Congrats are in order for Ludacris & Eudoxie, who have welcomed their new baby girl — Cadence Gaëlle — to the world.
Ludacris Ordered To Pay Over $35,000 To (Break) Baby Mama

Ludacris has been embroiled in a nasty child custody battle and in new legal documents exclusive obtained by RadarOnline.com, the Georgia judge sided with the rapper’s baby mama and he’s been ordered to pay her legal bill.
In the documents filed on March 20, Ludacris’ baby mama, Tamika Fuller, is named guardian of their 4-month-old daughter, Cai Bella, “for the purpose of representing the best interest of the child” and Chris Bridges’ (Ludacris’ real name) attempt to have her held in contempt of court was shot down.
“The Petitioner shall pay the Guardian ad Litem’s initial retainer of $7,500.00, to be replenished to the full amount when depleted to $1,500.00,” the documents read.
“The Guardian ad Litem shall be billed at a rate of $325.00 per hour. The retainer shall be paid directly to the Guardian ad Litem within 14 days of the entry of this order.”
On March 18, both Ludacris and Fuller testified in front of a Georgia judge where Fuller pled with the Superior Court of Fulton County for her attorney fees to be paid by the “Southern Hospitality” singer.
“Petitioner shall pay to Respondent’s counsel, Thirty Five Thousand Dollars ($35,000.00), in addition to any amounts previously awarded or paid, as an award of temporary attorney’s fees and expenses of litigation,” the March 20 ruling reads.
“Said amount shall be paid to Respondent’s counsel within 10 days of the date of this order.”
And because Ludacris’ motion to have Fuller found in contempt was denied, he was knocked an extra $2,000 in fees for that too.
Cai is Luda’s second child; he has a 12-year-old daughter named Karma from a previous relationship.
Ludacris Wants Full Custody Of Break Baby AND Child Support From Baby Mama

If you recall, we have been reporting on Ludacris, who now has a newborn daughter that he bore outside of his relationship with Eudoxie. We’ve also found out just how much of a shark his lawyer is in family court. From TMZ:
Rapper Ludacris wants to do something so shocking, it will send shock waves through the rap community — he’s fighting for CUSTODY of his kid.
Luda and baby mama Tamika Fuller are duking it out in an Atlanta court over custody and child support. They had a baby girl 2 months ago and Tamika’s been taking care of the kid.
The rapper now says in legal docs he’s a “fit and capable parent” and should get full physical custody. He offers up his parental resume, saying he’s always been “an active father” to his 12-year-old girl.
Now the plot thickens.
Luda has also asked the judge to force Tamika to pay HIM child support. That’s interesting, because Tamika was asking for $15K a month in child support and Ludacris pleaded poverty, saying Paul Walker’s death derailed “Fast & Furious 7” and his cash flow dried up. The judge awarded her $7K a month.
So the question … does Luda really want custody, or is this a way to turn the financial tables?
PICS: Ludacris’ New Baby Mama Revealed
Black male celebs knocking up their side chicks is a growing fad now, and Luda is the latest to join in on the fun. Above — the woman, Tamika Fuller, whom he impregnated in question.
Various news reports are stating that Tamika is a 40-year-old ex-stripper who has been putting him through an elephant’s shitload regarding the pregnancy.
Serious step down from Eudoxie, bruh.
Ludacris Girlfriend Is Moving Forward With Marriage Despite Baby By Another Woman
From TMZ:
Ludacris’ longtime GF Eudoxie is turning a blind eye to her BF’s infidelities that produced a kid … because she’s still determined to marry him.
Sources close to the couple tell TMZ, Eudoxie forgives Luda for impregnating baby mama Tamika Fuller. Luda claims they were on a break when he hooked up with Tamika. Sound familiar, Dwyane?
We’re told Eudoxie — who’s been dating Luda since 2009 — is emotionally hurt, but she too is taking the position they weren’t a couple at the time of conception … even though their Instagram suggests otherwise.
As for Ludacris’ impending child support battle with Tamika, we’re told Eudoxie will make sure the rapper supports the kid like a responsible father.
In related news, the new baby mama in question has also responded (in-court) to Ludacris’ recently submitted legal documents requesting limits on child support.
