#BBB NEWS| WATCH: Biggie’s Son Christopher Wallace Jr Reflects On Bad Boy’s Legacy [PHOTO/VIDEO]

The Bad Boy family just wrapped up round two of epic performances and guest appearances at the Barclay Center. Yet in addition to celebrating 20 years of hits, the reunion was dedicated to celebrating the life and legacy of the Notorious B.I.G., on what would have been his 44th birthday.

Christopher Wallace Jr., Biggie’s son, also took the time to reflect on the memorable night.

“It’s crazy seeing the crowd’s reaction for me,” he said standing behind the Bad Boy stage. “It’s crazy seeing the effect that the music’s had on people for over 20 years and still being able to bring that vibe and spirit and all that energy into the arena.”

You may remember a younger Christopher when he played his father as a child in the 2009 Notorious biopic. The  reunion concert, which sold out in 20 minutes, brought out thousands of fans who enjoyed the hits of some of the most influential artists dating back from the 90s until now.

#BBB NEWS| Faith Evans Speaks About Biggie Smalls’ Death With ‘Los Angeles Times’ [PHOTO]

“It was a whole lot of fun, I’m not going to lie. Everyday was something different,” said R&B singer Faith Evans of the label Bad Boy Records in a piece for the Los Angeles Times entitled “Bad Boy For Life.” 

The article aimed to be retrospective, looking back on the music and controversies surrounding Sean “Diddy” Combs’ empire.

Evans, who was married to Combs’ best friend and legendary Bad Boy MC the Notorious B.I.G. until his death in March of 1997, noted she does not blame the label for the “senseless” murder of the “One More Chance” lyricist.

“The only way you can look at it is tragic. Tragic and senseless,” she told the publication. “But I don’t think that situation was the result of being in the music business. It’s a little deeper than that. I think all the things that came with it definitely added to the hype of things. The whole media element, and people being able to say what they think and not be accurate.”
