“It’s like Biggie came through as, like, a former lover, no different than any former lover would,” he said. “But he came through very strongly and acknowledging that he wanted her to know that they were soulmates and how much he loved her. And he acknowledged their relationship and how it kind of…how their last interaction was. He discussed some of the dynamics behind that and gave her a lot of closure and healing because, she didn’t obviously, because of the nature of his passing.”
Hunter said Kim wasn’t emotional but was left amazed that Biggie was aware of her plans to release music with the two on the track. “It’s amazing because right now I’m working on music for him,” she said in the preview above. “It’s a beautiful connection and it’s all for the love of him.”

“I really feel like she needed to hear these messages and really get that validation,” he said. “I think she knew her relationship with Biggie, but to get it validated, and to really have that — have more elaborated on about some of these experiences they had together, really helped her, kind of, revisit that relationship and move forward as she continues new ones.”
