The Baby From Biggie's "Ready To Die" Album Reveals Himself [Video]
A high school senior who grew up in the Bronx says he's that chubby-cheeked kid on the cover of "Ready to Die," the debut album by rapper, Notorious B.I.G.
Thanks to a recent interview with the New York Daily News, one of Hip-Hop's longest running mysteries may be solved.
Keithroy Yearwood, not 18, has always been asked many questions after revealing it was him on the legendary Hip-Hop album cover.
"Every time people find out they ask me if I got a lot of money out of it,"
He didn't, in fact he only made $150 for the two-hour modeling agency shoot, where he was shot in diapers, sporting a neatly picked-out Afro.
Released in 1994 by Sean (Diddy) Combs' Bad Boy Records, "Ready to Die" sold 3.3 million copies, according to Nielsen SoundScan.
"I just want people to know that's me," Yearwood said. "The truth is finally coming out."
No one was sure who the child was, not even the graphic designer of the album, Cey Adams.
"That ended up being one of the most-asked questions of all-time," said Adams, who thought the baby was the son of a hairstylist that worked at the record label.
