Redman humorously revealed he felt a twinge of jealousy when his high school girlfriend, Faith Evans, married The Notorious B.I.G., offering fans a nostalgic glimpse into their past connection.

During an interview with Acton Entertainment, the legendary Jersey rapper and actor reflected on his younger days, recounting his feelings about Faith’s relationship with Biggie.

 “When she started her relationship with Biggie, I was jealous,” Redman joked. “First of all…Faith was my sister’s best friend, and I met Faith through my sister… Yeah, we were all young. Me and Faith was dating at a very young age before we got on. She’s always been a sweetheart to me.”

Redman also shared that he had introduced Faith to Erick Sermon back in the day but couldn’t fully support her musical aspirations because he was just starting out himself.

“She was amazing and still is today one of the best queens of R&B to me,” he said. “I wanted to put her on, but I was just getting on myself, so I really couldn’t do too much.”

Despite any initial feelings of jealousy, Redman admitted he celebrated Faith’s success and happiness as her romance with Biggie unfolded.

Reflecting on that period, he explained: “When she started dating Biggie and stuff … I was doing my thing. I was already on tour wildin’ out with chicks, you know? Me and her had split and parted ways, of course, but she would still come to see me. … Then she finally got on, and I was happy for her.”

Red went on to express admiration for Faith’s career trajectory and life choices. “So, when she dated Biggie, man, I was like, you know, Faith has always been a smart person. You know, she’s Brick City. She’s Jersey all day. So, of course, she’s going to move with good discernment. … Then they had a kid and I was just amazed at her outcome, like literally getting on, being successful, being part of one of the hottest rap crews at the time. I was, ‘Wow, she’s doing her thing.’ So only thing I can do was salute her, pray for her and wish her the best.”

Faith herself later confirmed their high school romance during a guest appearance on Drink Champs, adding further validation to the story of their youthful connection.
