The camo look, originally introduced in 2018 as part of the NBA’s City Edition Remix—honors the Bed-Stuy legend behind Ready to Die and the borough mantra “Spread Love the Brooklyn Way.” Since its launch, the Nets say it has remained one of the most popular uniforms of the team’s Brooklyn era.

“You can’t talk about Brooklyn without invoking the sentiment ‘Spread Love the Brooklyn Way.’ The Notorious B.I.G. repped Brooklyn to the fullest and had a resounding effect on everyone who calls Brooklyn home,” said Elliot Osagie, CEO and founder of Benin City Entertainment.

“His influence is unmatched, and it is an immense privilege to honor Biggie and his legacy as one of the most influential cultural icons of all time.”

Osagie added that the partnership has been years in the making: “Our relationship with the Brooklyn Nets has always been organic. I worked to bring this vision to reality from way back in 2017 with the raising of Biggie’s banner at Barclays Center. To see how this spark has grown, and where it’s going, is a gift to day-one fans and those yet to be.”

“Biggie Nights” and first looks

The Nets will stage a series of “Biggie Nights,” opening on Tuesday, Nov. 11, featuring special halftime performances (to be announced) and a Biggie bobblehead giveaway. Tickets for the first Biggie Night and all 2025–26 Nets home games are available at brooklynnets.com/tickets.

The anonymous plaintiff, identified as John Doe, accuses Diddy of multiple acts of sexual misconduct, including an incident in which Combs allegedly masturbated in front of him and ejaculated on a shirt belonging to The Notorious B.I.G.

In one account detailed in the lawsuit, Doe claims that Wallace was among several men who transported him to a Revolt TV location in a vehicle owned by Combs Corporation in 2020. The suit alleges that Doe was ambushed, then taken to a separate room where Diddy allegedly attempted to force oral sex.

Doe further claims a photo was taken to use as potential blackmail, and that Wallace and others drove him home following the incident.

The lawsuit seeks damages for sexual battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and other claims.

Diddy’s legal team has denied all allegations, issuing a statement through TMZ: “Mr. Combs’s trial and acquittal on trafficking and RICO charges proves what we have been saying all along: Mr. Combs never sexually assaulted or trafficked anyone.

That people continue to broadcast and file false accusations, no matter how heinous and uncorroborated, is unfortunate, but Mr. Combs will not back down. He will fight for as long as necessary to win his full vindication.”

CJ Wallace has not publicly commented on the allegations as of press time.

In an enthusiastic tweet, hustl. shared, “Where Brooklyn at? Get your copy of our Deadpool & Wolverine: WWIII #3 variant cover featuring @thenotoriousbig NOW!!!” The link provided directs fans to the hustl. website, where the comic is available in a limited run of 3,000 copies, along with an additional 1,000 spotlight virgin variant copies.

Elliot Osagie, chief strategy officer of The Notorious B.I.G. Estate and CEO of Benin City, expressed the synergy between comic book culture and Biggie’s storytelling. “The characters fit, the cultural intersection works, and fans love seeing the two worlds together. That’s why we came back with another cover.”

This marks the second time The Notorious B.I.G. has appeared on a Marvel Comics variant cover. His first appearance was on a limited-edition cover of “Deadpool” (2022) #1. Hustl.’s COO Keri Harris highlighted the significance of this collaboration, noting that both Biggie and hip-hop turned 50 this year.

“We at hustl. were absolutely thrilled to work with his team and Marvel to create this variant as our way of paying tribute to one of the greatest and influential hip-hop icons of all time,” Harris said.

In the current issue, Biggie is depicted as a peacemaker, intervening in a fight between Deadpool and Wolverine on the streets of Brooklyn. While Biggie is not part of the story or series, the special variant cover is a limited-edition collectible.

This year also marks the 30th anniversary of Biggie’s first release, “Juicy,” from his debut album, “Ready to Die.” The lyrical legend was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2020, and this year, the Library of Congress added “Ready to Die” to the National Recording Registry.
