However, by 2021, the couple had gotten back together. And in a sentimental post on March 12, 2021, Mr. Papers wrote to Lil Kim in part:
"Everyday Reminds me of how special you are to me @lilkimthequeenbee that's why everyday is Valentine's Day for you baby. You Changed me & my life and I will forever love you & Everything about you (sic)."

In June 2021, Lil Kim celebrated her "hubby" in honor of Father's Day. Early in July 2021, Mr. Papers posted a video of him and Lil Kim posing for the camera and being flirtatious with the caption, "'My Wife' (Youngboy voice)." However, it remains unconfirmed where the couple currently stands, as they have not appeared on each other's social media in months.
Lil Kim and Mr. Papers Share a Daughter
In February 2014, Lil Kim announced that she was expecting her first child during her attendance at a MAC Cosmetics afterparty during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in New York.
Her bundle of joy, Royal Reign, was later born in June at Hackensack University Medical Center in New Jersey, and she came into the world weighing 6 pounds and 5 ounces.
At the time of Royal's birth, her father's identity remained unconfirmed. However, Mr. Papers seemingly let the cat out of the bag that he was Royal's dad after he took to Twitter.
Since the news broke that Mr. Papers is Royal's father, he has often taken to social media to document his love for his daughter. In June 2020, the rapper took to Instagram to celebrate his daughter's birthday and revealed that even though it was her special day, it was the best day of his life.
In September 2021, Mr. Papers sweetly captioned a video of his daughter dancing, " My beautiful baby twin! I love u sooooo much Royal! 😍 everything about u is perfect.. you are gonna be a super star (sic)!" and a few months later, he shared an adorable clip of him and his daughter smothering each other with kisses.
