As a way of honoring his friend, Sean "Diddy" Combs also launched the #Missingyou Challenge wherein he asked his fans to make a cover for the song "I'll be Missing You," the track that featured Biggie's wife Faith Evans. According to Z955, he started the challenge while he was still partying in Miami, Florida, inspiring his fans by posting his party videos on Instagram.

According to NME, Diddy has spoken about the incident in a YouTube post where he revealed the call that changed their lives together. He mentioned how Biggie called him and informed that he is cancelling his plans to fly to London and instead will attend a party in Los Angeles.

Biggie was shot to his death after leaving the VIBE party. Diddy expressed his emotions, saying, "It's a call that I always, always, always remember. There wasn't a way I could talk to him out of it. I didn't run Biggie. He was his own man at the end of the day and he just wasn't gonna go." He added, "What if he would just have gotten in the plane?"
