The fight over what's left of Christopher "The Notorious B.I.G." Wallace's legacy has a new flashpoint, and this time it's inside his own family. Christopher Wallace Jr. — known as C.J., the son the late rapper never got to raise — has gone to court claiming his grandmother Voletta Wallace's will was quietly rewritten just two weeks before she died, cutting him and his sister out and handing control of her estate to her former business manager.

According to court documents obtained by TMZ, Voletta signed a will in 2020 that divided her estate — including Biggie's music awards, a fur collection, jewelry, a Mercedes-Benz SUV and a property in Jamaica — mostly between C.J. and his sister T'yanna, with her stake in the family's estate company earmarked for a charitable foundation. Voletta died in February 2025 at age 78.

A Signature Under Scrutiny

C.J. alleges that just 15 days before Voletta's death, while she was "frequently confined to bed" and on numerous medications, an amendment was executed that erased the grandchildren's inheritance entirely and installed Wayne Barrow — Biggie's former manager — as sole executor and trustee.

The signature on the amendment, C.J. says in his filing, appears "facially inconsistent" with Voletta's known handwriting and "warrants further scrutiny" from a forensic document expert.

He's now asking a judge to throw out the amendment and remove Barrow from control of the estate immediately — a request that, if granted, would unwind one of the more consequential shifts in who profits from Biggie's catalog since his 1997 murder.

The new filing lands on top of an already bitter fight. C.J. has a separate suit pending in Pennsylvania accusing Barrow of exerting undue influence over Voletta in her final months, and just days ago Barrow notched a win of his own: a Delaware Chancery Court ruling ordered Biggie's widow, Faith Evans, to hand over Voletta's share of trust profits tied to the rapper's music catalog, part of a deal reportedly worth roughly $200 million with music publisher Primary Wave.

For a family that has spent nearly three decades trying to protect Biggie's name and earnings, the timing is brutal — a grandson now arguing in court that the woman who spent years safeguarding her son's legacy had her own final wishes overwritten in the last two weeks of her life. Neither Barrow nor representatives for the estate had publicly responded to C.J.'s new filing as of Thursday morning.
