In the year 2000, he repackaged his first album into ‘Back for the First Time’ adding singles like ‘Southern Hospitality’, and ‘What’s your Fantasy?’ The singles introduced the sub-genre ‘Dirty South Sound’ which later became popular and made him the most successful southern rapper at the time.

In 2014, Tamika Fuller, Cai’s mother, filed a lawsuit for child support demanding $15,000 per month. Luda cited the fact that Paul Walker’s demise would affect the release of the film, ‘Fast and Furious’ which was taking a toll on his finances and as a result, he could only pay $1800 per month. After financial details were reviewed, he was ordered to pay $7000. Luda was later awarded his daughter’s full custody and $2,000 in monthly support.

Ludacris and his wife Eudoxie welcomed their own child, another baby girl in June 2015. She was named Cadence Gaëlle Bridges.
