The Child From Biggie’s Classic ‘Ready To Die’ Album Cover Is 18
The NY Times was able to locate the kid who appeared on the Notorious B.I.G.’s classic album cover for ‘Ready To Die’. 18 year old Keithroy Yearwood said his mother was paid only $150 for the 2 hour shoot, but he just wanted people to know that it was him on the cover as he became older. He says when he turned 8 is when it began to hit him after seeing friends & family hanging posters of the album on their walls. Yearwood says he wanted people to at least know it was him on the iconic cover, but many people including family didn’t believe him. Yearwood says it was a honor to be on such an iconic album & adds that his favorite Biggie songs today are “Juicy” & “Big Poppa”.
