This is my favourite post today.the newyork daily news has uncovered the truth behind the baby who was on Notorious B.I.G.'s classic debut Ready to Die Album cover.As the music world commemorated the 14th anniversary of Biggie's death on March 9th,speculations began to rise on the identity of the child featured on the late rapper's album cover.according to puff daddy in an interview with rap radar--- "That was a baby we just found... We did a little casting for somebody that looked like Big," and the Bad Boy offices had long lost any concrete form of documentation.But thanks to the new york daily news,the mystery's now solved!.18years old Keithroy Yearwood was that child.yearwood was a paid model back then,and his mum Delcenia Burns,was paid $150 to have her son on the cover.in the interview with daily news yearwood said--"I just want people to know that's me. The truth is finally coming out,".the newyork news outlet also took their time to compare the baby photos to verify the claim...and its true.baby yearwood was recruited by the now-defunct modeling agency Chicky's Kids,and was eventually photographed by Butch Belair,'ready to die' cover photographer. Yearwood, who plans to study sports management in college,had this to say of his new claim to fame."When I first found out about it, it wasn't a big deal to me. Now, of course, it's a big deal to me,It's an honor to be on this album." He sure is the most iconic infant in album-cover history.
