‘Beautiful Girls’ hitmaker Sean Kingston will portray slain hip-hop icon Notorious B.I.G. in an upcoming Diddy-produced biopic. Biggie’s mom, Voletta Wallace, and his two former managers, Wayne Barrow and Mark Pitts, played a key role in casting the Kingston, Jamaica native.

Sean says: “When I first heard about that movie, it was through management. My management told me about it and you know I had auditioned for it and I met with the director and I nailed it and he gave me a shot now at being in the movie.”
