Kid CuDi has given up on a bitter custody battle with his baby's mother over the full custody of their daughter.

CuDi explains that he purchased a home in Chicago, Illinois to be closer to his daughter and gave her "generous support," but the child's mother denies that claim, stating that he gave only "sporadic and inconsistent amounts" of support. She also accuses him of being an absentee father, as well as having violent tendencies and a "long history of consistent drug and alcohol abuse."

On August 3rd, Cudders finally agreed to let the mother have full custody of the child. She is allowing him visitation rights and he will also pay child support.
