Faith Evans is seriously considering legal action against Kim Porter's posthumous memoir after it sensationally implied she played a role in her late husband Biggie Smalls' death – allegations insiders say she vehemently denies.
The scandalous 60-page book titled Kim's Lost Words, published earlier this month, is supposedly a collection of diaries from Sean 'Diddy' Combs' late wife, and includes damning allegations which implicates I'll Be Missing You singer Evans in Biggie's murder.
Biggie, real name Christopher 'The Notorious B.I.G' Wallace, was killed, aged 24, in a drive-by shooting in the early hours of March 9, 1997, in Los Angeles. The case remains unsolved.
While there have been endless conspiracy theories over Biggie's murder and the events that led up to it, Porter's book claims that Diddy, 54, initially orchestrated Evans' relationship with the late star so he could 'monitor' him.
It also alleges that Evans, 51, always suspected disgraced music mogul Diddy had something to do with the rapper's death.
Faith Evans is seriously considering legal action against Kim Porter's posthumous memoir after it implied she played a role in her late husband Biggie Smalls' death, insiders claim
Biggie, pictured with Porter's ex-husband Sean 'Diddy' Combs, was murdered in a drive-by shooting in 1997
An insider told DailyMail.com that she is 'mortified' and 'absolutely disgusted' by the wild claims and denies 'everything the book says about her.'
They said: 'Faith Evans is considering taking legal action against the author of the Kim Porter book.
'The book claims Diddy used her to spy on Biggie Smalls and that she always suspected that Diddy was behind his murder. Faith is horrified by the story because it actually uses her name.'
Evans was married to Biggie until his murder. The couple had one child together, Christopher Wallace Jr, CJ.
Following the damning book's release, the insider claimed that Evans has had to assure her 27-year-old son that she had absolutely zero role in 'harming' his father.
The source added: 'Faith had no idea what the book claimed until she received calls about it and was mortified that anyone would imply that she played a role in harming Biggie.
'Her son, CJ Wallace, is absolutely disgusted and is confused by what the book says. She has had to assure him that it is a lie.
'Faith absolutely denies everything the book says about her and is serious about taking legal action.'
Porter's supposed memoir claims that Diddy, 54, commanded Evans, 51, to date Biggie so that he could 'monitor' him
Porter and Diddy were in an on-off relationship from 1994 until 2007.
There have been many conspiracy theories surrounding the circumstances of her death which have only amplified since Diddy was indicted for racketeering and sex trafficking earlier this month.
Porter's supposed memoir describes Diddy's colorful love life from the 1990s through to her final year, including alleged philandering with both male and female top musicians and rappers, and debauched orgies at his home, in which she also took part.
The book was published by Chris Todd, under the pseudonym Jamal T. Millwood.
One chapter recalls an alleged conversation about Biggie between Evans and Diddy at the office of his record label Bad Boy.
It reads: 'Faith had a tear in her eye as she responded: "He didn't have to die." This is getting very touchy. Did she know? Did she suspect?
'Was this her trying to find out if Sean intentionally killed Biggie? I wanted to ask but of course there was no way of doing that. This is so crazy.
'Sean sighed and replied he didn't. "Don't get me wrong I miss him, but he was leaving me anyway. No one cares about my pain."
'Classic narcissistic Sean it's all about him. I was sickened for a moment…'
Another reads: 'Sean just told Faith that he wouldn't protect her husband but because he was going to leave Bad Boy.
'From a business perspective I didn't disagree with Sean there. If you're leaving and creating competition for him, why would he spend resources on you?
'So, I hugged Sean, but I also knew he didn't have to send Chris to California. I wondered if he realized that he sentenced him to death.'

Since its release, Todd has been grilled on the authentication of the allegations.
In an interview with Rolling Stone, he said: 'If somebody put my feet to the fire and they said, 'Life or death, is that book real?' I have to say I don't know. But it's real enough to me.
'Sometimes you have to just put it out there. Maybe not 100 per cent of the book is true, but maybe 80 per cent is.
The publisher of the 60-page book, Kim's Lost Words, claims Porter shared a thumb drive of her writing with close friends
'That is to get those people to come forward and either corroborate or deny [the claims], and that helps me as an investigator to know the truth.'
The book was released just weeks before Diddy was arrested on sex trafficking charges, which he pleaded not guilty.
In an indictment, authorities said that the rap mogul had abused, threatened and coerced women 'to fulfill his sexual desires, protect his reputation, and conceal his conduct,' with allegations dating as far back as 2008.
Diddy twice attempted to get bail following his arrest, but was ordered to remain in custody at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn.
If convicted, he faces at least 15 years in custody and maximum life sentence.
Earlier this week, Diddy and Porter's children broke their silence in a desperate plea to halt conspiracy theories surrounding their mother's death.
Three of the controversial rapper's children - Christian, 26, twins Jessie, and D'Lila, 17, and Porter's eldest son Quincy, 33 – posted a joint statement on Instagram.
Their statement read: 'WE HAVE SEEN SO MANY HURTFUL AND FALSE RUMORS CIRCULATING ABOUT OUR PARENTS. KIM PORTER AND SEAN COMBS' RELATIONSHIP. AS WELL AS ABOUT OUR MOM'S TRAGIC PASSING. THAT WE FEEL THE NEED TO SPEAK OUT.'
The statement took aim at the book as Porter's four children continued: 'CLAIMS THAT OUR MOM WROTE A BOOK ARE SIMPLY UNTRUE. SHE DID NOT, AND ANYONE CLAIMING TO HAVE A MANUSCRIPT IS MISREPRESENTING THEMSELVES. ADDITIONALLY. PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT ANY SO-CALLED 'FRIEND' SPEAKING ON BEHALF OF OUR MOM OR HER FAMILY IS NOT A FRIEND. NOR DO THEY HAVE HER BEST INTERESTS AT HEART.
'OUR LIVES WERE SHATTERED WHEN WE LOST OUR MOTHER. SHE WAS OUR WORLD. AND NOTHING HAS BEEN THE SAME SINCE SHE PASSED.'
Four of the controversial rapper's children posted a joint statement on Instagram on Tuesday night
The statement from Porter's four children continued: 'WHILE IT HAS BEEN INCREDIBLY DIFFICULT TO RECONCILE HOW SHE COULD BE TAKEN FROM US TOO SOON, THE CAUSE OF HER DEATH HAS LONG BEEN ESTABLISHED. THERE WAS NO FOUL PLAY. GRIEF IS A LIFELONG PROCESS. AND WE ASK THAT EVERYONE RESPECT OUR REQUEST FOR PEACE AS WE CONTINUE TO COPE WITH HER LOSS EVERY DAY.
'WE ARE DEEPLY SADDENED THAT THE WORLD HAS MADE A SPECTACLE OF WHAT HAS BEEN THE MOST TRAGIC EVENT OF OUR LIVES. OUR MOTHER SHOULD BE REMEMBERED FOR THE BEAUTIFUL. STRONG. KIND.
'AND LOVING WOMAN SHE WAS. HER MEMORY SHOULD NOT BE TAINTED BY HORRIFIC CONSPIRACY THEORIES.'
The four children finished off the strongly worded statement by requesting that their mother is respected in her death, adding: 'WE LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU MOMMY.'
