In a world where hip-hop is often filled with drama, Lil Kim’s recent Instagram post shines a light on her love and respect for Voletta Wallace, the mother of her late friend and musical partner, The Notorious B.I.G. In this heartfelt tribute, Kim reflects on their special bond, referring to Voletta as a “second mom.” Lil Kim, known as the Queen Bee, has faced her share of public conflicts, including a famous rivalry with fellow rapper Nicki Minaj. However, her tribute to Voletta serves as a reminder of her deep love for those who have influenced her life and career.

Kim recalls how Biggie discovered her in the early ’90s and brought her into the Bad Boy family, changing her life forever. But it wasn’t just Biggie who made an impression on Kim; Voletta also played an important role as a caring and supportive figure. In her post, Kim shares a fond memory, “I’m smiling to myself because I can hear you saying, ‘MY GOD CHRISTOPHER!! Put that smoke down!!'” These were playful words that Voletta often said to her son. She finds comfort in knowing that Voletta is now reunited with Biggie in heaven, saying, “It makes the sadness a little better knowing that you’re with the other half of your heart.” This shows just how deeply she feels after losing both Biggie and Voletta.

Kim also mentions their special connection over the last ten years, stating that those years were truly remarkable for their relationship. Voletta wasn’t just a mother figure to Kim; she was a “strong Queen” and a “beautiful warrior angel,” someone Kim deeply respects. Through this touching tribute, Lil Kim reveals a different side of herself, filled with love, memories, and gratitude for the powerful women who have guided her along her path. In a competitive industry, the love of family and the memories of those who have shaped her are what truly matter.
