Rapper and actor Chris Bridges, aka Ludacris, won sole custody of his 13-month-old daughter Cai Bella Bridges after a heated legal battle with the child's mother, Tamika Fuller.

Entertainment Tonight reports  Ludacris had been entangled in a lengthy court battle with Fuller over child support and custody. Fuller said the rapper's marriage to longtime girlfriend Eudoxie Mbouguiengue during the holidays was a cheap trick to gain custody.

During the court hearing, Fuller dropped a bombshell by saying Ludacris bribed her to get an abortion. According to Fuller's testimony, she told him about the pregnancy the same day she learned of it, and Ludacris cried.

"It wasn't that he wasn't happy because he did say, 'This wasn't something that we planned. Let's move forward and get an abortion. We're not going to have a family. The baby is not going to be with the mother and the father in the same house. This is all bad.'... [He said] it would ruin his life. It's going to ruin his career," she said.

Fuller alleged the "All I Do Is Win" singer offered her $10,000 and a house if she got an abortion.

"He never changed his mind. He did not. He did [attempt to get me to have an abortion]. He gave me the money for an abortion, actually. It was $900 and some change. ... We were having a conversation and he was like, 'I can take you back to the house. I got 10 grand. I can help you out. I'm going to work it out. I can help you out with whatever it is you need. I can help you with a house. We're going to work together,'" she said.

Ludacris claimed Fuller tried to damage his reputation with her testimony.

The court awarded the rapper sole custody of his daughter after he showed he could provide a better living environment.

Following the court's decision, Ludacris released a statement.

"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," he said.

Ludacris posted a meme on Instagram that appears to be a jab at Fuller.
