Ludacris has an interesting story about his interaction with Justin Timberlake at the Grammys.
Over the weekend, Drink Champs delivered its full episode featuring Luda. In a clip TMZ noticed from the three-hour conversation, Ludacris recalls his luck at the Grammy Awards prior to winning Best Rap Album in 2007 with Release Therapy and Best Rap Song with "Money Maker." He remembered making a ruckus while celebrating his first solo win backstage at the 49th Annual Grammy Awards when someone basically screamed at him to STFU. When Luda pulled back the curtain, JT was the only one standing there.
"Because I was so passionate after I got that award, I went backstage and at this time they had all the artists separated by curtains," Luda explained. "I say that to say I get back and I'm like 'Yeah! F**k yeah I made it! I did it! I won! ... And all of a sudden I hear this voice on the other side of the curtain and muthaf**ka was like 'Shut the f**k up! Some of us didn't win no goddamn Grammys today! I pulled that curtain back and Justin Timberlake was on the other side."
Timberlake must have made the outburst early in the night because he took home the awards for Best Rap/Song Collaboration thanks to "My Love" and Best Dance Recording for "Sexy Back." Luda didn't appear to hold a grudge against Timberlake for his reaction. In fact, he even called JT a "gangsta" afterward.
The episode continued with conversations about Atlanta's influence in the music scene, personal stories that changed his life and his past work with Pharrell Williams and JAY-Z. He also discussed his iconic acting career and even clarified the origin story of how he landed his years-long role in the Fast & Furious franchise.
