Great news continue for rapper Lil Kim and her boyfriend, Mr. Papers. Last week, the 39-year-old rap artist proclaimed her pregnancy, by debuting her baby bump during New York Fashion Week. Her boyfriend, Mr. Papers (who is also an emerging rapper) later confirmed that he was the father.
On Valentine’s day, Mr. Papers called the Rickey Morning Smiley Show, confirming the great news. He shared that the couple are expecting a boy, but remained tight-lipped about baby names. He said:
Yeah, that’s my baby…I don’t really wanna give that to the world yet, but we gon’ let y’all know soon though. Word. You know what I mean? We ain’t gon’ hold it too long…He gon’ be a Gemini though. You know what I mean? But I don’t really wanna give you all that information.
He also clarified their relationship status, shooting down rumors that he and Kim had broken up. He told radio show hosts,
Nah, we together, brother. Everything good. You know how they like to talk. Ain’t nothing. We together. That’s my wife. That’s my baby.
While speaking with Radar Online, he gushed about how well his future baby mama’s pregnancy was going. He confirmed,
Kim is doing great.
He added:
That baby is going to be well taken care of… rocking Tom Ford, Versace — even the stroller will be designer. That’s my baby… He’ll be taken care of.
Lil Kim has promised her fans that her pregnancy will not stop her career, telling Us Weekly:
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!
This will be Kim’s first child and the second for Papers, who already has a 4-year-old old son.
