They both stood outside the venue taking photos of each other, and from that moment, the pair bonded.
Baltimore then went on tour with Biggie and he helped her develop her rap skills.
“He had the best sense of humor and best personality so it was a natural progression into a relationship,” Baltimore recalled.
“He was definitely different from any dude I’d ever dated up until that point. Maybe about four or five months in, he was saying he loved me.”
The relationship came to a tragic end when Biggie was shot to death at a stoplight in Los Angeles.

It is what it is. He was everything. You know how it is when you’re in the industry: the guys can do whatever they want, but you can’t do sh*t. You can’t do nothing,” says the rapper, referring to polygamy and side-relationships.
