The photo, taken by seasoned photographer Chi Modu a short time before Biggie was killed in an as-yet-unsolved Los Angeles shooting, is a pretty rare shot of the Brooklyn icon. While not completely unseen — the image was used in a capsule collection Modu did with Berlin-based designer INAN back in 2018 — it's still a great shot that Snoop gets major props for highlighting. The flick itself was liked by over 250,000 people, including Biggie's former protégée and lover on the low . "Forever the king of East coast," wrote one person in the comments, and were sure nobody would disagree with that statement. R.I.P. forever, BIG.
