T'yanna Wallace, daughter of the legendary Brooklyn rapper known to hip-hop fans as The Notorious B.I.G., has taken her entrepreneurial spirit to new heights with the opening of The Biggie Experience Museum in March. This comes seven years after she launched Notoriouss Clothing, showcasing her drive and determination to honor her father's legacy.
The little girl who was once rapped about by The Notorious B.I.G. in his iconic debut single "Juicy" from the album "Ready To Die," has grown up and is surely making her father proud. In a recent interview with Forbes, T'yanna shared her motivation behind starting the museum and why it was so important to her.
Reflecting on her journey, T'yanna recalls opening her clothing store on Atlantic Ave in Brooklyn, just a block away from the Barclay Center. She remembers seeing her father's jersey hanging in the stadium and how fans would come to her store to admire the iconic items from his music videos and awards. This sparked the idea for the museum, as T'yanna noticed the interest and connection fans had with her father's clothing and personal artifacts.
"I realized that his fans truly want to see his belongings and be immersed in the history behind them," T'yanna shared with the media outlet. "During the five years of having my store, it became clear to me that this was something I needed to do."
She also spoke about the importance of preserving and continuing her father's legacy. "I understand the impact my father had on the culture and community. It has always been my goal to carry on his legacy. I never wanted it to fade away, especially knowing how quickly things can change," T'yanna expressed.
She went on to say, "We have seen many celebrities' fame diminish after their passing, and I never wanted that to happen to my father, even though I know his legacy speaks for itself. I want to be the one to say, 'My father may not be here, but I know how special he was.'"
T'yanna has plans to hold a special event in July at the museum to commemorate the anniversary of one of her father's albums. If you find yourself in New York City, be sure to visit The Biggie Experience Museum located at 503 Atlantic Ave in Brooklyn.
