Rapper Lil’ Kim has shown off a surprise baby bump at New York Fashion Week. The diminutive hip hop diva who was last linked to boxer Floyd Mayweather let her bump do the talking as she was carried by a burly bodyguard from her car, showing off her new physique at the event in New York.
Her friend Perez Hilton appeared to confirm the news as he posted a picture with the star, and tweeted: ‘‘Me and a very PREGNANT #LilKim at #TheBlonds show. Congrats, boo!!’’
MailOnline have reached out to Kim’s representatives for comment.
It was not long before fans took to Twitter to comment on the pictures, congratulating the star on her happy news.
Kim’s friend Tamar Braxton also confirmed the news, tweeting: ‘‘Awwwww congrats @LilKim on your little one’’.
It is unclear who Kim real name Kimberly Denise Jones is currently in a relationship with.
Recently Kim has been linked to professional boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr, 36, and the pair were said to be still ‘‘dating’’ in September last year.
The 39-year-old rapper claimed to be in love with music producer Scott Storch in 2012 who she collaborated with on her hit single ‘‘Lighters Up’’ and even revealed that she ‘‘would have married him’’.
Kim has been quiet on the music scene of late, although she performed in London in November last year, and released a mix-tape which featured the cover art for 1995 debut album Hard Core.
Her debut album, Hard Core went double platinum following its release and reached number eleven on the US Billboard 200, the highest entry for a female rap album at the time after selling more than 78 000 copies in its first week of release.
Adding to that accolade, Kim then climbed to number one on the Rap Chart with three tracks from the critically acclaimed set, including ‘‘Not Tonight’’ (Ladies Night remix) and ‘‘Crush on You’’.
The rapper next found commercial success reaching number one on the US Billboard Hot 100 with Christina Aguilera, Pink and Mya collaboration Lady Marmalade in 2001, a feat that is yet to be equalled by another female rapper.
The star has previously been critical of the changes to rap in the years following the release of last album “The Naked Truth” in 1995, but she recently admitted during an interview with the Guardian that she can still identify with some of the current crop.
She said: ‘‘I love Rihanna because I see a lot of Rihanna in me and a lot of me in Rihanna. Miley (Cyrus) and I have clicked.’’
‘‘She told me that the two artists she’s ever wanted to collaborate with are me and Dolly Parton’’. – dailymail.
