Ludacris is bringing the flavour in a unique way these days.
The rapper-turned-actor is using his love of cooking to encourage others to cook instead of eating at a drive-through. That’s why, on a recent sweltering day in Atlanta, Georgia, Ludacris distributed samples of his lemon pepper chicken cutlets.

“There’s nothing more Atlanta than that, especially when you’re trying to remix something and make it more nutritious and healthy,” he told CNN about his signature meal.
Ludacris has partnered with the food and flavour firm Knorr to raise awareness about the benefits of home cooking. He addressed the endeavour in the way that only a superstar rapper could, remixing Black Sheep’s legendary hip-hop song “The Choice Is Yours”.
Ludacris chose the 1991 hit because he enjoys “paying homage to all of the hip-hop forefathers and the ones that put me here.” He also convinced Black Sheep member Andres “Dres” Vargas-Titus to feature in the new video.
“I also think that [the comg] was the perfect hook because it [says] ‘You can either get with this or you can get with that,'” indicated Ludacris. “That is, you can choose between unhealthy fast food and healthful fast food. So the hook was a fantastic fit for what we were attempting to do.”
Ludacris defines healthful fast food as basic, homemade foods. One of the reasons he associated with the spice company was to make cooking easier.
“A lot of us, you know, sometimes we are strapped for time and we all grab food that is available at the time or we hurry up and get fast food that’s not nutritious,” he told me. “And that’s why I’m partnering with Knorr so that we can give people better options that are fast.”
This is not the first time Ludacris has demonstrated his culinary skills.
In 2021, he presented the food show “Luda Can’t Cook,” which ran for two seasons on Discovery+.
The notion was for the star to learn his way around the kitchen. And, while he is more confident in his abilities, he is unlikely to host any dinner parties in the near future.

He claims that his wife, Eudoxie Mbouguiengue, is the true culinary genius. So much so that Ludacris claims he doesn’t even cook with her at home.
“I don’t even need to come anywhere in her vicinity to help out,” he said with a joke. “She’s phenomenal at cooking, like beyond phenomenal.”
