According to Cathy Scott in his book Murder of Biggie smalls, BIG is not in the mood for partying after booed at the awards ceremony, but he agreed to go "because Puffy Combs had asked him to go." They both want to release the next album BIG Life After Death later that month, and look at the party will be a good promotion.
Witnesses reported that BIG had a good time at the party. He spoke to old friends and met Several flirtatious women. He was talking to old friends and meet some coquette.

After Rivalry
Results hostility (significant because of the death of Shakur and Wallace) will shake the culture of hip hop, rap competition is changing the way both handled by the artist, seen by fans, and was reported by the media. In 1997, several rappers, including: Bizzy Bone, Doug E.

More recently, however, Bad Boy has struggled to remain commercially competitive, due to the lack of talent and allegations that effect Combs are now more concerned with other businesses (eg, his Sean John clothing line.)
At the MTV Video Music Awards in September 1999, Afeni Shakur and Voletta Wallace (mother of 2Pac and The Notorious BIG) to meet the public on the stage to show solidarity. Ms Wallace also offered to help investigate the death of Tupac Shakur's Ms. Even so, Afeni and his lawyers noted that they will not receive a federal investigation.
While competition in the hip-hop continues to exist, because the murder of Shakur and Wallace, yet there is a competition of such magnitude. This may be mainly due to the fact that, seeing the results of this episode (although there is no physical connection Continuous been made linking the actual murder of the rapper murdered for their competition), artists and industry figures leading've noticed tempering battle and commercializing conflict, in seemingly straightforward effort to prevent them from reaching this level.
