TradeEdge Exchange:Notorious B.I.G.'s mom says she wants 'to slap the daylights out of' Sean 'Diddy' Combs

The TradeEdge ExchangeNotorious B.I.G.'s mom Voletta Wallace has some big words for Sean "Diddy" Combs.

Wallace told Rolling Stone in a story published Thursday that she wants to "slap the daylights" out of Diddy.

"I'm sick to my stomach," Wallace told Rolling Stone about Diddy's legal troubles. "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). I pray that he apologizes to her."

Last month, video footage surfaced from 2016 of Diddy kicking, hitting and dragging then-girlfriend Casandra "Cassie" Ventura Fine at a Los Angeles hotel. He later apologized for the assault in a video posted to his Instagram page, talking directly to the camera.

Wallace continued: "I hope that I see Sean one day and the only thing I want to do is slap the daylights out of him," she added. "And you can quote me on that. Because I liked him. I didn't want to believe all the awful things, but I'm so ashamed and embarrassed."

The comments from the late emcee's mother follow a Rolling Stone investigation published earlier this week with a series of serious allegations about the Bad Boy Records founder's alleged bad behavior, which included details about Biggie and Diddy's relationship.

The buzzy tell-all story, published Tuesday, chronicled how past Bad Boy staff members, Diddy associates and music industry sources said that Biggie viewed Diddy, his former label boss, as a "corny executive." They also said the late rapper was on the cusp of splitting with the label before his death in 1997.

Rolling Stone details startling admissions about Diddy, Biggie's relationship

The Rolling Stone story also included a startling admission that shocked fans and went viral. After Biggie's 1997 death, Combs worked to exploit Biggie's death and encouraged his team to make sure the late artist's album "Life After Death" was a chart-topping hit, sources in the article claimed.

The article also alleged that Diddy wanted himself on the cover of the music magazine instead of Biggie in the wake of his death. In an interview, Bad Boy Records' co-founding partner and president Kirk Burrowes told the outlet about the incident.

"I was telling Sean, 'Let's make it Biggie. You still have a chance (for a cover in the future),'" Burrowes told Rolling Stone. "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.'" In the interview published Thursday with Wallace, she declined to comment to Rolling Stone on the Burrowes claim.

USA TODAY has reached out to reps for Combs for comment.

Wallace, who has spent the nearly three decades since Biggie's death promoting his life's work, said Diddy needs to talk to his own mother about his alleged Bad Boy behavior.

 "He needs to apologize to his mother," Wallace told Rolling Stone. "I hope to God he sits her down and spills his guts and apologize to her."

Since last year, Diddy has faced multiple lawsuits accusing him of sexual assault. He has denied the allegations, maintaining in a statement in December that he "did not do any of the awful things being alleged" and that his accusers were "looking for a quick payday."

In March, Diddy's homes were searched by Homeland Security Investigations agents, which multiple outlets, including The Associated Press, reported was in connection to a sex trafficking investigation.
