Lil Kim had her baby shower this weekend at the Broad Street Ballroom in New York City. The lavish, ornately decorated and extravagant affair was designed by TV host David Tutera and filmed for his WETV show “CELEBrations” which will premiere this summer on August 1 at 9pm.

Perhaps it was a Games of Thrones/Royal Baby Shower theme as medieval court buglers dressed the part and announced the Queen Bee’s arrival in a detailed jeweled gold bump hugging evening dress.

The color theme was variations of royal purple and gold.

Before the event, Kim picked up the baby shower cake.

Some of the celeb guests attending the event included several reality TV show vets of yesteryear including Hip Hop rap pioneer Sandra “Pepa” Denton from the 90s female rap group Salt n Pepa and theVH1 show Let’s Talk About Pep and The Surreal Life and Tiffany “New York” Pollard from the VH1 shows I Love New York and Flava of Love.

Of course her child’s father “Mr. Papers” was in attendance at the co-ed event, as well baby’s god dad Fred the Godson and rapper Juelz Santana, Single Ladies actress Lisa Raye, Love and Hip Hop New York’s Kimbella Vanderhee.

Her fans and some guests to the red-carpet affair shared some early pics and videos of the event and arrivals on their respective social media accounts.

Veteran hip hop recording artist Lil Kim recently confirmed her pregnancy during a New York City performance after photos of her bump Wednesday, February 12 at The Blonds’ New York City fashion week runway show took Twitter by storm.

At a M.A.C. cosmetics-hosted after party for that show at the Gilded Lily, Kim confirmed the news on stage announcing to the crowd while rubbing her belly “I’m a mom, but I can turn it up a little!”

She later told US Weekly “I’m still going to work,”adding, “I’m still going to be hardcore. The baby has made me even more of a beast!”

The Magic Stick singer who has had on-again-off-again beefs with successor Nicki Minaj, also revealed that she is only a few months along though many people had speculated that she may be in her later stages of pregnancy. Every woman advances differently as we know.

Blogger Necole Bitchie reminds us that on an episode of VH1‘s Driven, Kim confessed that she was once pregnant with the late rapper Biggie Smalls (a.k.a. Notorious B.I.G.‘s) baby but miscarried. She mentioned him in the above performance and said “we” all miss him pointing to herself and her belly when telling the audience to remember the anniversary of his violent shooting death was coming up again.

Even though she told US Weekly that she had no plans to reveal the baby’s father, he reportedly stepped up and outed himself.

Twenty-something rapper Mr. Papers, her boyfriend, who was linked to her back in 2012 but was recently reported as having broken up, has come forward on social media.

After Kim’s announcement, he tweeted “Congratz on the royal baby!” and said thank you to a person who congratulated him on the baby news.

Congrats on the impending arrival. Babies are blessings!
