T’yanna Wallace is tired of being referred to as “Notorious B.I.G.’s daughter.”
T’yanna Wallace may be the daughter of the legendary Notorious B.I.G., but she wants everyone to know that she is her own person. During an interview with the New York Post, Wallace opened up about wanting people to embrace her identity, “I don’t like when people say, “Oh, that’s Biggie’s daughter,” because that’s not my name.”
Wallace, 26, who recently hosted her first runway show for the launch of her clothing line, Notoriouss, stated, “Now everybody knows Notoriouss clothing by T’yanna Wallace. I barely hear “Biggie’s daughter.” I hear T’yanna first, and I like that.”
CJ Wallace, was in attendance at the event to support his sister, while Casanova hit the stage for a bit of entertainment.
Wallace added that she’s making a name for herself, “I don’t want to live off of my dad’s money. I want to make my own money. I worked in the cafeteria for a year while I attended Penn State.”
The Brooklyn based line pays tribute to Biggie, who was brutally gunned down on March 9, 1997, when T’yanna was almost four years old.
