reportedly refused Bridges access to his
daughter, despite him writing her a substantial cheque in the same month his
daughter was born and has since sent
her money above and beyond the court’s
guidelines. In response, Fuller has blamed
Bridges’ award of custody on his celebrity status and the fact that he married
his long-term girlfriend after a very
short engagement in a quickie ceremony
at the end of last year. And when the
artist thought all was done and dusted
with the custody case, in the follow-up
to the birth of Luda’s and his new wife’s
baby daughter, it was reported that Fuller
had got herself a job working 9 to 5 to
support herself and daughter Cai in a bid
to regain custody.
But putting all that aside, Ludacris is best
celebrated for being an award-winning
rap artist, entrepreneur and actor. Following his brief stint as a DJ on a radio
station, Luda released his first album
Incognegro in 1999 which would mark
the beginning of his 16 years to date
music career. It is perhaps his fast, wild
and comedic flow that has kept him at
the top as one of the most successful
rappers in the business. Although his
initial album did poorly in sales, it was
his major label debut, Back for the First
Time which reached #4 on the U.S. Billboard 200 that put him firmly on the map
with break-out tracks ‘Southern Hospitality’ and ‘What’s Your Fantasy’ as well
as his first ever single ‘Phat Rabbit’ from
his collaboration with music producer
Timbaland two years prior. The album
saw guest appearances from 4-Ize, I-20,
Shawnna, Pastor Troy, Trina, Foxy Brown
and UGK. And with such an amazing and
creative stage name, we were eager to
find out how Chris Bridges came up with
the name Ludacris. In an interview on
MTV’s hip hop program Direct Effect the
artist revealed that the name is based on
his split personality which he described as
‘ridiculous’ and ‘ludicrous’. As if to back
this up, the Merriam-Webster dictionary
actually describes the meaning of the
word ‘ludicrous’ as amusing or laughable
through obvious absurdity, incongruity,
exaggeration or eccentricity. So there
we have a sum up of Ludacris’ character
in a nutshell.
Luda’s most successful tracks include
‘Stand Up’ taken from third album, Chicken-n-Beer and the soundtrack of teen hip
hop/dance movie You Got Served; ‘Splash
Waterfalls’, his most sexual single to
date with its steamy video and explicit,
adult-orientated lyrical content; ‘Yeah’
on which he collaborated with Usher
