Lil' Kim is the mother of a baby girl! The rapper gave birth to her first child, daughter Royal Reign, at the Hackensack University Medical Center in New Jersey on Monday, a source confirmed to ET [1]. Baby Royal's father is reportedly NYC-based rapper Mr. Papers, though Kim has yet to confirm it publicly. Kim announced her pregnancy back in February, when she debuted her baby bump at The Blonds' runway show [2] during New York Fashion Week. She took the stage to perform during the postshow party and told the crowd, "I'm a mom, but I can turn it up a little," adding that she was "still going to be hard-core" and that "the baby has made me even more of a beast." Lil' Kim is just one of many celebs to welcome new babies over the past few months; see her fellow famous first-time moms [3], plus all the pregnant stars [4] that are still waiting on their bundles of joy!
