Notorious B.I.G. Mother, VOLETTA Wallace is not holding back her tough word for Sean Combs, a.k.a ‘P Diddy’ regarding the abusive ways he allegedly treat ladies, some of which were reportedly captured on video and showed on national television. The 71-year-old retired teacher has promised to slap daylights out of ‘P Diddy’ anytime she sets her eyes on him.
After Rolling Stone published a lengthy article about Sean “Diddy” Combs’ alleged longtime abusive behavior that mentioned The Notorious B.I.G. earlier this week, the late rap icon’s mom is speaking out.

The investigative story featured interviews with dozens of Combs’ former friends and colleagues, touching on his alleged violence toward accusers including Casandra “Cassie” Ventura as well as jealousy over Biggie (born Christopher Wallace) and Tupac Shakur’s friendship in the years leading up to their deaths.

Voletta spoke to Rolling Stone in the publication, telling the outlet she feels “sick to my stomach” in response to the allegations surrounding Combs, 54, as well as the recently-surfaced footage of him physically assaulting Ventura in a 2016 hotel incident.
“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),” she said. “I pray that he apologizes to her.”
The retired teacher also expressed disappointment in the Bad Boy Records founder-and detailed how she’d react in a potential future interaction with him.
“I hope that I see Sean one day and the only thing I want to do is slap the daylights out of him. And you can quote me on that,” declared Voletta. “Because I liked him. I didn’t want to believe all the awful things, but I’m so ashamed and embarrassed.”
“He needs to apologize to his mother,” the founder of the Christopher Wallace Memorial Foundation added. “I hope to God he sits her down and spills his guts and apologize to her.”
One anecdote from the Rolling Stone report on Combs saw former Bad Boy partner and president Kirk Burrowes claiming the “I’ll Be Missing You” rapper felt slighted when Shakur and Biggie grew close.
“There was someone on the sidelines, jealous,” Burrowes said, referring to Combs.
Biggie was a Bad Boy artist, while Shakur was signed to the rival Death Row Records. Per the article, Combs was “fond” of Shakur and tried to befriend him-but the “California Love” rapper wanted no part.
“Pac didn’t have any kind of respect for Puff,” hip-hop photographer Monique Bunn told the outlet, explaining that he thought of Combs as a “corny executive,” and, according to Burrowes, of Biggie as his peer.
Everything “got blown out of proportion,” Bunn said, following a 1994 incident where Shakur was shot five times in a New York City recording studio, as the rapper thought that Combs and his Bad Boy crew had set him up.
Shakur and Biggie soon became hostile with one another. In September 1996, Shakur died in a drive-by shooting at age 25 in Las Vegas. Months later, Biggie was shot and killed in Los Angeles at age 24.
Biggie reportedly had plans to leave Bad Boy shortly before he died, Bunn told Rolling Stone. “I know for a fact [because] he told me that,” she said.
After the “Hypnotize” rapper’s death, Burrowes also told the outlet, Rolling Stone approached Combs with plans to put Biggie on the cover- but Combs allegedly wanted to take the spot for himself.
“I was telling Sean, ‘Let’s make it Biggie. You still have a chance (for a cover in the future). He’s like, ‘No, he’s dead. I’m putting out (Combs’ debut album No Way Out) in July. I need to be on the cover of Rolling Stone,” Burrowes claimed.
Combs is currently in the midst of a number of sexual assault and sex trafficking lawsuits against him, and in March, his properties in Los Angeles and Miami were raided as part of an ongoing Homeland Security investigation.
Cable News Network, CNN reported on May 29 that the U.S. Justice Department may be preparing to file an indictment against the music mogul, and that his accusers have been contacted and interviewed by federal investigators and notified that they may be brought in to testify in front of a federal grand jury.
Combs has denied all allegations, saying in a statement obtained by PEOPLE in December: “ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. For the last couple of weeks, I have sat silently and watched people try to assassinate my character, destroy my reputation and my legacy.”
“Sickening allegations have been made against me by individuals looking for a quick payday. Let me be absolutely clear: I did not do any of the awful things being alleged. I will fight for my name, my family and for the truth,” he added.
On May 17, CNN published surveillance video that showed him grabbing, shoving and kicking Ventura in a 2016 altercation in a Los Angeles hotel, an incident she previously detailed in a lawsuit filed in November.
“I was f—ed up. I mean I hit rock bottom but I make no excuses. My behavior on that video is inexcusable. I take full responsibility for my actions in that video,” he said in an apology the next day. He captioned the post, “I’m truly sorry.”
