Luda Pulls an Oprah

(Which is ironic, given how she dissed him in the past...)

Ludacris brightened the lives of 20 people in the Atlanta area this weekend, giving each of them a car through his foundation.
Ludacris said he was taken aback after reading thousands of essays by people struggling or unable to buy cars needed to get to and from work or find jobs. The 31-year-old rapper felt he could step in and move them ahead, partnering with a suburban Atlanta dealership for Sunday's giveaway.

"People are getting laid off, and now are looking for jobs," Ludacris said. "To be efficient, you need some transportation of your own to get there. That's why I wanted to give back to those who need it."

Luda's definitely one of the good ones, and I'm glad to see him making the most of his opportunity to give back to the community. The full news article can be found here.
