Ladies and gents, the next in line of hip-hop royalty is here.  Today, Kim Kardashian gave birth to a baby girl at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in West Hollywood, CA as confirmed by US Weekly.  The proud father, Kanye West, was present for the birth, as he was reportedly missing from the listening party of his album Yeezus, due next week, the night before.  News began to flood online that Kim was in labor by various bloggers.

After years of knowing each other, the two finally began dating officially in the spring of last year, and it was on December 31 that Kim announced they were expecting.  The reality star is five weeks early from her due date of July 11, and is the first child for the both of them.  It’s certainly a major Father’s Day gift for West, and is a great time period for the artist as his controversial Yeezus is all anyone can discuss in hip-hop right now.

Hopefully, baby pics will be released soon.  A source spoke to US Weekly and said that, “They’re all doing great and amazing!”

Congrats Kim and Kanye!
