Faith Evans, multi-platinum selling singer and widow of the Notorious B.I.G., is set to release a “tell all” book, titled Keep the Faith: A Memoir, this August.
She revealed plans for the book earlier this year, which is said to detail the highs and lows of the singer’s life, but will also shed light on Evans’ controversial relationship with her late husband, the Notorious B.I.G.
Check out what she said about her upcoming book release via a press release:
It’s been over ten years since Big was killed. I grieved for him for a very long time. And then, as time passed, the icy wall of grief surrounding my heart began to thaw and I began to heal. I remarried, had more children, and continued to record and release more music. I continued to live my life. And while I can never discount the time I spent with Big, I’ve never felt the need to live in the past.
But sometimes, I still find myself thinking about Big being rushed the hospital, and I break down in tears.
It’s not just because we hung up on each other during what would be our last telephone conversation. And it’s not because I am raising our son, a young man who has never known his father.
It’s partly all of those things. But mainly it’s because he wasn’t ready to go. His debut album was called Ready to Die. But in the end, he wasn’t. Big never got a chance to tell his story. It’s been left to others to tell it for him. In making the decision to tell my own story, it means that I’ve become one of those who can give insight to who Big really was. But I can only speak on what he meant to me.
Yet I also want people to understand that although he was a large part of my life, my story doesn’t actually begin or end with Big’s death. My journey has been complicated on many levels. And since I am always linked to Big, there are a lot of misconceptions about who I really am.
I hope that in reading my words, there is inspiration to be found. Perhaps you can duplicate my success or achieve where I have failed. Maybe you can skip over the mistakes I’ve made. Use my life as an example-of what to do and in some cases, what not to do.
It’s not easy putting your life out there for the masses. But I’ve decided I’ll tell my own story. For Big. For my children. And for myself.
The book hits stores on August 29th…
I think that’s a good idea, because people want to know the truth behind what was going on.
It also lowers the rumorfest that was surrounding the jail thing.
Good luck to her.
.Idk how i feel about this!
People know they will use those tell all books to stay relevant! Not interested, but hopefully she comes out with some more bangers.
I love it…….and she is still gorgeous!
I can’t read Faith’s book. I hope that she can clear up those rumors about her & Diddy (especially after Biggie died. I heard there were LOTS of DRAMA) and her & Pac of course. This will be a good read.
******Should be an interesting read
I agree with you # 3. It seems to be a trend know-a-days, fall out of the public’s eye for a few years, and to make some quick change, they release a tell-all. If Faith name’s one more thing “keep the Faith”, I’m going to scream.
LoL @ #7
I see Faith and Diddy are going to ride that Biggy train for as long as they can! I guess that’s how they stay relevant.
I’m so happy for her…she has come along way. I can’t wait to hear Lil’ Kim’s reaction about how she is portrayed in the book.
………the book could be therapeutic for Faith, I’m looking forward to reading it.
>>>>Shes so unoriginal. Shes had like 8 albums named Keep the Faith or >>>>something with the word faith in it.
May have to check it out… I am a HUGE Biggie fan!
Sounds like a good read!
There are so much a person that’s in or out of the lime light can do. Clothing line, purfume, jewelry, act, entertainment company, record label, write a book, etc ect. The checks have to come from somewhere. It’s not like they have a 9 to 5!
Keep the Faith is here BRAND!
Well, here’s another “spill my guts” because I need the $ and publicity book. OH well, after the way Diddy did her, I’m surprised she has stayed in the back drop as long as she has.
She has tried numerous times to bounce back to no avail. I think she is a pretty good singer and could’ve had a stellar career had she NOT hooked up with “KILLYA” career Diddy!
Good luck to Faith and her future endeavors!
What will she talk about? How she fucked on Biggie?
I love me some Faith! I think the book thing is a good idea but she needs to release another album….seems like singers wanna do everything else except sing.
I AM A HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE FAITH EVANS FAN!!!!!!!!!! SHES SUCH AN INCREDIBLE SINGER AND HER ALBUMS ARE CLASSICS.
SHE DESERVES WAY MORE SUCCESS WITH HER MUSIC.
I’m definitly going to read this book.I’ve always wanted to get her perspectiv e during that very turbulent time in hip hop. I disagree about Faith doing this for publicity. BIG has been gone for over 10 years. If she was going to cash in, that ship would have already sailed.
——–i hope in this book she clear of alot of things- i believe faith need some more time away from the media because she stated she grieve for a very time over biggie but what was she grieving for because she met her current hubby when she
—-was legally marry to biggie and marry him less than a year after biggie death and
h—had his baby
@Greg_Arious lmao
i couldn’t care less and i don’t know anyone who wants to know. her life is not interesting and R.I.P. to biggie but i don’t want to hear about their relationship.
i hope the book is better than Ms. Wallaces book….that bored me to death! i will read faiths. i can see her telling her point of view but for Puff to still be riding it is rediculous! i hope Faith follows the book with a hot CD because there arent many good Cd’s to rock to these days!
I just want to read about her and Pac.
I can not wait to get the book. I love me some faith i miss her voice she need to come out with a album. For the person saying she riding the biggie train she got money and his money what about that. Anything that have to do with biggie she getting so let her do her. GO FAITH
I will get this
>>I am a Faith fan since day 1 and know that she doesn’t need to write a damn tell all book for money. She is a writer (she did write some of Mary’s hit’s before Mary cracked out on her and started hanging with Kim) and she is a hell of a singer.
>>This is the point people miss about Faith even though she clearly states that her book isn’t a Biggie (RIP!!! GOAT) memoir but a story about her life. Him being a in her life would naturally mean he would be a part of her book.
>>Where on her book cover does it say “My Life as Mrs. B.I.G”, or Me and Biggie? Faith still has fans and more importantly a lovely voice and writing skills.
>>Haters just amaze me.
I’ve been a huge fan of Faith Evans for years. I look forward to purchasing a copy of her book. Jersey Stand Up!
bump the book when is she going to come out with a CD
cant wait!!!
When is her new album coming out????
….Yeah….uhmmmm….ima have to pass on this one…Volita Wallace is not going to
….have Mrs. Evans digging too deep on her and biggie’s relationship. She was the
….woman that had the ring…what more can this book tell us then we already know?
….Oh yeah….what really happened with her and Tupac….that’s all i want to read
about.
For all the people who are die hard Faith fans….GREAT! You have a right to your views and opinions just like the rest of us, therefore, FALL BACK!
I fyou plan to purchase the book, cool, help a sistah out to make the New York Times Best Seller list. However, don’t get mad at all the other folx who won’t!
Lights dim, curtains close!

Do we really need a tell all book? I guess this is in response to the Biggie movie that is set to come out.
this will be interesting, since we are speaking about books angel can u do something about sister sojahs new book the secound sequel too the coldest winter ever, if you know the book Diana
i wanna read her book…SHE’S BEEN THE ONLY ONE OUT OF BADBOY CAMP in those days to NOT BE SHOUTIN OUT BIGGIE NAME ON EVERYTHING…so i feel like she knows him in a different way
I JUS MiGHT READ iT
I WONDER IF SHE MENTIONED 2PAC IN HER BOOK BECAUSE SHE CLAIMS THEY WERE JUST FRIENDS BUT IT SEEMS LIKE SHE BEEN HIDING THE REAL TRUTH FOR YEARS.
Why is this being a “tell all” instead of a Biography?
I love Faith and I think her story can be inspriring.
i know im all hung up on details, but um……how do yall “hang up on each other”. one of yall hung up on the other, and since she didn’t wanna say..he must have hung up on her lol
Good for her….. Ive always liked her.
*shaking my head*…I think what she meant by we both hung up on each other is that they were both not feeling the convo and ended it…it doesnt necessarily meant that (he) hung up on her or she on him…just means they (both) chose to end the convo. …”geesh”…..lol!
Faith is a great woman, lovely voice, and great personality
I love Faith, she always stays beautiful.
Naw Faith we don’t want a book, we want an album!!
*********** I might read the book.
@C_lo
Co-sign,I could give a flying hoot about this book,just bring on new music.
FAITH I THINK IT’S A GOOD IDEA TO RELEASE THIS BOOK. YOUR GOING TO SELL ALOT OF BOOKS. CAN’T WAIT UNTIL AUGUST 29TH.
I look forward to this read.
I will be at the bookstore.
yes! this book is long awaited. I know faith used to PISSED off all the time when Biggie was out there. she NEVER used to smile.
And Faiths life is still pretty interesting without BIG, her being biracial, raising all them kids, and at the same time being a key pioneer at the baddest record label of the 90′s.
But Faith, can you attach an CD to the book?? pleeeease. her voice is incredible!
For some reason I think this book is going to be boring. I don’t care what nobody say if this was a Lil Kim “tell all” I would read it. To me Faith and Biggie were not together long enough for her to really have a lot to say and since she is partly using him to sell books…
On a good note can we get a new album Faith? lol
WHO TF CARES? A wasted drug-headed-lost career bytch who tried to bring Kim down in the past NOW GONE BAD!!! Go back to housewife, chile. Yo career is OVA!!! I used to love you (as you once sang) but honey, baby, it is what it is!!!!
Faith isn’t doing this to get money or attention. She doesn’t need to. She’s been a song write for years. So she gets paid from that, But, most important, she’s not doing this just about BIG either. Ever since her into the game, people have always talked about her. Mainly because of the characters and events that surrounded her life. She’s never said one word about it. At least publically. I guess she figured, everybody’s talked about me to every extent. It’s time to tell my own story. So I go ahead Faith.
Why are people making an ass of themselves? I mean seriously…catching feelings because someone disagreed with your opinion while pointing fingers at others for the same offense is so schizophrenic, not to mention highly hypocritical.
Anyway, good for Faith. She’s a true artist and I wish her the best.
Faith is one of the few people who actually released a book to really explain something…not to stay relevant. Faith is happy with herself, she is not trying to dish dirt, she waited FOR YEARS to release this book. If she wanted to stay relevant, she would have wrote the book 10 years ago. Good Luck Faith, I hope you make the best sellers list.
I’d like to share it with the hotties who also like sports I met at **R I C H L O V I N G.C O M***,where the hot affluent singles and sexy girls and models to hook up for Hot Love, Flirt and Sexy Dating!
I think I will be purchasing this book. I’ve always liked Faith and it’s really just a curious read for me. I’m interested in what she might have to say.
—–I love love love Faith!!!! I look forward to the book but PLEASE drop an album.
—– She’s in my my top five as far as favorite female artist.
She wants to clear up f*cking her husbands biggest rival?????????
Faith gets no love and she knows it.
She fell off the map after all that mess.
She was wrong wrong wrong.
You dont get a playa back like that.
I didnt wan tto hear it then and I dont want to hear it now.
KICK ROCKS FAITH!!!!!
