The estate of deceased four-time Grammy nominated rapper The Notorious B.I.G has entered a lawsuit against iCanvas, a small printing company, and major U.S. retailers Target and Home Depot among others, accusing them of selling unauthorized canvas prints of the rapper’s ionic “King of New York” photograph – referred to as the ‘Mona Lisa of hip-hop.’
Photographer Barron Claiborne took the famed portrait of the rapper Christopher George Latore Wallace, also known as Biggie Smalls just three days before his death in 1997 from a drive-by-shooting in Los Angeles, age 24.
