‘Know What Pissed Me Off’: Steve Harvey Unleashes Parenting Advice to Help ‘Girl Dad’ Ludacris

Steve Harvey may know a thing or two when it comes to parenting daughters who inevitably attract suitors as they go into the world. 

Having four daughters of his own — Brandi and Karli Harvey from a previous marriage, and stepdaughters Lori and Morgan Harvey from his current wife Majorie Harvey — he made sure to impart some of his wisdom onto rapper and girl dad Ludacris.

The “Rollout” emcee has four daughters of his own — Karma, 20, Cai, 7, Cadence, 6, and the newest edition, 2-month old Chance — and was all ears as a guest on Harvey’s Facebook show, “Steve on WATCH.” While explaining how his oldest is a current student at Spelman College, Ludacris revealed he is already making incognito pop-ups to campus to make sure his baby girl is staying on track.

Harvey, 64, jumped at the opportunity empathize with the concerned father. 

“You gon’ have to make an example, ’cause I seen your daughters, these are beautiful girls so you got this problem that I’ve suffered with,” began Harvey before easing into his advice during the Oct. 12 episode.

“You know what pissed me off, dawg, was couple of dudes back-doored me, you know got in around a couple of my little girls on the back door, ’cause you know they grown and live out the house,” continued the one fourth of the “Kings of Comedy.”

In recent interviews Harvey has been vocal about his disdain for stepdaughter Lori’s relationships. The 24 year-old model and entrepreneur has been linked to the likes of Trey Songz and Diddy, although she has only ever publicly acknowledged her past relationship with rapper Future and current beau actor Michael B. Jordan.

With the exception of Jordan, Harvey has stated he hated each of her suitors.

“But what you got to do is you still got to be a father, so even if they accept one of these offers from these idiots, what you got to do is you got to — ’cause you can’t stop it ’cause it done started — but you got to go around they back door. You got to have that Ludacris conversation with them on they on,” explained Harvey. 

An amused Ludacris responded, “See, now that’s some great, great advice. I appreciate that.”

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
