Lil' Kim Baby Shower: Rapper Reveals Date And Gender Of First Child

Lil’ Kim is sharing more details about her surprise pregnancy. Over the weekend, the rapper announced the date of her baby shower via Instagram, while also revealing she is having a baby girl.

In February, the 39-year-old surprised fans when she arrived at New York Fashion Week with a baby bump. She is at least three months pregnant, and the father has been revealed to be her on-again, off-again boyfriend, who goes by the name Mr. Papers.

Shortly after showing off her bump, she confirmed her pregnancy to Us Weekly, saying, "I’m so excited! I’m a few months along, I can’t wait to be a mom! I’m still going to work! I’m still going to be hardcore. The baby has made me even more of a beast!”

On Easter Sunday, Lil’ Kim told fans that May 10 would be the date of her baby shower, and posted a photo of an event adorned with ‘Hello Kitty’ and a pink crown.

“Happy Easter everyone !!!! What a perfect day to share this wonderful news with U [sic]. The fab @davidtutera is throwing my royal baby shower for my lil' princess 5/10/14!!! Thank U for the awesome graphic @dustyaceti !!!! Muahhhh!!! #TeamLilKim. Love U all so much !!! Muahhhh !!! [sic]”

This will be Lil’ Kim’s first child, and Mr. Papers’ second. He also has a 4-year-old son.
