Vin Diesel Surprises Ludacris With Heartfelt Tribute From Daughter At Hollywood Walk Of Fame Ceremony
In a heartwarming gesture of friendship and support, Vin Diesel helped Ludacris’ eldest daughter, Karma, pull off a surprise for her father at his Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony on Thursday. The Fast & Furious star, along with other celebrities like Queen Latifah and LL Cool J, gathered to celebrate Ludacris’ incredible achievement.
As Vin Diesel took the podium to give a touching speech honoring his fellow Fast X castmate, he couldn’t help but mention Ludacris’ daughters, Cai, Cadence, and Chance. However, he noted that Karma, Ludacris’ oldest daughter, was conspicuously absent from the event. Without missing a beat, Ludacris leaned over to inform Vin that Karma was speaking at Spelman College in Atlanta.
Vin Diesel, showing his genuine support and quick thinking, repeated the news into the microphone, saying, “Well, I’m proud of Karma anyway, but I know she would say something if she was standing at this podium.”
To everyone’s surprise, Karma made her way to the stage, causing Ludacris to be visibly shocked. The father and daughter shared a heartwarming embrace, and Karma’s smile lit up the room. She also gave a warm hug to Vin Diesel, who couldn’t contain his excitement, exclaiming, “You did it.”
Amidst the cheers and applause from the audience, Karma held up a smartphone in her hand and delivered a moving speech of her own. “To my rock, my hero, my dad, words can’t describe how much being here for you today means to me,” she began. Karma confessed that when she received her father’s text asking if she could make it to LA, she had considered finding an excuse not to attend.
However, she continued, “The truth is, I wouldn’t miss it for the world. From plays to dance recitals to graduation, you have always found a way to be there for me.” Karma expressed her gratitude for her father’s constant support and emphasized the valuable life lessons he had imparted to her.
“You told me to face my fears, that I can be two things in this world: scared or prepared. You taught me that there is no such thing as failure as long as I never give up on my dreams. All I know is if ‘practice what you preach’ was a person, it would be you,” Karma continued.
Karma went on to highlight Ludacris’ exceptional qualities, calling him a go-getter, a natural leader, a risk-taker, and a multitasker. She praised him as a king and a perfect example of a father. Overwhelmed with emotion, Karma concluded, “After years of you being the one surprising me, it is my honor to have the tables be turned.”
Ludacris and Karma shared another heartfelt embrace, leaving the crowd in awe of their strong bond. The proud father beamed with joy as the applause filled the air.
