"HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my 9 Year Old Super Star ⭐️ Cadence Bridges Today. Thank you for choosing me as your Daddy and helping me create some of the best memories of a LIFETIME," the proud dad wrote.

Ludacris shares Cadence, Cai, 10, and Chance, 2, with wife Eudoxie Bridges. He is also dad to daughter Karma, 22, whom he shares with ex Christine White.

Last week, the dad of four celebrated another major moment for his girls as his oldest daughter Karma graduated from college.

The musician shared a series of photos on his Instagram, posing with Karma in one sweet snap as she held up a diploma and wore her cap and gown, smiling for the camera.

The proud dad could also be seen posing with Karma, Eudoxie and their three girls. "Make Sure You Add 'SUMMA CUM LAUDE' When You Speak About MINES @karma.christineHONORS #prouddaddy," Ludacris wrote in his caption.

“I am super proud of her," Ludacris said in a statement shared with PEOPLE. "She is a multi-talented beautiful young woman. Her passion for her craft is infectious . And I wish her unbounded success and happiness.”

Last May, the "Southern Hospitality" rapper was joined by all four of his daughters as he received his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

In a group shot, Ludacris posed with his hand around Cadence, while she hung her arm around sister Cai. Karma stood next to her dad and baby sister Chance, who was held by her mom.

Cai and Cadence wore matching black dresses, with Cadence in black heels and Cai in white sandals. Cai opted for a pair of sunglasses. Karma wore a light purple top and black pants, matching her baby sister Chance who wore a frilly pastel dress.
