"When did you first know that your child was a star?"
Nick's Mom Said:The first moment that I knew he was a star was when he did [the movie] "Drumline." He did the movie and the opening weekend, we were surprised with the turnout. Nick and myself thought it would do okay. I just told him I am so proud of him. Of course, he had been doing TV, but "Drumline," that’s when I absolutely knew. He does an awesome job. Every time I see it, I just start crying because I just don’t believe it.Ashanti's Mom Said:When I was pregnant [with her]. Honestly, because of how much she used to bounce around. I taught dance until the day that I went in and had her. I taught dance and roller skating. [In my womb], she wouldn’t go to sleep, she was kicking the ish out of me. She was very active. I just knew. I put her in dance school at 2 years-old. As long as they were potty trained, they could be in dance school. Her dad was a singer and I was a dancer. I said a couple of prayers and God gave me a star. Two stars.
Ludacris' Mom Said:On his first video shoot, I just happened to be in Atlanta, and I was on the video shoot of "What’s Your Fantasy." Kevin Liles [then Def Jam's President] was asking me, "Did I realize how big Chris was going to be?" He told me that they were opening a Southern division and that Scarface and Ludacris were going to be the first two artists. He kept telling me, "Do you know how big this is going to be?"
