The Truth About Faith Evans & The Notorious B.I.G.'s Rocky Marriage

Rapper Notorious B.I.G., born Christopher Wallace, was one of the pioneers of modern rap and hip-hop. According to NPR, he remains one of the "most revered, emulated, and biggest-selling rappers in the game." But prior to making it big, Wallace was just another young kid in his Brooklyn, New York neighborhood. One person who probably did not see him as some big-time star was his high school sweetheart Jan Jackson, who Wallace shared a child with at the time of his death. Jackson gave birth to Wallace's first child, T'yanna Wallace, on August 3, 1993, per Heavy. The following year, Wallace met his wife, Faith Evans, a former Baptist church gospel singer.

Faith Evans and Jackson weren't known to have any major disputes at the time. These days, the women are close, with Jackson even calling Evans her "wife-in-law," per a 2012 Hot97 interview. But that wouldn't be the first or only time that Evans had to contend with Wallace's relationships with other women.
