FAITH EVANS CLAIMS BIGGIE GAVE HER HIS BLESSING OVER 2PAC COLLABORATION
Written by quietmoneyradio_admin on September 13, 2023
Faith Evans has shared an alternate angle to the East Coast–West Coast Hip Hop rivalry of the mid-90s, revealing that The Notorious B.I.G wasn’t on the offense as much as people think.
Evans was married to Biggie, but their relationship was beginning to fizzle out during the peak of the rapper’s beef with 2Pac. The feud further escalated when she collaborated with ‘Pac on a song and was even photographed next to him, which led to rumors of them having an affair.
The California All-Star subsequently doubled down on this when he dropped the knockout diss track, “Hit ’Em Up,” on which took aim at Big with he scathing opening line: “I fucked your bitch, you fat muthafucka.”
During a Marriage or Mirage appearance on Monday (September 11), Faith Evans set the record straight on her involvement in the ordeal and some of the details surrounding it.
“I didn’t know ‘Pac was signed to Death Row, y’know what I’m sayin? Or I never would’ve agreed to do a song with him,” she began. “When I went to the studio with ‘Pac, when I met him, he said: ‘I wanna do a song with you.’ I told Big, he said: ‘D’you wanna do it?’ I said: ‘Yeah, if he got the money.’”
Upon noticing that her recording session was full of people on the Death Row team, Evans explained that she immediately noticed something was off even though she wasn’t fully tuned into the conflict.
“I didn’t hide anything,” she clarified. “I told my husband.”
