Ludacris attempted to protect himself by running to court first in his case against baby mama Tamika Fuller, but it seems like his efforts may have done more harm than good because now he has been ordered to pay Tamika’s lawyer fees to the tune of $35,000…and he has 10 days to make it happen!

In the documents filed on March 20, Ludacris’ baby mama, Tamika Fuller, is named guardian of their 4-month-old daughter, Cai Bella, “for the purpose of representing the best interest of the child” and Chris Bridges’ (Ludacris’ real name) attempt to have her held in contempt of court was shot down.
“The Petitioner shall pay the Guardian ad Litem’s initial retainer of $7,500.00, to be replenished to the full amount when depleted to $1,500.00,” the documents read.
“The Guardian ad Litem shall be billed at a rate of $325.00 per hour. The retainer shall be paid directly to the Guardian ad Litem within 14 days of the entry of this order.”
“Petitioner shall pay to Respondent’s counsel, Thirty Five Thousand Dollars ($35,000.00), in addition to any amounts previously awarded or paid, as an award of temporary attorney’s fees and expenses of litigation,” the March 20 ruling reads.
“Said amount shall be paid to Respondent’s counsel within 10 days of the date of this order.”
And because Ludacris’ motion to have Fuller found in contempt was denied, he was knocked an extra $2,000 in fees for that too.
It probably would have just been cheaper for Luda to let Tamika take him to court for child support first. He is getting beat over the head and charged with Attempted Petty.
