On Wednesday, the Atlanta Braves honored Ludacris with a night of events dedicated to local Atlanta music personalities and the city’s influence on the music industry and culture, while spotlighting new and emerging artists.

In honor of Ludacris, the Braves are giving the first 15,000 fans at Truist Park an exclusive Ludacris bobblehead.

The bobblehead figure shows the Grammy-winning rapper in a Hank Aaron jersey with a microphone in his right hand and – of course – a gold watch as a fashion accent.

Ludacris also threw the ceremonial first pitch against the Colorado Rockies with the same hands as in his “Get Back” music video.

Luda!

Leading up to the game, the Braves paid tribute to Ludacris with a set from the rapper’s official DJ, photo stations featuring his album artwork from years past and a “Luda’s at The Battery” food truck inspired by Ludacris’ Chicken and Beer restaurant.

This is far from the multiplatinum rapper’s first interaction with Atlanta’s professional sports teams. In the 2023 NFL season, he memorably rappelled from the roof of Mercedes-Benz Stadium during a halftime performance of a Week 12 game between the New Orleans Saints and Atlanta Falcons.

Go back, Luda!

In 2021, he sang “Welcome to Atlanta,” “Number One Spot,” “Yeah!” and “Move,” among others, at the World Series celebration. Ludacris was also featured in the Braves’ introduction video for their 2023 City Connect uniforms.
