Diddy Talks Ready To Die Baby

Two years ago, CNN identified the kid on the cover of Nirvana’s classic, Nevermind. So when Rap Radar launched on March 9, 2009, we wanted to find the afro-sporting tyke on the cover of The Notorious B.I.G.’s debut, Ready To Die. Mission: Impossible. Urban legend has it that the baby was Biggie himself. So we reached out to several folks involved with the album, including artwork designer Cey Adams, who claimed the child was the son of Puff’s former stylist.

With today marking the 16th anniversary of Ready To Die, Rap Radar asked Puff four months ago to name that baby! Where are you at son?!

    Interesting to see a Biggie Smalls-rest-in-peace-type-thang on 2Pac’s death day.
    But rest in eternal peace and serenity to both.
    And for their families and too-short lives.
    Good die young.
    Way too young.

    I know who the baby is! It’s actually a girl and she lives outside of Philadelphia. I never thought I’d write on one of these message boards, but I swear my friend from high school’s niece is that baby. We’ve fallen out of touch but i’m still friends with her (cover baby’s aunt) on facebook. I can’t remember how her niece got this honor but i know her family is well-connected and they’re pretty awesome people.
