Lil Kim’s daughter keeps racking up runway credits, and Royal Reign’s modeling future looks brighter than ever.
Royal Reign hit the runway again on July 30 at the 17th Annual Amazon Kids Back-to-School Runway Show inside Iron23 in New York City. Lil Kim’s 11-year-old daughter joined a lineup of celebrity kids modeling the season’s freshest gear from Nike, Levi’s, Lacoste, Converse and Hurley.
The event, presented by Rookie Kids, pulled in a crowd full of Hip-Hop and reality TV royalty. Ice-T and Coco showed up with their daughter Chanel, DaniLeigh brought her daughter Velour, and Busta Rhymes rounded out the star-studded red carpet. That packed guest list was first detailed in a report from BCK Online covering the runway show’s celebrity lineup.
Royal Reign is no stranger to the spotlight since her mother introduced her to the fashion world years ago. Lil Kim gave birth to Royal Reign, whose full name is Royal Reign Jones Neil, on June 9, 2014. The rapper shares her only child with Jeremy Neil, who performs under the name Mr. Papers and dated Kim on and off for years.

Royal Reign first modeled at the 13th Annual Rookie USA Fashion Show back in 2023 and has kept booking bigger shows since then. She walked Macy’s Rookie Kids Runway during New York Fashion Week last September, turning heads in a purple Jumpman dress and Panda Dunks. The appearance comes as Lil Kim’s own career keeps rolling, highlighted by her headline festival slots secured earlier this year.
Lil’ Kim told Entertainment Tonight’s Nischelle Turner that she would back Royal Reign if her daughter ever wanted a career in music. “I can’t be a hypocrite,” Lil Kim said, adding that she would guide Royal Reign “so she don’t make the same mistakes that I made.” Royal Reign is already a natural performer who Lil Kim says loves showing off her moves for TikTok.
The Amazon Kids back-to-school show marked its 17th year running and drew names like Angela Simmons and Dave East. Royal Reign’s fashion resume keeps growing, and the young star looks every bit as comfortable on stage as her legendary mother.
The July 30 show streamed live on Amazon, putting Royal Reign’s runway walk in front of a real-time audience beyond the room at Iron23.
