Kelis welcomed her first child on Wednesday.
The singer, who split from rapper Nas three months ago, gave birth at a New York hospital with her mum and sister by her side.
‘Kelis gave birth to Knight Jones on July 22nd around 9pm,’ a rep tells Access Hollywood. ‘Weighing a healthy 7.8lbs, the beautiful baby boy and his mother are doing wonderful.’
Kelis, 29, and Nas, 35, tied the knot in January 2005 after a two-year engagement.
Nas already has a 15-year-old daughter from a previous relationship.
