Ludacris Responds to Katt Williams’ Claims

Around eight minutes into the interview, the host Charlamagne Tha God asked Ludacris if Williams had ever been considered for his role in the ‘Fast & Furious’ series. “No… he never — Not that I know of,” Ludacris responded, adding with a chuckle, “You said, was he offered a role?”
Williams had previously made the allegation during his discussion with Sharpe back in January. To Ludacris’ response, Charlamagne clarified that Williams claimed not to have accepted the role because he was unwilling to compromise on certain aspects.

Remaining unruffled, Ludacris stated he wouldn’t be the right person to confirm or deny Williams’ claims. He elaborated that while he did meet Williams at Rick Ross’ house some years ago, he wouldn’t know about Williams’ supposed offer.
The conversation then moved towards a derogatory comment made by Williams about Ludacris’ wife. The rapper viewed the slander as laughable, considering Williams’ profession as a comedian.
