Today I learned the reason why Diamond D album covers only say "Diamond" is because a white guy from California had already trademarked "Diamond D"

I think it was because biggie smalls was a name of a character in a movie and whoever made the movie got em to change

There was a Biggie Smalls in Let's Do It Again. In like 1975. Classic flick.

But B.I.G. couldn't use the name officially because another artist had it.

There were at least four people using some variation of the name ‘Biggie Smalls’ that were affiliated with Tupac.

• The Notorious B.I.G., the obvious Biggie Smalls who Shock G had once wrongly suggested that this song was about.
• Big D The Impossible (Deon Evans), one of Tupac’s producers. You can see Tupac refer to him as Biggie Smalls in this video
• Tim Bigelow (who used the name Biggy Smallz), a young rapper who had songs produced by Tupac’s producer Johnny J. It is rumored that Tupac told Biggie to change his name because of this him.
• Drik (Stretch’s friend, who was nicknamed Biggie Smalls)

This track is actually dedicated to Drik, who grew up in Queensbridge with Stretch and The Live Squad and was a part of Tupac’s ‘Thug Life’ movement.

Big Syke states that this track was dedicated to Drik in this interview.
