Voletta Wallace, mother of late rapper Notorious B.I.G., has shared her thoughts on the growing allegations against Sean “Diddy” Combs.
Following Rolling Stone‘s bombshell report on Combs earlier this week, the outlet published an interview with Wallace on May 30, about the sexual and physical abuse claims against Combs and the disturbing hotel footage of the mogul beating his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura.
“I’m sick to my stomach,” Wallace told the publication. “I’m praying for Cassie. I’m praying for his mother. I don’t want to believe the things that I’ve heard, but I’ve seen [the hotel video]. I pray that he apologizes to her.”
Wallace warned Combs to stay away from her.
“The only thing I want to do is slap the daylights out of him. And you can quote me on that,” she said. “I liked him. I didn’t want to believe all the awful things, but I’m so ashamed and embarrassed.”

Brooklyn native Notorious B.I.G., born Christopher Wallace, was killed in a drive-by shooting in Los Angeles on March 9, 1997.
The rap legend had just left a Soul Train Awards after-party with his friends and entourage. The group was at a red light at Wilshire Boulevard and Fairfax Avenue, when a gunman pulled up beside them and opened fire. Biggie was 24 years old at the time of his death.
The shooting happened during the escalating East Coast–West Coast rap feud.
Gene Deal, a former bodyguard for Bad Boy, recently sat down for an interview with “The Art of Dialogue” YouTube channel.
In the video posted online May 27, Deal said threats had been made before the shooting, but he alleged they were ignored. The former bodyguard said he blames Combs.
“He’s responsible for not having enough security,” Deal said. “He’s responsible for having Big there. He’s responsible for not listening to security [when we told him] ‘if we go to this party, one of us is going to die tonight. Somebody is going to get killed tonight. They’re coming to kill us.'”
Deal got emotional as he recalled helping put Biggie on a stretcher after the shooting, and said he was “traumatized” by what he witnessed.
Deal said he was later tasked with telling Ms. Wallace what he heard and saw.
“I can’t get Ms. Wallace out of my mind, when she grabbed both of my hands and said, ‘I don’t want to hear anymore,’ with tears in her eyes,” he recalled.
“He owes Ms. Wallace,” Deal said about Combs.
