The rapper, whose real name is Chris Bridges, welcomed Karma and Cai during two previous relationships and he later celebrated the arrival of Cadence and Chance with his wife,Eudoxie Bridges.

“There’s a lot ofestrogen around here!” the rapper told PEOPLE of his family. Despite the demands of his multifaceted career, his kids have remained his top priority.

“Family has always been my No. 1 focus,” he said. “Every day with my girls is something different, and I’m loving every minute of fatherhood.”

Ludacris’ world changed when he first became a father in 2001, having his oldest daughter Karma shortly after he released his first studio album,Back For the First Time,with a major label.

“I had just started coming into money,” he recalled to PEOPLE of that time in his life. “I was in a good place mentally, spiritually and financially, so I was prepared for fatherhood.”

Ludacris and attorneyChristine Whitewelcomed their daughter, Karma Christine Bridges, on Aug. 10, 2001. Since her birth, Karma has been close with her dad, joining him throughout his career whenever she was able to.

“I wanted to be with Karma at all times, but obviously because of my schedule and her being so young, I couldn’t,” he recalled to PEOPLE in June 2021 of those early days.

Ludacris relished every moment with his first daughter as she grew up, including the moment Karma first learned how to read.

“I was driving, and she was in the back seat. When I heard her slowly trying to put the words together, I started tearing up,” he shared. “Most rappers wouldn’t say that!”

He went on to create an educational website called Karma’s World when she was 10 years old. The website has since spawned an animatedNetflix series, which premiered in 2021, and a children’s book titledDaddy and Me and the Rhyme to Be, published in 2022.

“When Karma was 6 years old, she joined me in the studio and asked if she could make music, too,” Ludacris told PEOPLE of his inspiration for his book. “This is the basis of both the show and the book — a story for families that addresses what real kids go through.”

He added, “I want each of my daughters to live out their own dreams, and at that time in her life it was fun to hear that Karma had an interest in following in my footsteps.”

At her dad’s Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony in May 2023, Karma paid tribute to him with a sweet speech.

“To my rock, my hero, my dad. Words can’t describe how much being here today means to me,” she said in part. “From plays to dance recitals to graduations, you have always found a way to be there for me. Even if it’s a call or a text from miles away, you always made it a point to make sure I felt valued.”

In May 2024, Karmagraduated from Spelman Collegesumma cum laude. She told PEOPLE that she hopes to make “movie and film content that helps shape and change the social and political landscape.”

The artist then called “all the commercial airlines trying to get a ticket,” but everything was sold out.
