Faith Evans’ admiration for one of the greatest rappers Biggie Smalls goes beyond the typical spousal love as she speaks candidly about her late husband’s character. During the Marriage or Mirage podcast, she shared that his brutal honesty was what drew her to him the most.
She recounted a personal experience where he had confessed to cheating on her instead of lying about it, which demonstrates his integrity even when faced with tough situations. “I loved everything about him! One thing about him, even at that young age he was honest. Like yo, I can’t take nothing from him, I respect it.” She said when she would ask him if he cheated “he’d be like ‘yeah’, and I’d be taken aback you’d expect him to lie.” While adding “It’s what I love, miss, and respect.”
Evans also disclosed the challenges she faced in her marriage to Biggie, acknowledging that they were too young when they tied the knot. Additionally, she mentioned his infidelity, which proved to be a recurring problem in their relationship.
His affairs with other women, including rapper Lil’ Kim, ultimately led to the breakdown of their marriage. The circumstances of their relationship not only shed light on the struggles faced by couples in the music industry but also the importance of finding the right partner to build a lifelong commitment.
The tragic end to Biggie’s life has left a significant impact on the music industry, and his legacy continues to influence hip-hop culture today. His untimely death at the age of 24 due to gun violence was a devastating event that left a profound impact on his fans and the music community. Biggie Smalls’ legacy lives on through his music and the love and admiration that still exists for him today.
