After Jack Harlow was mocked for his underwhelming Thanksgiving Halftime Show, Ludacris, 46, may have realized that he needed to take his scheduled performance at the Sunday, November 26, Atlanta Falcons game to the next level – literally. During the end of the third quarter of the Falcons’ clash with the New Orleans Saints, the team treated fans at the Georgia Dome to the hometown hero, Ludacris.
The “Roll Out” rapper didn’t begin his show at the 50-yard line: he kicked it off hundreds of feet in the air, descending to the turf from the stadium’s roof. “I got some Georgia Dome today,” he posted online afterward while sharing footage of him suspended high above the crowd. The footage is dizzying, but Ludacris didn’t seem bothered at all.
Instead, he kicked into “Move Bitch,” his 2001 hit, while hyping up the fans below. The stunt (which was giving Lady Gaga’s Super Bowl LI Halftime Show) was part of the Falcon’s salute to the 50th anniversary of hip-hop.
The event also included appearances from other Dirty South superstars like T.I, Big Boi, Jeezy, Cee-Lo Green and Quavo, according to Billboard. The performance might have also given the Falcons some extra oomph: they beat the Saints, 24-15, giving them the edge in the NFC South.
