his car to pull up.
He blamed this supposed false information on the police and the media for spreading that version of events, but he said that he was actually there, so he knew the truth.
He claimed that in every Biggie movie, they said it was a drive-by.
But as a witness, he said that the car was waiting there at the corner, and it was probably there all night.
Later on in his interview, he revealed that he’d been in another car with Diddy following behind Biggie’s car when they saw what happened, and that he ran to help him afterward.
He said that he saw Biggie lose his life while he was pulling him out of the car.
He added that he wouldn’t put anyone in his shoes, because he didn’t feel like they could’ve handled it.
He also claimed that Diddy told him that he didn’t need to go out with him that night, but he went because he just KNEW that somebody was going to meet their end.
He did everything in his power to stop it from being Diddy.
Then he added that the people that were guarding Biggie didn’t do everything in their power to stop it from being him— and that hurt him, even though it wasn’t his principle.
Biggie Smalls’ Mother’s Shocking Confessions
On the 20th anniversary of Biggie’s passing, Voletta spoke to the Daily Mail about how much she missed her son, and about something pretty sinister, too.
In a shocking confession, she shared that she believed the LAPD detectives knew who was responsible for taking Biggie’s life, but there was a cover-up to prevent it from getting out.
She said that they’d done their investigation, but they just refused to move forward.
She didn’t know why they hadn’t arrested who was involved, but she figured that it was one giant conspiracy, and someone was definitely being protected somewhere down the line.
Obviously, Biggie’s case has never been solved, but there are all kinds of theories about who was behind the crime that ended his life.
HipHopLately reported that some people have speculated it was Diddy’s fault, because he allegedly put a hit on Tupac, and Biggie’s life was taken in revenge by his rivals.
Others have suggested that it was Diddy himself who wanted Biggie out of the picture.
Which was apparently why he wasn’t in the car with him that night, even though they would often travel together if they were going to the same place.
One theory going around on sites like Reddit is that Diddy knew that Biggie was in talks with another label, and he didn’t want him to leave Bad Boy Records.
Biggie was reportedly supposed to perform in London around that time but had stayed to do an extra gig in California that Diddy had booked for him.
Something that’s hard to deny is how much money Diddy and his record label have made from Biggie after he passed away.
50 Cent Calls Out Diddy
It’s something that people have called him out on in the past.
A report by The Guardian revealed that 50 Cent had claimed that Diddy was continuing to profit from the memory of his late friend.
In 2010, he created a Twitter petition where he said that Biggie’s name should never have become Diddy’s Black Card.
And he also asked: “When was the last time Diddy really was biggin up his brother, not biggin up his bank?”
Since Biggie’s passing, Bad Boy Records has released two posthumous albums by him, and both of them featured Diddy rapping on them.
There was also a Biggie biopic that came out which was produced by Diddy.
Biggie’s Mom Believed Diddy Loved Her Son After He Was Gone
In her book, Voletta wrote that she was glad her son did not have to witness that the very people that he thought he could trust wouldn’t think twice about using his mother.
She also said that she was glad that he was not around to see how they had used his image and his name.
She added that she believed Diddy loved her son – AFTER he was gone.
Diddy’s last tribute to Biggie was in 2023 when he posted on Instagram: “There will NEVER be another. The GREATEST RAPPER OF ALL TIME. Today we celebrate and honor you king. Love and miss you!!”
With all his recent legal trouble, Diddy probably has other things on his mind right now.
Stories that paint him in a bad light have been surfacing ever since Cassie’s lawsuit against him came out in November 2023.
But anyway, what do you guys think about all this?
Do you think that Biggie realized that Diddy wasn’t looking out for him the way he first thought that he was?
And after hearing about all of Diddy’s recent allegations, do you think there’s a chance he was in some way responsible for Biggie’s passing?
