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.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><br>Biggie reportedly had plans to leave Bad Boy shortly before he died, Bunn told Rolling Stone. \u201cI know for a fact [because] he told me that,\u201d she said.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><strong>After the &#8220;Hypnotize&#8221; rapper&#8217;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.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><br>\u201cI was telling Sean, \u2018Let\u2019s make it Biggie.
