Christopher Lee Rios, best known by his stage name Big Pun was an American rapper and songwriter married to Liza Rios. Big Pun, short for Big Punisher, is frequently cited as one of the best MCs of all time.
Gaining notoriety from underground hip-hop scenes in the Bronx borough, he came to prominence for his work with the Terror Squad and Fat Joe. With his significant other, Pun was blessed with 3 beautiful kids.
The couple reportedly starting dating at 14, and Liza was pregnant at 17 when they tied the knot. Sadly the rap sensation especially known for his signature breath control, passed away in 2000, leaving his wife and three kids behind.
Below, let us look at what Big Pun’s wife Liza Rios has been up to after the rapper’s death.
Liza Rios, Writer & Producer
The first Latino artist to go platinum had his fair share of hip-hop drama, especially in the 90s. Big Pun’s wife Liza Rios was a witness to all his antics and produced two documentaries about his life.
As mentioned above, Liza and the Grammy-nominated rapper started dating when they were 14, due to which she knew mostly everything. Unlike controversies surrounding Tupac Shakur and The Notorious B.I.G.‘s deaths, Pun had a heart attack and respiratory failure.

The two documentaries produced and written by the mother of three are; Big Pun: Still Not a Player and Big Pun: The Legacy. Both include exclusive footage of Big Pun, including glimpses into his personal life.
Since both the documentaries came after the death of the 28-year-old, it works as a tribute to him. Liza Rios has also appeared as herself in E! True Hollywood Story and Inside the Label.

Radio Show Host On YouTube
From writing and producing, Big Pun’s wife Liza Rios would transition to radio. The 49-year-old would collab with the Damatrix Studios Network and get her own radio show, “PunIsHer Radio Show.”
The show aired for an hour, every Monday from 6 pm to 7 pm. Liza with a couple of childhood friends as guests talk about their upbringing with the Yeeeah Baby album artist.
The show would also revolve around touching matters which included how the “You Came Up” rapper abused his wife and how Liza handled the upbringing for her children.
Despite the show gathering fans, it was canceled sometime around 2016. It was mainly because of the controversies surrounding it and the defaming of the rapper himself.
Also, it is considered as an act of snitching in hip-hop society, but as times are changing, so are the people.
