Inspired by Luda's own daughter, Karma’s World tells the story of a girl named Karma, gifted with stellar rapping skills. The show also addresses themes surrounding family and social justice issues. The dolls arrive just as the show's third season launches.
“The more diversity and inclusivity I can see across onscreen, the happier I’ll be — because it’s part of the reason I wanted to create the show," Luda told Billboard. "Karma’s World has provided an opportunity to become mainstream in the way certain shows paved the way for me. I’m very happy that we’re seeing more of us onscreen.”
Alongside the new doll line, Ludacris has expanded the Karma’s World brand with Daddy and Me and the Rhyme to Be (A Karma’s World Picture Book), The Great Shine-A-Thon Showcase chapter book and the Karma’s World soundtrack.
“We’re on season three, and if everybody continues to love the show, what’s next could possibly be a season four,” says Ludacris, also referencing the related start-up KidNation, an online platform devoted to family-friendly music and video content. “KidNation is in the beta phase but we’re branching out and progressing, so look for more exciting things from KidNation as well.”
Karma’s World dolls are available at Target and Walmart stores.
