Ludacris: Daughter Karma's My 'Road Dog'

Eric Charbonneau/Wireimage

Of all his titles — rapper, actor, restaurant owner and philanthropist — Chris ‘Ludacris‘ Bridges says that it is the role of dad which brings him the most happiness.

Calling daughter Karma, 8, his “best friend,” the entertainer tells USA Today he is never lonely. “She rolls with me,” he reveals.

“Whenever I’m at the restaurant, she’s there trying to help out the servers and she gets paid for that. And whenever I’m acting, she’ll come on set and root me on.”

Karma even gets a glimpse of her dad working the stage.

“I’ll bring her to some of my shows,” Ludacris, 32, says, clarifying that his daughter only attends “the clean ones I do at festivals where there are other kids.” He adds,

“She’s my road dog and she loves it.”

Karma is Ludacris’ only child.

She is sooo adorable! Luda is such a great guy, all the things Monica has said about him & him always watching her boys, really made me have a whole new respect for him!!

Google him and his lyrics, then tell me again about his positive outlook.

Someday that beautiful, precious child will look at her father and know that he sings about women like her being only b*tches and ho*s.

Ugh.

@ Jenna
Please do your research!!
He is an entertainer who entertains also an Actor and Philanthropist. He gives back constantly to the community constantly.
Now what are you doing with your life???
I cant stand people who are on their high horse.
Keep up the good work Luda!!!

He seems to be a good father to Karma. I’d also love to see him in more television shows and movies

Janna, if you compare him to many in the industry, he’s tame. Perhaps that particular genre of music does not appeal to you so you wouldn’t know any different but if you’re harping on the content of the lyrics, there are other rappers, who’ve been featured on this site, who say much worse.

This story is so cute, I can’t stand it! I was always the biggest Daddy’s girl, so I love to hear stories like this : )

- Patrice on March 11th, 2010

@Janna, if don’t have anything positive to say, why say anything at all? This is an article about a father calling his little girl his road dog & his best friend, leave it at that!

- Daisha on March 11th, 2010

Janna=typical hater. Nuff said….

- Niko on March 11th, 2010

@ Janna

Wow, are you really going to compare him to his music? He’s a business man, and he did what he had to do to make money. His real life has nothing to do with his song lyrics. He most likely did not even write his own lyrics since most popular rap artists do not. Its just an image, not reality.

He sounds like a great father and a great man.

- Maria on March 11th, 2010

She looks a lot like her daddy, too!

- Molly on March 11th, 2010

Love Ludacris and Karma sounds like a smart and independent little girl.

And Janna, I doubt Karma will know her own father as a musician or a performer. He is after all her father,that’s all that will ever matter to her.What matters to children is what we are when we’re with them and the time,love and support we give them. So unless you believe that Ludacris calls the women in his life b*tch and h*e you are complaining for absolutely no reason…unless what you actually meant to say was about how you feel and not what you presume Karma feels or will feel towards her dad.

Janna, I know his music has a lot of sexual-themed lyrics but I am not judging him on that. He is a great performer….I love his acting! I know that he is college-educated and I find him to be very articulate and well spoken. I love the fact that he is a very upbeat person and always seems to have a smile on his face He seems like a doting father too.

- HeatherR on March 11th, 2010

Karma’s adorable! It sounds like they have an awesome relationship.

- Erica on March 11th, 2010

“know that he sings about WOMEN LIKE HER being only b*tches and ho*s.”

Nah, you really can’t assume his daughter will fall into that category….because surely you must admit that SOME women do carry those titles well.

- LeFleur on March 11th, 2010

Does anyone know who Karma’s mother is, and whether she and Ludacris are still together? I’m very curious, as I’ve never seen the mother mentioned!

- CelebBabyLover on March 12th, 2010

Lovely story, she seems like an independant gal.

- True on March 12th, 2010

She’s a cutie! She looks a lot like her dad.

- Jane on March 12th, 2010

@ CelebBabyLover from what I’ve heard, Karma’s mothers name is Christine, and she is an attorney in Atlanta. And no she and Ludacris are no longer a couple.

UGH…how adorable is she?????? I have always liked Ludacris and you know what he is becoming a really good actor as well.
I think he is doing a great job w/ his daughter and as such people like Jana need to give it a rest w/ the negativity….

- Brownsugar1313 on March 12th, 2010

Luda seems like such a loving dad! Karma is SO Beautiful! She resembles her daddy a lot ….
