QUEEN BEE ANNOUNCES BABY BEE

The always-exuberant and extravagant Lil' Kim with her passion for flamboyant, revealing clothing, and her penchant for plastic surgery, wasn't seen as potential mom material.

Then in 2013, Lil' Kim announced that she was pregnant. The rapper revealed that the father of her child was her then-boyfriend, Mr. Papers.

CUSTODY BATTLE

“Hello guys! I really, really really love my mom’s album and make sure you keep streaming it and doing good things for it and everything. Bye! And make it #1! Keep streaming!”

NO SLOWING DOWN

"I'm still going to work. I'm still going to be hardcore. The baby has made me even more of a beast!"

There can, in fact, be no slowing down for Lil' Kim, who was forced to declare bankruptcy when her debt reached a massive $4 million, of which $1.8 million are back taxes. Fortunately, Lil' Kim was able to renegotiate her loans and save her home from foreclosure.

But Lil' Kim has proved to be a devoted mother and even her formerly estranged ex, Mr. Papers admitted as much in a 2016 heartfelt mother's day post on Instagram:

"Happy Mother's Day to a beautiful Queen ??? even tho we not seeing eye to ?.... You still did and are doing a great job wit my ROYAL [sic]"

“I don’t know where it comes from. Even my daughter, she does things where I’m like, Where is she getting this from? I think it’s like naturally in our family.”

BEING ROYAL'S MOM

Lil' Kim admitted in an interview that becoming a mother has changed her life substantially. The celebrity rapper and Grammy Award winner is now known as "Royal's mom."

Royal, Lil' Kim revealed, is now becoming aware that her mother is famous, and even posted an announcement on Instagram to that effect. Lil' Kim is always posting snaps on Instagram of her gorgeous daughter, who is now the focus of her life.
