Biggie's Former Manager Wins Catalog Battle Against Faith Evans

A court ruling just handed control of some of Biggie's catalog to his former manager, cutting Faith Evans out of the picture.

But this ruling suggests the courts sided with the manager's claim to the material. Without all the legal details in front of us, it's hard to say exactly what catalog pieces we're talking about or what the full implications are for how Biggie's music gets handled moving forward.
