Madame Tussauds New York Unveils The Notorious B.I.G

In a moving tribute to her son, Ms. Voletta Wallace today unveiled a wax figure of legendary rapper Biggie Smalls (born: Christopher Wallace) at Madame Tussauds New York. Many of Biggie's friends attended the figure unveiling, which also featured a performance by members of the Brooklyn High School of Arts' choir, who sang "I'll Be Missing You," a tribute song composed shortly after Biggie's death, and gospel classic, "I'll Fly Away."

Madame Tussauds' studio artists studied hundreds of photos and hours of video footage of Biggie to create the figure and to ensure that they captured Biggie's spirit and demeanor, as well as his physical likeness. Madame Tussauds visitors will be able to take photos with and even hug Biggie's figure, which will be housed in its own room on the attraction's ninth floor. As guests approach the figure, they can use parts of their body to break moving multi-colored light beams to trigger clips of Biggie's songs to play.

"Biggie is a cultural icon and we are thrilled to have his wax figure in our attraction," said Bret Pidgeon, Acting General Manager of Madame Tussauds New York. "It is such an honor to have my son's memory memorialized in such a grand way by Madame Tussauds," said Ms. Wallace who did the unveiling.

Biggie is largely recognized by the music community as one of the greatest rap artists of all time. His influence on and absence from the hip hop community can still be felt today - more than 10 years after his tragic death.
