Playboy founder, publishing giant and cultural icon Hugh Hefner has passed away at 91. According to the New York Times, he went peacefully at his home, the infamous Playboy Mansion in Los Angeles on Wednesday (September 27).
His death was announced by Playboy Enterprises.
After leaving his job as a copy editor at Esquire in 1952, the Chicago native took out a $600 bank loan, borrowed $1,000 from his mother and raised an additional $7,000 to launch Playboy Magazine. The first issued was published in 1953 when Hefner was 27-years-old. Circulation of the publication reached one million by 1960 and peaked at around seven million in the ’70s.
The rest is history.
Hef, as he was commonly referred to, became synonymous with the Playboy brand. He was renowned for his infamous parties at the Playboy Mansion and consistently mingled with the entertainment world’s biggest celebrities.
Social media erupted with tributes and countless Hip Hop artists took to Twitter to send their condolences, including Questlove, Juicy J, Cypress Hill’s B-Real, iLoveMakonnen, Blockhead and TM88.
ILoveMakonnen we side eyeing you.
Dude was dating teenagers and we didn’t care, fuck him.
Nah bruh, I seen more than a handful of chicks on Howard Stern back in the day say they ran away from home to live at the mansion or lied about their age to do photo spreads. Most of em were 16-17 when they did such, just like the underage bitch that lies about hr age to dance at a strip club. If you think this old fuck didn’t knock a few underage wags, you’re fucking sick in the head. Fuck R. Kelly Sr. aka White R.Kelly. He’s lucky technology predated his sick ways
How come he was never convicted of making child porn then? or sex with a minor? You’re spouting pure here say bullshit with no evidence. And referencing some thirsty thot on fucking Howard Stern??…..LMAOOO. Just another hater lol.
Shut the fuck up and go suck on mamas tity you dry snitchin ass fake fuck boy i know people you pretend to be and wanna know what they NEVER do? Talk about there dirt so go back to what ya do know suckin your boyfriend dry
Show us some hard proof or evidence or stfu you fucking weirdo. Jealous because you live a shitty existence…….so sad.
Anyone can make accusations against anyone fucktard. Where’s the fuckin proof? Why didn’t these girls bring him to court?……….derrrrp.
Will hip hop mourn R Kelly’s death the same way?

Rest In Pussy
For real, I see the beta cucks got here early lmao
legal Pimpimg at its finest, minorities doing football numbers for what this guy did.
Just because you’re crusty ass mom was too fat and ugly to be in this legend’s magazine, doesn’t mean you have to hate. She went to work at Wendy’s, like bitches of her caliber do.
Wendy’s easily has the best Chicken Filet. Plus there fountain pop is legit as fuck. What like 130 possible combinations? Dont give a fuck about no diabetes or high blood sugar I’ll fuck that shit up. That’s what hospitals are for.
yo potato head ass prolly got a shrine in your basement dedicated to Hugh Hefner, you jack off to a poster of him every morning you wake up
My grandfather had a 50 year subscription. I take comfort in the fact that my family’s financial contributions helped sanitize the grotto at least twice.
Actually, in the early 50’s when his magazine started, it was a big battle for Free Speech and our Constitutional freedoms. I think that’s pretty relevant in today’s society.
RIP….one of the biggest Pimps to ever do it!
Hip Hop mourns a famous pussy grabber who ran a brothel out of his house.
y’all must be out of your minds this guy was a disgusting human being who lived a life of immoral undignified and sinful life I am not here to judge him because he is in the grave now and God the almighty will make the decision on what he will face in the grave and in the hereafter where God will judge all humanity for their sins and short-comings which they have earned and accumulated into their own account’s so he lived for 91 years of undignified immodest shameful and sinful life but now it’s between him and God and what he get’s in the grave and in the hereafter
You sound afraid.
You have to be afraid but hope for a good ending in your life then a bad and sinful ending to your life I’d rather have an honourable ending to my life then a bad and sinful ending to my life
I have a question for you. How has he committed theft?
Reply to Da Truth Read my message very carefully I didn’t say he has committed a theft If you have carefully read my message all I am saying is that he has lived undignified shameful and sinful life and I am not here to judge him who is dead and in his grave or anyone else because I ain’t nor do anyone else who has committed injustice amongst themselves and transgression against God so God will be the one who will judge him in the hereafter for what he have sent forth into his own accounts all of his creation on the day of judgement
