Ludacris Shares His Joy About Being A Girl Dad To His Four Daughters

Ludacris on Fatherhood: What Being a Girl Dad to Four Daughters Has Taught Him

Jennifer and Luda then showed the audience videos of Ludacris' youngest daughter practicing her runway walk, and talked about Chance's cute "model walk." Hudson named, “She seems to have a lot of personality,” while the proud dad responded, “Too much personality. I wonder where she gets it."

In a 2023 interview withPEOPLE, Ludacris discussed the challenges of balancing his career with family life, emphasizing the importance of presence and patience. “The important lesson that I've learned from my daughters is being patient, man. I used to be the most impatient person in the world, but these girls have taught me to be more present, and more in the moment, especially at home.”

He also shared his approach to encouraging his daughters to overcome fears, stating, "I think the best part of it is teaching them certain morals and principles and standards, and trying to get them to get over certain fears because you know that's what life is all about."

The Fast X star continued, “If you want to rise to the top — like if I take them rock climbing and I can see that they're scared once they get to a certain point — I'm right up under and saying you can do it and keep going, seeing them get over the hump. And they're understanding that there's triumph on the other side of fear. I think that's the greatest part.”

Meet Ludacris’ Four Daughters

Balancing a demanding career with family life, Ludacris ensures that his daughters remain a priority. He often brings them along during extended periods away from home, inspired by colleagues like Vin Diesel, who emphasizes family time. Ludacris stated, "If I’m going to be gone too long, I just bring them to me."

His dedication to fatherhood and his daughters' development is evident in his active involvement in their lives and his efforts to instill values of individuality, courage, and self-confidence.

Here’s what we know about his four beautiful girls:

Luda said, "Her achievements inspire her younger siblings to aim high."

This eldest daughter inspired the Netflix animated series Karma's World, which addresses topics such as self-esteem, discrimination, and body positivity. Ludacris expressed his pride in the project, stating, “I love it because I know I work so hard on it, and I’m just glad that people around the world have accepted it, and it’s starting to change people’s lives for the better.”

In an interview with Shoutout Atlanta, Karma shared, “I like to say my superpower is my ability to listen to diverse voices and tell authentic stories that need to be heard. My dream is to work as a film producer on feature-length films to showcase unique stories and bring new voices to the screen.”

Cai Bella Bridges (11)

Cai Bella was born on December 12, 2013, to Ludacris and Tamika Fuller. When she was 13 months old, Ludacris and Fuller went to court, and Ludacris was granted full custody of Cai in January 2015. Ludacris has described Cai’s personality as unique, highlighting how each of his daughters has distinct traits that make fatherhood exciting.

Cai and her younger sister Cadence, who is two years younger, have a close relationship. Cai also has a close relationship with both her dad and stepmother Eudoxie, who frequently post pictures of her on social media.
