Pig Nicknamed “Piggie Smalls” Lives Up Block From Notorious B.I.G.’s Old Stomping Ground

The Notorious B.I.G. has several tribute songs, a wax statue and even his own day in Brooklyn. You can now add a pig named in his honor to the number of ways the legendary rapper has been paid tribute. There is a 8-pound swine living in the Brooklyn Cares Vet on Fulton Street, just up the street from Biggie's Clinton Hill stomping ground. The workers at the vet have affectionately named the pig, Piggie Smalls.

The pig was rescued from Central Florida where he was suffering from neglect, reportedly living off a diet of Capt N Crunch and horse food. A far cry T-bone steaks, cheese eggs and Welch's grape. When he arrived he was suffering from a number of ailments, but Bigg Poppa's namesake has recovered. "It has been awesome to see the Notorious P.I.G. come out of his shell," Dr. Timothy Mann said.
