Diddy’s first and most prominent famous artist to join his label was The Notorious B.I.G., who most music fans remember for producing such hits as “Hypnotize,” “Juicy,” and “Who Shot Ya.”
While the artist, whose real name was Christopher Wallace, saw massive highs during his tenure with Bad Boy, he also became embroiled in a gnarly regional feud, headed by Diddy and his long-time rival Suge Knight, who represented Death Row Records.
Biggie was tragically killed in a still-unsolved 1997 shooting incident at the young age of 24.
