Lil’ Kim is pregnant and New York-based rapper Mr. Papers is taking the credit, exclusively telling Breaking Celebrity News that he’s the father!

“Yeah, we’re having a baby,” he told Radar. “I’m ready for daddy duty.”

“Kim is doing great. We can’t reveal the sex yet, but that baby is going to be well taken care of…  rocking Tom Ford, Versace -- even the stroller will be designer,” Papers joked.

Photographers got their first glimpse of Kim's baby bump at New York Fashion Week.
