Lil' Kim welcomes baby girl Royal Reign

Lil' Kim is officially a proud mother.

The "Magic Stick" rapper, 39, gave birth to a baby girl -- Royal Reign -- at 9:58 a.m. Monday, June 9, 2014, at Hackensack University Medical Center in New Jersey, a source confirms to ET.

Weighing in at 6 pounds, 5 ounces, and measuring 19.5 inches long, Royal Reign is Lil' Kim's first child.

The baby's father is reportedly New York-based rapper Mr. Papers, though she has yet to confirm it publicly.

Lil' Kim announced she was expecting her first child in February, when she showed up to MAC Cosmetics and The Blonds Fashion Week after-party in New York City and surprised fans by sporting an unmistakable baby bump.
