Background

Born in New York City to Faith Evans and Christopher Wallace (The Notorious B.I.G.), Christopher Wallace Jr. didn’t exactly have a happy childhood. His parents separated shortly after he was born, and his father was murdered in a drive-by shooting in March 1997, when he was only four months old. His mom, an American singer, raised him on her own until she married Todd Russaw in 1998. However, Wallace lost a father again in 2011 when Russaw and Evans divorced.

In 2009, he starred in the movie “Notorious,” which was his breakthrough role. The film was centered on the life and death of his father. He played the role of the younger version of his father. His next appearance was in the comedy film “Everything Must Go” alongside Will Ferell and Rebecca Hall. He was later featured in the 2016 adventure film “Kicks” with Jahking Guillory and Christopher Meyer.

In March 2019, Wallace collaborated with his former stepfather Todd Russaw and entrepreneur Willie Mack to establish a cannabis company called Think BIG. According to the founders, the brand’s vision is to change people’s perception of cannabis and help them view it through the lens of “curiosity, creativity, contemplation, and healing.” In April of that year, the company released its cannabis brand called Frank White, named in honor of the late Christopher Wallace. They also partnered with Lowell Co. to produce pre-rolled cannabis joints.
