The 40-year-old beamed with pride as she walked the red carpet with her darling daughter, Royal Reign, two.

Her mini-me bub rocked a sparkling gold jacket and a bandanna while Lil’ Kim turned heads in a figure-hugging black dress and an intricate pearl necklace.

Later in the evening the star, real name Kimberly Denise Jones, was honoured with an accolade for her efforts in the hip hop and fashion industries and she wasted no time in giving a shout out to Royal Reign, whose father is rapper Mr. Papers, in her acceptance speech.

“My beautiful baby, Royal Reign, is in the building! Hi,” the Lighters Up hitmaker said on stage.

Lil’ Kim gave Royal Reign a special shout-out during her acceptance speech.

Meanwhile Lil’ Kim has previously said becoming a mother has changed her for the best.

“I think that motherhood has made me a better person, a better artist. I guess motherhood has made me not give a f—. You just don’t care,” the Grammy award-winner told Revolt TV in an interview.

“Everything that I do is for her. Everything now! Everything I do, I just think about her and it’s an amazing feeling. I never thought that one person could consume my mind and my brain all the time. When I’m making my music now, I have more to rap about,” she added.

The rapper turned heads in a plunging black dress.

Earlier in the year, the New York native sparked a fresh deluge of plastic surgery speculation when she uploaded a slew of selfies to Instagram.

Fans alleged that she may have had skin bleaching and a nose job but she remained tight-lipped over the claims.
