Lil’ Kim Says She Passed Up on ‘Playboy’ Opportunity

Lil’ Kim was one of the many celebs who took to social media to express condolences to the legend Hugh Hefner.

This tribute was a bit different, though.

In her Instagram post, the Queen Bee reveals that she had a lucrative offer on the table from Playboy.

Kim on turning down the offer:

“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.”

Depending on when this was supposed to happen, I would probably still have a copy of that issue. The original Kim was beautiful. As a matter of fact, let me go admire that leopard-print bikini poster one mo’ ‘gin. (Young folks, do your Googles.)

Check out Kim’s heartfelt tribute to Hefner below. R.I.P. Hugh Hefner.

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
