THE MINI ROUND UP: DAME DASH & RACHEL ROY EXPECTING / BIGGIE WAX FIGURE REVEALED
Thursday, October 25, 2007

Damon Dash is celebrating after announcing his fashion designer wife, Rachel Roy, is pregnant with the couple’s second child. Roy is due to give birth in spring 2008; the couple, who wed in 2005, already have a daughter, Ava, born in 1999. Roy says,
“It’s number two and I am thrilled because number one, Ava, is the best thing in my life, and I have always wanted to have another little Ava - or Ava as a boy. So, high fives all around.”
Dash also has a son from a previous relationship.
BIGGIE WAX FIGURE REVEALED
October 25, 2007 [New York, NY] – In a moving tribute to her son, Ms. Voletta Wallace today unveiled a wax figure of legendary rapper Biggie Smalls (born: Christopher Wallace) at Madame Tussauds New York. Many of Biggie’s friends attended the figure unveiling, which also featured a performance by members of the Brooklyn High School of Arts’ choir, who sang “I’ll Be Missing You,” a tribute song composed shortly after Biggie’s death, and gospel classic, “I’ll Fly Away.”
Madame Tussauds visitors will be able to take photos with and even hug Biggie’s figure, which will be housed in its own room on the attraction’s ninth floor. As guests approach the figure, they can use parts of their body to break moving multi-colored light beams to trigger clips of Biggie’s songs to play.
“It is such an honor to have my son’s memory memorialized in such a grand way by Madame Tussauds,” said Ms. Wallace. “Their prestigeously recognized attraction showcases the history of many great men and women the world abroad and I’m touched that they have embraced my son Christopher amongst them. My family thanks you for this beautiful statue symbolizing the legacy of a great man!”

LMAO @ #18! My thought exactly! Not a “big head” in general, but a big ass head, and a big ass forhead, and to top it off, his damn head is wide! Good luck Rachel!

Saw this Rachel Roy comment elsewhere………..OMG well yes!
Rachel is so ick to me…she tries so hard to come off as the upperclass socialite when in reality she was a jumpoff Dame met in the club…Ava was at least three years old before he married Rachel and she had to force him to do that…he was running around town with Aaliyah while she was at home feeding Ava…so they can quit with the we are so happy…you will never be anybody’s it couple so just quit.

@4 Natural Mystique, I agree the one on top does look more realistic. The other two don’t really look like him.

@ # 32… yea i was thinkin the same thing… i really dont know when dame and aaliyah officially started datin but i know it was more than a year.. from what i can remember it was like 2 years… and i do think after he left this Rachel chick he got right into a relationship with aaliyah… like there wasnt a big time period between the 2…. i honestly had no idea he was already dealin with her before aaliyah… i thought she was some hussy what came around while shit was goin bad for him to take his money…lol… well anyhoo congrats to both of them… glad they keepin it together… its a beautiful thing… xoxo

Violetta.. Please let your son rest in peace!! I loved SOME of Big’s songs, HOWEVER.. she needs to realize that he was just another drug dealer turned rapper!.Not a brain surgeon, Nobel Peace prize winner, nor did he find a cure for AIDS, CANCER, ALZHEIMER’S.. Yes, it was a senseless killing, but come on, a wax figure?? Its NOT that serious
As Keyshia says: Let it Goooooooooooo.. Let it Gooooooooooooooooo…

I have no comments for the Biggie wax statue.
I don’t care for Dame and Rachel Roy at all. But congrats on the baby. I will say Rachel’s line is very nice, you wouldn’t be able to tell by the way she dresses though.

Wait….so he had a kid with her before he was dating Aaliyah? So after she passed away (RIP Babygirl), he got back with her? Go figure.
Cool wax scuplture. Way to remember a legend of the game.

From what understand Damon and Aaliyah were only dating for more than a little over a year, and ava was born before they started dating. I think whatever realationship he had with Roy was coming to close whenever he started courting Aaliyah,some people jump from one relationship to another. Congrats to them on the new baby

#34…I wasn’t saying that he was creeping on Aaliyah, I was saying that he was creeping on his baby momma! I don’t know when him and Aaliyah got together (because I don’t personally know either one of them) but the facts show that he was with his baby moms before Aaliyah…..therefore…..either way he was creepin!!!! I’m pretty sure he was still sleeping wit her….guys hardly EVER leave their baby momma’s alone! Especially in such a short time frame!
#45 understands what i’m saying!

it seems like damon dash is very vain, it seems like every woman he gets involved with has to be really pretty. and what do you pep expect, it not going to look exactly like biggie when they only have photos and videos to go off of.

Okay, i promise this is my last post on here! I’m just wandering what u guys are talking about saying one of the wax figures look better than the others! they’re all the same! they just took his hat off in one pic, and u think the one in the top pic looks better…..how bout that’s cause it’s in the background and it’s blurry……(just my opinion)

Im a biggie Fan all the way. The wax figure looks alot like him.
As for Dame Dash and Rachel Roy…. Dame left Rachel to be with Aaliyah the same way Puffy left Kim Porter to be with J. Lo. Not too long after having they seed. And they both took they sorry asses back. I never liked Dame’s corny ass anyway. Never saw what baby girl saw in him.
