Ludacris Net Worth, Songs, Baby & Former Girlfriend Tamika Fuller: 'Get Back' Rapper Court Document Says He's Sick of Being Called a "Deadbeat Dad"
According to rumors, rapper Ludacris is sick of having his baby mama dirty laundry airing in public.
Ludacris is currently in a custody battle with Tamika Fuller, the mother of his 2-month-old daughter Cai. Now the rapper, whose real name is Christopher Bridges, is reportedly asking the court to seal his case. Radar Online reportedly acquired "exclusive court documents" where the Get Back rapper says the case has caused him to be "publicly humiliated."
In the alleged documents, Ludacris states his intentions to be a parent to Cai alongside Fuller but asserts that Fuller has never allowed him to see Cai with his family. The documents also say that media has misrepresented his case, thus creating a bad image for his daughter and career. Ludacris claims, for example, that he paid almost $3,500 in child support before Cai was even 2-weeks-old.
"I have already offered on several occasions to pay some portion of the Respondent's attorney fees since September, 2013," the document says.
In February, gossip sites like TMZ reported that Ludacris blamed the death of Fast and Furious 7 co-star Paul Walker for his lack of money and said he only made $55,000 last year. The site also reported that Fuller asked a judge for $15,000 a month in custody support, Ludacris wanted to pay $1,800 and was ordered to pay $7,000.
"...everyday 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," the document continues. "...In addition to damaging my names, reputation, character, goodwill, and brand, the news articles misinterpret the documents in the court files ... I would hate for our daughter to ever see the blogs that have nothing good to say about either of her parents."
Ludacris is reported to be worth over $75 million on Celebrity Net Worth, and was No. 12 on Forbes' Cash Kings 2013: The World's 20 Highest-Paid Hip-Hop Artists list. According to Forbes, the Fast & Furious 6 star made $12 million last year.
Ludacris will release his latest album Ludaversal, this year.
