Ludacris recently alarmed his fans when he drank unfiltered and possibly contaminated glacier water in Alaska, but in a new social media video, he said it was the best and cleanest water he’s ever had. “Yo, to everybody asking me what that glacier water really tasted like,” he began his remarks. “And when I tell y’all, I’m a water snob. It was the best tasting water I’ve ever had in my life. When I drank it, it felt like every cell in my human body was being hydrated and rejuvenated at the same time. Had the most amazing show in Alaska afterward. Just got to Minneapolis, we have a show tomorrow. Listen, man, I’m here. I feel like Superman. Love to all the fans, I’m glad you guys like this. It’s different ways of life. I’m just trying to take you places, show you things, meet people. Come on, man. Best regards.”
Besides, it wasn’t Ludacris’ only silly hot take of late… At least in the eyes of many hip-hop fans. “I think Wayne, he’s one of the greatest by the way, I think he admitted… He doesn’t do a lot of freestyle, so I would just say I would win that,” he said while speaking during a Funky Friday with Cam Newton Interview about hypothetical freestyle battle duels.
Ludacris praises glacier water in new update
“I mean, straight off the dome, that’s what I mean, because he does,” Ludacris continued. “But I’m just saying that at one point he even admitted that it’s not – he writes songs fast as hell, don’t get me wrong. It’s a feeling and a form of freestyle, but he’s also just flamboyant. But man, Wayne is one of my favorites. One verse, ah, I’d say wins (against Jay-Z). I’d win on that one. That’s a strong statement, because Hov is definitely one of my favorites too.
“Verses, man, I’m just gonna go in and metaphors and style, in terms of flow, I’m gonna kill that shit,” Ludacris stated. “That’s not to say Hov ain’t gonna kill that shit. But I’m, when you say shit like that and it puts me in a category like, ‘Oh shit, I’m against Hov,’ I have to go through every damn word, every line, every style, every flow, every metaphor. You gotta go back and listen to there was a song on my album with me, Nas and Hov called ‘I Do It for Hip Hop’ (that) was so dope.”
