Yesterday has marked 25 years since Notorious B.I.G. dropped his classic album, Ready to die. In honor of this anniversary, Optimo Cigars hosted an event called "Biggie Inspires" in New York last night. Biggie has often been seen and photographed with a cigar or sponge in his mouth, so it makes sense that a cigar company considers it a source of inspiration. "Biggie Inspires" was a party, but it was also an art contest. Optimo has collected works inspired by B.I.G. for weeks before the event and has featured a lot on the site. However, the works of two laureates were selected to be transformed into massive murals in the rapper's former Brooklyn base. The Instagram page of the cigar company is now filled with colorful drawings honoring the legend.

King Combs, Lil Kim (who is often seen attending events in remembrance of her lost friend) and Rick Ross were part of the crowd. The event was held in collaboration with Biggie's field, so his two children went into action. Christopher Jordan (CJ) and T & # 39; yanna Wallace had the chance to meet the Big Boss himself, Rick Ross. Ross shared a photo of his meeting with "the beautiful girl and the son" CJ "of the legendary B.I.G." to what he called an "honorable event".

In March, CJ launched a cannabis company called "Think BIG", a company that he said was largely motivated by his father's influence. T & # 39; yanna also makes the legacy of her father live through her Notoriouss clothing store.
