Faith Evans is accused of enriching herself from a fat $100 million deal involving The Notorious B.I.G. and now Biggie’s fam is dragging her to court, claiming she’s been hoarding the bag.
According to documents filed in Delaware and unsealed July 8, Faith Evans is being sued by the estate of Biggie’s late mom, Voletta Wallace, for allegedly keeping the trust’s cut of the massive catalog sale to Primary Wave.
The suit says she cut out the trust from both the money and the business side of things after Voletta passed in February.
Wayne Barrow, who manages the trust, is calling foul. He says Evans became the sole manager of Biggie’s estate after Voletta died and has been moving shady ever since.
The lawsuit claims she’s been handing out checks to Biggie’s kids, Ty’anna and CJ, and probably herself, but skipped the trust.
“Ms. Evans has distributed sale proceeds to Ty’anna, CJ, and presumably to herself,” Barrow wrote. “She, however, has wrongfully withheld the Trust’s share of the proceeds, in the amount of [redacted],” Billboard reported.
Barrow also says she’s been ghosting him on all business matters and acting like the trust doesn’t even exist.
“Ms. Evans’s actions are particularly troubling given that, unlike Mr. Barrow, she has never previously been involved in the LLC’s management,” the petition reads.
He’s now asking the court to force Faith Evans to cough up the trust’s share of the sale. Barrow says the money is supposed to go to the Christopher Wallace Memorial Foundation.
He also wants her booted as manager of the LLC and wants the court to let him take over.
