During a recent episode of the Marriage or Mirage podcast, Faith Evans opened up about her previous relationship with The Notorious B.I.G. The two of them famously married almost immediately after meeting, but the relationship reportedly took a turn for the worst after his rumored infidelity. Regardless, it’s clear that Evans still has a lot of love for the late performer, sharing what it is she loved the most about him. Considering his alleged love affairs, her answer may not be what fans expected.

When asked what her favorite thing about Biggie was, she said “everything.” “I loved everything about him,” she continued. “He was honest. You understand? One thing about him, even at that young age… honest! Yo, I respect it. I’m like, I can’t take nothing else.” She went on to share a story of how she asked her late husband if he had cheated on her, and he came clean. According to her, honesty is the best policy, especially when it comes to infidelity.

Faith Evans Opens Up About Her And Biggie’s Relationship

She recalled asking her husband, “Did you f*ck her?” and he revealed the truth. Evans claims he was “honest as f*ck,” even when it came to tough situations like cheating. “Most of the time I didn’t know what was going on,” she says. “But when I did and I asked him, he told the truth.” As expected, her response raised some eyebrows. Regardless, she continues to reflect on the positives of her relationship with the rapper, who passed away in 1997.

As for Evans’ current relationships, she recently officially ended her marriage with her third husband, Stevie J. The duo battled things out in court for a while before reaching a settlement back in July. The duo tied the knot in 2018 after being friends for more than two decades. According to reports, they were dealing with some “Irreconcilable differences” that drove them apart. Keep an eye on HNHH for more updates on Faith Evans.

Often, when you hear of an artist working on new music, there are stories of them retreating to some off-the-grid destination, experiencing the environment as they pour all their creativity into their craft, and then bringing the results of that process back to society. For his new performance, though, Pink Sweat$ took the opposite approach, bringing his songs off the beaten path for some wooded live renditions.

The performance, which is part of Uproxx and T-Mobile’s “Way Way Out Live” series, sees Sweat$ retreating to Staten Island’s Walker Pond (40.58°N 74.112°W, in case you wanted the exact coordinates). Once there, Sweat$, flanked only by a keyboardist and audio equipment, starts with “Nothing Feels Better,” stripping the track down to its core elements, which has the benefit of creating a simplistic, more organic arrangement, as well as letting Sweat$’ exemplary vocals dominate even more than they typically do.

From there, he busted out “Spiritual” before wrapping with the platinum-certified “Honesty,” both with the same impactful aesthetic as the first performance.

Also included in the video is a bit of Sweat$’ journey to make it out to his earthy venue. During that segment, he dives into what creativity means to him, saying, “Innovating as an artist means to me that you’re being conscious about your creativity, to the point where you leave a mark on someone’s heart, someone’s soul, someone’s journey in their own life. For me, it’s super important to feel life, you know, things moving and happening around you. It’s a part of the journey to the song.”
