While Christopher "CJ" Wallace also wanted to contribute to his dad's legacy, he steered away from music like his half-sister, and went towards acting instead. CJ Wallace, 24, is an upcoming actor and business owner. He even played a young version of his father in the 2009 Biggie Smalls biopic, Notorious. CJ initially didn't want the role, but after reading for it with an acting coach, he found that it was a great way to get to know about his father's past, according to Vibe.

After starring in Will Ferrell's 2010 film Everything Must Go and in MTV's Scream, Wallace turned to running his own cannabis business called Think BIG that also serves to advocate for marijuana legalization, criminal justice reform, and community reinvestment. 

Wallace Jr. also owns Frank White, a lifestyle brand that celebrates Black culture, creativity, self-expression, and freedom, he told Forbes in May 2020. Wallace Jr. always wanted to create something to honor his dad, but it couldn't be music. Wallace wanted to make "more specifically creative, content to tell [his dad's] story." He continued, "It would also fill in missing gaps of who my dad was for me and my sister and I would like to create some new things that honors his impact on the culture in new ways."
