Decatur?

Ludacris makes plenty of references to Decatur (in "Southern Hospitality" and the remix for "Dey Know" by Shawty Low). I know he was originally from Champaign, IL. Does anyone know if he's referencing Decatur, IL? And if so, why? Wikifried (talk) 10:18, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

No, he's referring to Decatur GA, it's a city in Metro Atlanta. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decatur,_Georgia

Fred Claus

In the filmography, it puts down his role as being a main one in Fred Claus, though in reality he is only a minor, supporting character with little screentime. Please correct this error, as I'm too lazy to create an account. Many thanks. 213.202.146.199 (talk) 22:06, 6 January 2010 (UTC)

Controversy

Can someone please rewrite this section? I had to read three or four times to understand it. It's more like a story told from third-person point of view to me rather than a good encyclopedia article. Teabox (talk) 09:57, 10 June 2010 (UTC)

You can rewrite this section if you want. Can you edit the article? If not, post your contributions here ( and request by posting this tag onto the discussion page: {{editsemiprotected}} ). An editor will update it for you.  Davtra  ^(talk) 05:35, 12 July 2010 (UTC)

Quit taking down people's pictures!

First Big Pun, now it's Ludacris! Quit taking down people's pictures, just keep people's picture up. Please quit vandalizing people's profiles or articles on wikipedia. Someone put Ludacris' picture back. You know what, people need to put block or lock's on people's pages, because too many people are taking down pictures and articles and changing them. Just whoever is doing this, just quit!

Edit Request: Correct Personal section

Currently:
Ludacris has a daughter named Karma Bridges (born August 2001) from a relationship with an attorney from Atlanta.[27][better source needed] Since 2009 he has been dating Gabonese model Eudoxie Mbouguiengue.[28] Despite dating Eudoxie, he had a daughter, Cai Bella Bridges (born December 2013), with Tamika Fuller,[29][30] a longtime friend. In Costa Rica on December 26, 2014,[31] Ludacris became engaged to Eudoxie Mbouguiengue,[32] whom he had been dating since 2009.[31] They married later the same day that they became engaged.[33][34] In early June 2015, Eudoxie announced that the couple welcomed a baby girl.[35]

Change to:
Ludacris has a daughter named Karma Bridges (born August 2001) from a relationship with Atlanta attorney/event planner Christine[27][better source needed] Since 2009 he has been dating Gabonese native Eudoxie Mbouguiengue.[28] Despite dating Eudoxie, he had a daughter, Cai Bella Bridges (born 9 December 2013), with Tamika Fuller,[29][30] his longtime mistress. In Costa Rica on December 26, 2014,[31] Ludacris became engaged to Eudoxie Mbouguiengue,[32] whom he had been dating since 2009.[31] They married later the same day that they became engaged.[33][34]. In June 2015, Eudoxie gave birth to their daughter Cadence Gaelle <ref> celebritybabies.people.c o m/2015/04/27/ludacris-wife-eudoxie-baby-shower-photos/.<ref> <ref>http://celebritybabies.people.com/2015/06/04/ludacris-welcomes-daughter-cadence-gaelle/<ref> [35]

EXPLANATION: Ludacris had his second daughter Cai Bella 9 December 2013 with Tamika Fuller his longtime mistress. This is a fact as they had a court battle and he won full custody. Sources are the court records which are legal documents that each cannot lie in. In them both admitted to being in a longterm relationship (even though he had been dating Edoxie since 2009) and the result was their daughter together Cai Bella Fuller Bridges.
