Rapper Chris “Ludacris” Bridges has just been awarded primary custody of his 1-year-old daughter, Cai Bella Bridges.
The court-ordered decision comes after a bitter custody battles between Ludacris and his baby’s mother, Tamika Fuller.
“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,” Bridges, 37, said in an exclusive statement to PEOPLE.
During the custody hearing, Fuller made damning claims against the rapper, stating that he repeatedly asked her to get an abortion.
According to TMZ, Fuller bitterly testified Luda didn’t want the baby when he found out she was pregnant and even tried to negotiate an abortion by throwing 10K her way.
