Ludacris Joins The Empire!

Ludacris returns to acting.

Reuniting with Terrence Howard and Taraji P Henson, Christopher "Ludacris" Bridges will appear on the Fox hit series Empire.

The Disturbing Tha Peace entertainer is about to part ways with his longtime label Def Jam after they failed in promoting Ludaversal. In the meantime, Luda's got to pay for them bills. He's a married man. A father of two with one on the way. Got to make the money somewhere!

Ludacris will return to acting to at least build his career. He's closing in on the 4-O and he's got to stay relevant once he puts the down the mic.

Right now, he'll be a guest star on the Lee Daniels hip-hop drama.

Luda guest stars on Empire.

Howard plays ruthless business mogul Lucious Lyon. He's dealing with his three sons who struggle for a piece of Empire Records and ex-wife Cookie (played Henson) who wants the stakes in her favor.

Howard finished the now canceled Fox series Wayward Pines.

Ludaris, Terrence Howard and Taraji Henson were featured in Hustle & Flow, a critically acclaim movie that featured the Oscar award winning song, "It's Hard Out Here for a Pimp".
