LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- "Milkshake" singer Kelis welcomed her first child on Wednesday, Access Hollywood has confirmed.

"Kelis gave birth to Knight Jones last night on July 22nd around 9 PM," a rep for Kelis said in a statement released to Access. "Weighing a healthy 7.8lbs, the beautiful baby boy and his mother are doing wonderful."

The singer delivered in a New York City area hospital. Her mother and sister were present in the room during the birth.

    Why are u still repotrting on Kelis as if anyone even cares?. She is so irrelevant that the report of my beautiful baby girl is more newsworthy. Women have children every single day and yet those aren't news?. Kelis is nothing more than a 2 dollar crack whore and NAS is just another father that will fail at being a real dad.

    Wow! Congrats to her. I always wondered why they split. They seemed so happy. Was it because of his ties to free mason, jay-z, his evil side. Guess we'll never know. Confused? You tube truce on stage between he and jay z and the mason handshake. Research it. You'll figure it out.
