Lil’ Kim has taken her daughter, Royal Reign, on the red carpet with her several times and she made her red debut when she was a toddler at the 2016 VH1 Hip Hop Honors. But it has been awhile since fans have seen the rapper’s preteen, and they looked so cute together on the red carpet of the Amazon Kids Back-To-School Runway Show by Rookie Kids at Iron 23 on Thursday, July 30.

Royal Reign is Lil Kim’s only child, whom she shares with her former partner Mr. Papers, whose real name is Jeremy Neil. The musician has discussed motherhood, telling Access Hollywood, “I’m still the same person, but you have to be different.
