Ludacris' custody battle over his daughter has come to an end.
The 37-year-old rapper, whose real name Chris Bridges, won a custody battle against his ex-girlfriend Tamika Fuller on Monday and has been award primary custody of the pair's 13-month-old daughter Cai, reported People Magazine..
"After review of all the evidence, the testimony of the witnesses, the report of the guardian ad litem, and the claims made throughout this entire case, I am gratified that the judge found me to be the most fit and proper parent to have primary physical custody of our beautiful daughter," the rapper told People in a statement.
According to TMZ, during the litigation Fuller asked for an increase in child support and also testified that the rapper and actor didn't want the baby and offered her "$900 and some change" to have an abortion.
Fuller also claimed that Ludacris' decision to marry longtime girlfriend Eudoxie Mbouguiengue just before the New Year was a ploy to demonstrate to the court that he is the better parent. The pair tied the knot, allegedly, on the same day Ludacris proposed.
Ludacris said Fuller's claims were damaging to his reputation, but also empathized why he could provide a better home environment for his daughter.
"Because the media is able to read and misinterpret the documents in the Court's file in this case, every day since January 1, 2014, I have been publicly humiliated and called a deadbeat dad who does not want to see or support his minor child. Nothing could be further from the truth," Bridges said, according to BET. "I would hate for our daughter to ever see the blogs that have nothing good to say about either of her parents."
Ludacris first asked the court for full physical custody of their child last February. According to court documents, the rapper said he was the more "fit and capable parent" and also mentioned his role as "an active father" to his 12-year-old daughter Karma, from a previous relationship.
