Voletta Wallace, the mother of late rap legend The Notorious B.I.G., recently spoke to ESSENCE Magazine about seeing a side of her son she has never known. This of course came after watching the "Notorious" biopic film of the rapper. She also went to mention that she wanted to reach out to Lil' Kim about her relationship with Biggie...

"There were things about him that I never knew that I wanted to see for myself on film. I saw a side of my son that I heard of but I haven't accepted ... I'm angered by certain things, disappointed and shocked. So this film taught me tolerance and to be less critical ... I would love to speak to Lil' Kim, because I need to ask more about this love relationship because I really didn't like the way he treated her and I'm praying that that's not it. Only she can answer those questions. She's a sweet girl and I didn't think she deserved to be treated the way he treated her, if that's the case."Lil Kim recently voiced her disappointment in the upcoming biopic, even going as far as saying she would expose Ms Wallace and Biggie's wife, Faith Evans.

Lil' Kim recently chatted with Hip Hop Weekly where she slammed The Notorious B.I.G.'s mother, Voletta Wallace, and the late rappers wife, Faith Evans, for their involvement in the upcoming biopic of the rappers life entitled Notorious.

Kim is a bit upset for what she sees as an inaccurate depiction of herself in the film.

"I've had enough and I'm about to expose them both... I've been quiet for a long time. I'm very disappointed in Faith," Kim told the hip hop tabloid this week. "There's nothing Faith or Ms. Wallace could do to stop me from reppin' B.I.G. all day. I'm gonna always do that... It's time for Ms. Wallace to be exposed."

Former girl group member Naturi Naughton plays Kim in the film and acknowledged that she was not able to speak with Kim personally regarding the role. "I worked really had to capture the essence without having her at my side to help me,". "I was intimidated by how she seemed secondary in Big's life...always being rejected. The emotions that it took to go there [were] really tough," she said.

Notorious is set to release in theaters everywhere on January 16th!
