Plan B Reveals He Welcomed First Child Last Year

Plan B has revealed that he has become a father for the first time.

During an interview with The Sun on Sunday, the She Said hitmaker admitted that his long-term girlfriend gave birth to a baby girl last year.

The rapper - real name Ben Drew - told the tabloid: "My girlfriend and I had a baby girl last year.

"Mother and daughter are both fit and well and I'm a proud and happy father - especially after having just enjoyed our first Christmas together."

Drew went on to confess that the pregnancy was a "surprise" but that he is embracing his new role as a parent.

The iLL Manors star, who is notoriously private when it comes to his personal life, is yet to reveal the identity of his partner, and his daughter's name is also not known. 

Plan B - who is currently working on his third studio LP - added that being a dad hasn't made him "soft" when it comes to his music, and is said to have told pals his next album will still be "no-holds-barred".

A source told The Mirror: "He has been playing [his daughter] some of his tracks to see if she likes them. His songs are known for being pretty gritty so he's been playing her the music without any lyrics.

"But he's joked with friends that becoming a dad hasn't turned his music soft and he's definitely planning another no-holds-barred record.

"2014 is going to be another big year for him - he's very content and can't wait for everyone to hear his new material."
