In the early 2000s, Ludacris posted a number of hit records. Firmly establishing Def Jam in the South, Ludacris was a force. Taking his rap successes, Ludacris managed to get into other fields and put his money in the right businesses.
Like many before him, Ludacris was bitten by the acting bug. In 2004, he had a breakout role on CRASH, which also featured Terrence Howard in a supporting role. The following year, it was Ludacris in the supporting role, as Terrence Howard had a breakout portrayal in Hustle & Flow.
Ten years later, Lee Daniels reunited Terrence Howard with Taraji P. Henson for “Empire,” his breakout primetime FOX soap opera. In season two, “Empire” is only getting bigger and better, with a laundry list of celebrity guest stars. The latest person to confirm an “Empire” is Ludacris, who revealed his role via an Instagram photo alongside Terrence Howard, whose character, Lucious is currently in prison.
