Rapper Lil Kim is pregnant with her first child. The 39-year-old rapper debuted her baby bump at New York Fashion Week on Wednesday, Feb. 12. While getting ready to perform her hit song "Lighters Up" at an after-party, she told the audience that she was excited to share her baby news with them.
"I'm a mom, but I can turn it up a little!" she announced rubbing her belly.
She also confirmed the news to US Weekly.
"I'm so excited! I'm a few months along, I can't wait to be a mom!" she told the magazine. "I'm still going to work. I'm still going to be hardcore. The baby has made me even more of a beast!"
Lil Kim has decided to keep the identity of the baby's father a secret but there are rumors that the mystery man could be boxer Floyd Mayweather. The two were rumored to be dating last year after they were spotted out in a public a few times.
Neither one confirmed or denied the dating rumors but on the rapper's birthday in July, Mayweather Instagrammed a picture of Swarovski crystal-studded Christian Louboutin heels he had bought for her.
Lil Kim has also been linked to music producer Scott Storch. The two reportedly dated in 2005 but the relationship wasn't confirmed until 2010. According to International Business Times, Storch talked about his romance with Lil Kim in an interview last year saying that he would have married her.
"If she'd of married me, I probably would have married her, too. She's a sweetheart. That's my little baby, but she's to this day a good friend and she's family and I'll never turn my back on her," he said.
Most of the rapper's fans were shocked to hear that she was expecting a baby but were quick to offer up their congratulations.
"Awww congrats @LilKim on your little one," R&B singer Tamar Braxton wrote.
