R&B singer Kelis has made an emotional tribute to her new baby son, Knight - calling the tot "kinda perfect".
The Milkshake hitmaker welcomed her first child with estranged husband Nas this week after a three day labour in a New York hospital.
Kelis admits the birth was the most painful experience of her life, but she is delighted with her beautiful baby son.
Writing on her Twitter.com internet page, she states, "OK, so I did it, he's 7.8 pounds of the greatest stuff on earth. I was in labour for three of the longest, most painful days of my life. I don't understand when women say they don't remember giving birth. I will remember for the rest of my life. He's kinda (sic) perfect."
Kelis has been accused of banning her former partner from the birth, amid reports the rapper was drunk on champagne following a concert, the hip-hop supercouple split earlier this year and is currently in the middle of divorce proceedings.
The new mum has won a whopping $55,000 (£36,665)-a-week in spousal and child support from estranged husband NAS after a judge ruled in her favour in their ongoing divorce battle.
Rapper Nas only wanted to pay $5,000 (£3,330) a month in child support for their newborn son Knight, while his budget for spousal support was not released.
Kelis - who filed for divorce in April - argued she needed $3,500 (£2,335) for a baby nurse and an additional $20,000 (£13,335) for strollers, cribs and other baby supplies.
But the Milkshake singer, who gave birth in New York on Tuesday, will now have cash to spare after a U.S. judge ordered Nas to hand over the more substantial sum during a hearing on Thursday.
He will also have to cover additional costs of prenatal expenses and medical insurance and pay $35,000 (£23,330) in legal fees to Kelis' lawyer Laura Wasser.
The former hip-hop supercouple was originally due in court on Tuesday, but they were excused from the hearing after Kelis went into labour.
