T’yanna Wallace, the daughter of late rapper Notorious B.I.G., expressed her weariness of being solely acknowledged as the daughter of the famous rapper. She emphasized her desire to carve out her own identity.
During the launch of her clothing line, Notoriouss, the aspiring designer candidly shared her sentiments with Page Six.
She stated: “I don’t like when people say, ‘Oh, that’s Biggie’s daughter,’ because that’s not my name. Now everybody knows Notoriouss clothing by T’yanna Wallace. I barely hear ‘Biggie’s daughter.’ I hear T’yanna first, and I like that.”
T’yanna affirmed her commitment to “making a name for myself.”
She further added: “I don’t want to live off of my dad’s money. I want to make my own money. I worked in the cafeteria for a year while I attended Penn State.”
March 9 marked the anniversary of her father’s death. Biggie was in California at the time when his SUV stopped at a red light. A vehicle then pulled up alongside it, and a gunman opened fire. Biggie was rushed to the hospital where he was pronounced dead.
