Adorable Faith Evans paid homage to The Notorious B.I.G. as being โhonest.โ Evans was quizzed about her deceased honey bug during a recent chat with the Marriage or Mirage podcast. The hosts questioned her what she adored about the Brooklyn rapper the most, to which Faith talked of his sincerity.
โEverything. I loved everything about him. He was honest. You understand? One thing about him, even at that young age โ honest,โ she said, glowing with joy. โYo, I respect it. I canโt take anything else. B.I.G. is the ni**a like, I [asked him], โDid you f**k her?โ Heโd be like, โYeah.โ And Iโll be like (visibly taken aback).โ
She counted, โHonest as f**k. Most of the time, I didnโt know what was going on, but when I did, I asked him, and he told [me] the truth. And then Iโd be like, โYou know Iโm a f**k her up, right?’โ
Affectionately called Frank White and Faith came across each other at a Bad Boy Records photoshoot in 1994. The pair quickly hit it off and tied the knot after figuring out each other for a week. Faith Evans and The Notorious B.I.G. had one child, Christopher Jordan Wallace Jr. โ who was born in 1996. However, their relationship wasnโt always the most pure. B.I.G.โs adultery afflicted the coupleโs marriage, as he often was adulterous with Lilโ Kim and Charli Baltimore.
Biggie met Charli, a Philadelphia model/aspiring rapper, at a party in 1995. B.I.G purportedly fell in love with Baltimore, and Faith soon discovered it. During a radio interview at the time, Evans infamously described Baltimore as the โIlly from Philly.โ
We recall in a 1997 VIBE interview that the then Bad Boy Entertainment signee delivered perspicuity into the love triangle. He urged that he would always be pals with her and could presumably โget back togetherโ in a decade.
โPeople was like, โWhen she stopped f**kinโ with B.I.G., she started f**kinโ with Tupac, and B.I.G. started f**kinโ with Lilโ Kim.โ Thatโs the summary of the Biggie Smalls/Faith sh*t right there. But we werenโt f**kinโ with each other way before the rumours popped off.โ

โI married her after knowing her eight days, and I was happy,โ he recalled. โThat was my baby. At the same time, with us being so spontaneous, we did it backwards. Maybe she wonโt admit it, but I will. We should have got to know each other and then got married. The relationship kind of dissolved, but weโre still going to be friends. I love her. We have a baby together, and weโre always gonna love our kids. Who knows? Ten years from now we might even get back together.โ
Yet, Biggie Smalls was shot in Los Angeles on March 9, 1997, at the age of 24.
