A crown worn by the rapper Notorious B.I.G. in what is said to have been his last photoshoot has sold for nearly £500,000. He was pictured wearing the crown, which he signed, in 1997 – three days before he was killed in Los Angeles, according to the auction house that sold it.

The Notorious B.I.G., also known as Biggie Smalls, wore the crown in his famous King Of New York photoshoot with Rap Pages Magazine.

It sold for 594,750 US dollars (about £458,000) in a sale in New York on Wednesday. The Sotheby’s auction also featured love letters written by another late rapper, Tupac Shakur, while he was a teenager.

A total of 22 letters written when he was 16 to Kathy Loy, who he went to school with, sold for 75,600 US dollars (£59,000).
