It's just like Kim to announce a pregnancy when she's so far along, and also not to mention who the baby's father is. After she premiered her baby bump at the New York Fashion Week on Wednesday, the press began speculating about the father's identity.

So far, the best guess was a not-so-famous rapper known as Mr. Papers, with whom Kim was previously involved a couple of years ago. Mr. Papers himself confirmed the news, by tweeting that he was the father.

But now, more and more sources claim that famous boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr. is actually the baby's daddy. Him and Lil' Kim are “BFFs” according to Kim and she's been seeing him occasionally for years, flying out to Vegas to meet him whenever she could.

The trouble is that she's also been seeing Mr. Papers on the side, and he's got the photos to prove it, posted on his Twitter and Instagram. Between the two men, at the moment, either of them could be the father.

Kim and Floyd were inseparable last year in autumn, when he defended his title against Mexican Saul Alvarez and even celebrated together afterwards, despite the fact that Floyd is engaged to model Shantel Jackson.

NY Daily News claims that Kim is about four and a half months into her pregnancy, which gives credibility to the Mayweather possibility.

The actual reason with Kim keeping silent about the identity of the father is that she has big plans to make the announcement on her upcoming reality show. There are plans to start the show in May, and the promise of revealing such a secret could boost ratings considerably.

Meanwhile, Mr. Papers is visibly upset at all these rumors. This pregnancy has taken him out of semi-anonymity into the limelight literally overnight. He's been tweeting like crazy back and forth and tried to play this thing as big as he could.

Now he claims that he has plans to marry Lil' Kim and that he doesn't understand where all these Mayweather rumors are coming from.
