- The money is destined for the Christopher Wallace Memorial Foundation.
- A separate dispute over Voletta’s will is still ongoing.

## Summary

A Delaware judge has ordered Faith Evans to immediately pay nearly $14 million to the trust of Voletta Wallace, settling the dispute over the trust’s share of profits from The Notorious B.I.G.’s estate. The money is to be passed by trustee Wayne Barrow to the Christopher Wallace Memorial Foundation, as Voletta’s will directs.

The order covers a 25 per cent share of profits accrued between Voletta’s death on 21 February 2025 and December 2025. That share totals $12.5 million, with interest bringing the payment to nearly $14 million. Barrow remains involved in a separate lawsuit in which Biggie’s son, CJ Wallace, challenges changes to his grandmother’s will that made Barrow sole trustee; Barrow denies allegations that he manipulated her.
