Rapper Lil' Kim is pregnant with her first child.
While attending The Blonds Fashion Week after-party on Wednesday Feb. 12, Kim took the stage where she announced her pregnancy, telling fans, "I'm a mom, but I can turn it up a little!"
During the show, Kim was sporting a sizeable baby bump, which she made no effort to keep under wraps. Instead, she donned a tight dress that accentuated the bump and was seen rubbing her belly throughout the night.
"I'm so excited! I'm a few months along, I can't wait to be a mom!" Kim told Us Weekly on Feb. 13. "I'm still going to work. I'm still going to be hardcore. The baby has made me even more of a beast!"
At the after-party, Kim performed her hit, Lighters Up, but before she did, she made it a point to pay tribute to her former friend, the late Notorious B.I.G.
"It's also going to be Biggie's birthday and the anniversary of his death soon so we [as she points to her belly] love you," she said.
Although Kim has yet to confirm the identity of her child's father, it seems clear that her longtime boyfriend, rapper Mr Papers, is the father.
Following Kim's pregnancy announcement, Mr Papers re-tweeted several messages from fans and friends who congratulated him and Kim on their baby news. One message read, "Congrats to @MR_Papers!!! He gave Kim what she wanted for years. I'm so happy for both of them." Another said, "@MR_Papers congratulations thanks for making are Queen @LilKim the happiest girl in the world!! #TeamBumpLilKim."
Mr Papers also re-tweeted a message from a Lil' Kim fan page which read, "The Prince/Princess sure wont be hurtin in the looks department with 2 phyne ass parents like @lilkim & @MR_Papers."
