Over 16,000 people assembled on Saturday to attend the Ludacris Foundation's yearly LudaFam Day block party outside of the Mercedes Benz Stadium. Several artists hit the two stages including - Ludacris, Flaujae, Ar'mon and Trey, Bre-Z, Molly Brazy, Brie and many more, as well as a surprise appearance by the Democratic candidate in Georgia's Governor election, Stacey Abrams. Tristan "Mack" Wilds and Power star, Michael Rainey Jr., also made guest appearances pumping up the crowd on stage and even doing the Shiggy Challenge dancing to Drake's hit song, In My Feelings.
Closing out the weekend Ludacris hosted his highly acclaimed celebrity basketball game at Morehouse's Forbes Arena. This year Team Hip-Hop coached by Ludacris and 21 Savage went head to head with Team Hollywood coached by Jamie Foxx and Rotimi. NBA stars such as John Wall, Lou Williams, Lance Stephenson, Jaylen Brown and more teamed up with entertainers such as Tank, Key Glock, Malaysia Pargo, Michael Rainey Jr. for an extreme battle on the court that led to a double overtime victory by Jamie Foxx's Team Hollywood. Following the basketball game, Ludacris' special invited VIP's and sponsors wind down at the LudaDay TopGolf Takeover at Atlanta's Midtown TopGolf location.
