Ludacris began his acting career as the fan-favorite character Tej in “2 Fast 2 Furious” and will reprise his role for the final movie in the franchise in 2023.

Chris Quinones, freshman in LAS, said he was unaware of the concert, but it will be a cool opportunity. 

Macy Hull, junior in AHS, said she’s interested in going to the concert.

“I know ‘Baby’ by Justin Bieber featuring Ludacris, that’s about it, but it’s the only song that matters.”
