John Starks Confirms Notorious B.I.G's Story Of Confrontation With Knicks Player
In 1997, rapper Notorious B.I.G released a song called "I Got A Story To Tell" on his Life After Death album.

The song was one of the final released by Biggie before he was murdered. It is considered among the best in hip hop history. In the song, the rapper describes the encounter. He is involved with a former Knicks players who shows up at his home to discover his woman involved with another man, the rapper.
He introduced the situation with the verse, "She's stressing me to f***, like she was in a rush. We f**** in his bed, quite dangerous. I'm in his a** while he playing against the Utah Jazz."
"He comes up in the spot," Biggie says on the song. "Had me scared, had me scared to death, I was shook Daddy."
