This past Wednesday we lost major iconic Hugh Hefner to natural causes. Many have taken to social media to share memories as they are mourning his death. A few people from the hip-hop community took to social media to say goodbye to the legend.

Today Lil’ Kim decided to pay her respects by taking to IG to post a very sentimental message. In a very heartfelt farewell, Lil Kim revealed that she had denied a 7-figure offer to appear in Playboy.

She also mentions how much she regrets not taking Hefner up on his offer. What Kim says she regrets about it, is not the money but the fact that she could have had more time to spend with him.

The post gets pretty deep. Who would have thought Kim and Hef were that close. You def need to peep everything she said. Check it out below and let us know what you remember about the Playboy creator.

This is one man that I thought would live forever. Ugh I’m so broken-hearted that I didn’t get to spend more time with him Hugh believed in my beauty more than myself, he always put me on a pedestal. If you got to know him it was a pleasure and honor. He was such a great wonderful spirit and so much fun! I remember turning down a non-disclosed 7 figure offer from Hugh and till this day I regret it, not because of the money, but because it would have been an honor to be a part of this beautiful mans archive and historic catalog. You never changed up and you were always the same kind loving person. Every time I saw you, even after the fact that we didn’t get to make history 2gether, our love for each other always remained the same. I Love You to the heavens Hugh and I will miss you dearly #riphughhefner
