October 14, 2021 Ludacris explains how he almost missed the birth of his fifth daughter, because he was shooting a movie in New Mexico! Rapper and actor Ludacris almost missed the birth of his fifth child in July as he tried to get a flight out of New Mexico, so he could be in Atlanta on time. He was shooting End of the Road with Queen Latifahwhen his wife, Eudoxie, went into labor and he had to drop everything. Im on set, I was shooting a scene, he tells The Ellen DeGeneres Show. I look at my phone and I was getting all these missed calls and shes like, You need to come to Atlanta! Im like, Baby, Im shooting a movie, what are you talking about? and she says, The contractions started and the doctor says you need to get here. The Fast & Furious* star couldnt book a commercial flight, so he had to ask his own pilot to fly his private plane out to Albuquerque to pick him up. I have a Hawker 700 (plane) but its in Atlanta , Ludacris says. I have to call my pilot and Im like, Listen, you need to leave Atlanta and come to New Mexico right now because everything is sold out. He literally comes and gets me and I fly to Atlanta and I get there an hour before her water breaks. Little Chance Oyali Bridges arrived two weeks early on July 28. Ludacris and Eudoxie also share Cadence, five, while the rapper is dad to three other daughters six-year-old Cai, Karma, 13, and 20-year-old Shaila Scott. Posted in Read more
