A month after the passing of Voletta Wallace, the mother of The Notorious B.I.G., Lil Kim took to social media to pay tribute to her. Taking to Instagram on Sunday (Mar. 16), she shared several text message conversations she had with Wallace who she affectionately called “mommy.”
In the post, Kim shared that she and Ms. Wallace repaired their relationship after Biggie’s death with the help of “God’s work.”
“We spent the last 9-10 years strengthening our relationship…But the last 4-5 years were really special because we started to talk, at least once a month,” Kim wrote. “Then eventually, once a week, then 2-3 times a week. U would send me beautiful photos of yourself and an update of ur garden which had become your life. The flowers and crop u planted would come along nicely except sometimes those damn peonies.”
“Everyone who was close to u called u Meema but I called u mommy like a second mom,” the post continued. “Which is why the 11th photo is very special to me because that was the day u showed me ur phone and u said “look what I have u saved as,“ I said, “What?” U said, “Daughter “ I smiled so big it warmed my heart and u began to call me daughter all the time after that.”
“Our conversations got more intense, u kept saying we needed to spend time in person. U wanted me to come to the house, I couldn’t wait to do that, especially since it’s been a while since I’ve been there. I had plans to come around Christmas but u were going to Jamaica to see your mom, so I said I will come when U got back after the new year sometime.”
Held on March 12, 2025, at the Frank E. Campbell Funeral Chapel in New York City, Wallace’s memorial service was attended by Kim, Ma$e, Faith Evans, and Voletta’s grandchildren, Christopher and T’yanna.
Also, Gloria Carter, mother of JAY-Z, Christian “King” Combs, son of Diddy were in attendance to pay their respects.
