Are you a fan of the Fast and Furious actor Ludacris, or just someone who is genuinely concerned to know about his relationships and children since he mostly keeps it private? Then this article is the right place for you to collect your answers. However, we are not going to discuss every one of his children but the one whose custody has brought him a lot of chaos and made headlines.
The 45 years old American actor, Ludacris whose birth name is Christopher Brian Bridges, was born on 11 September 1977 in Champaign, Illinois, United States. Apart from being an actor, he is also a songwriter, record executive, and rapper. When he was 9 years old, he moved to Atlanta, located in Georgia, and started to rap. He started out as a DJ for a brief stint.
He eventually formed his own label, “Disturbing the Peace,” in the 1990s and released his first studio album in 1999 titled Incognegro. The same album was re-released and rewrapped for “Back for the First Time,” his main label debut once he signed the contract with Def Jam Recordings. Following this he released many award-winning albums and created a reputed name for himself in his career.

Ludacris’s Baby Momma: Revealed.
The rapper has four daughters Karma Bridge born in August 2001; Cai Bella Bridges, born in December 2013; Cadence Gaelle Bridges, born in June 2015; and Chane Oyali Bridges, born in July 2021. His first two daughters, Cadence and Chance, are from Eudoxie Mbouguiengue, his current life, while his other two elder children are from his relationships in the past. To be precise, Christine White, an attorney based in Atlanta, is the mother of Karma, and Tamika Fuller, a former friend, is the mother of Cai Bella.
However, as mentioned above, we are here to discuss the child whose custody was a literal war among the parents to win. The reason I described the custody as war is because of the longevity; this battle lasted for more than a year. But the result was in favor of the Fast and Furious actor as he won custody over his second daughter Cai.
This left Tamika Fuller, the baby’s mother, in frustration and devastation. Fuller shared an emotional essay that detailed her agony and how she was mistreated during, before, and after the custody case was closed. She and Ludacris were friends as they went to the same high school. This is where Tamika got pregnant with her very first child, Leah, whose father is unknown. This was also used against her in court, as Ludacris’s lawyers claimed that Tamika had abandoned her first child when the child was born and that she was not fit to be a mother.
When the rapper got Tamika pregnant, it was a huge mistake on his side as he was in a relationship with Eudoxie for four years at that time, who is his now-wife. Tamika, in her essay, continued explaining her side of the story as she said when she and Ludacris got into a sexual relationship, Ludacris had said that he was single.
After finding out about Tamika’s pregnancy, Ludacris asked her to abort the baby, and Tamika had herself considered terminating the pregnancy but she changed her mind after listening to the heartbeat of her baby through ultrasound and decided to go against what Ludacris had asked her. This is the main reason she was heartbroken that the custody of the child Ludacris never wanted to be born had fallen into his very hands in the end.
Shortly after the child’s birth Ludacris and Tamika’s names took over the news headlines as they began to battle for the custody of their child. The rapper was not ready to pay higher child support than what he had would be reasonable. But Tamika thought Ludacris was failing to do his duties as the child’s father and attempted to increase the child support payments from the rapper.
Tamika also claimed that Ludacris’s marriage to Eudoxie, his long-time girlfriend was just a cheap effort to gain the custody of Cal, their then- one-year-old daughter. During the holidays, Ludacris proposed to Eudoxie and tied the knot with her on the same day, which makes Tamika’s suspicion reasonable.
