Chris Brown's nine-month-old daughter is called Royalty and he is said to be keen to ''openly participate'' in raising her.

According to TMZ, the 25-year-old star reportedly wants to "openly participate" in raising his nine-month-old child, who he is said to have with 31-year-old Nia Amey, but it is not known whether he had any say in naming the little one.

A source told the gossip website that the Yeah 3x hitmaker is planning to fly to Nia and Royalty's home in Texas to "regularly" look after her.

Brown's on/off girlfriend Karrueche Tran appeared to confirm the claims he has fathered a child with Nia - who he is said to have hooked up with in 2013 while he and Tran were on a break - when she took to Twitter to reveal she has split from him for good because she doesn't want any "baby drama".

She wrote: "Listen. One can only take so much. The best of luck to Chris and his family. No baby drama for me.(sic)"

While Brown is said to be "happy" about being a father, Tran was said to be "blindsided" by the claims and stopped answering his calls.

The Loyal singer is yet to comment on the claims.
