She's just nine months old, but Chris Brown's daughter Royalty got the VIP treatment as she visited her father on Monday.
With
the controversial rapper performing in Houston for the night, he fitted
in a private pre-show meeting with his infant and her mother and older
sister.
Royalty
was pictured for the first time being carried by one of Brown's
assistants as the group boarded Brown's tour bus, after earlier being
picked up from a nearby hotel.

daughter is carried onto his tour bus by an assistant before the hip hop
star performed a gig in Houston, Texas on Monday
The big
occasion saw the toddler dressed in yellow pants, a floral sweater and a
mini pair of colourful Nike trainers. Tiny gold studs could be seen in
her ears, while a gold bracelet hung on her wrist.
Her
model mother Nia Amey, 31, showed her post-baby body in a blue and
white floral dress as she carried a baby blanket and a bottle of milk
inside.
With
a sign in the bus' window clearly stating that no shoes were to be
worn, the petite former nursing student had removed her sky high heels,
replacing them with some unflattering pool sliders.
Nia's
13-year-old daughter, whose father filed for divorce after 11 years
upon hearing of the pregnancy, helpfully carried a large bag packed with
baby gear.

While Chris and Nia have been friends for years, both were apparently surprised to discover he had fathered her child.
Indeed
when Nia celebrated her baby shower last year a man named Brazil, who
was then thought to be the father, was among the guests.
However a DNA test later established that Chris was the lucky man, and he is said to have embraced his new role.

Since
learning he fathered a child, the Loyal singer 'calls Nia regularly and
now says he wants to openly participate in raising the baby.'
Nia
and Chris kept his parentage of the child secret at first, with the
25-year-old not even telling his long-term girlfriend Karrueche Tran.
Indeed
she was blindsided by the news - responding to it by publicly dumping
her on/off partner of five years with the words: 'One can only take so
much.'

It can't have helped that Nia was a friend of Karrueche's, with the two once pictured partying with Chris.
After news broke of Royalty's parentage, Brown was said to have furiously accused Nia of leaking stories to the press.
But Nia's tour bus visit makes it appear that any animosity between the pair has been resolved.
