Blige), How Low and My Chick Bad (ft. Nicki Minaj) – as well as for his roles in hit films like 2 Fast 2 Furious, Crash and RocknRolla – only announced the concert a few days ago but tickets are selling fast.

He will be part of a major fashion and music event – which also features the British punk musician Sean Forbes among others – at the luxurious MotorCity Casino Hotel on Friday 10^th September 2010. Tickets, which cost between $32 and $39, are for sale at the hotel itself, over the phone or online.

Christopher Brian Bridges, better known by his professional stage name Ludacris, is a Grammy Award-winning rapper and actor from Illinois, USA.

Born on 11^th September 1977, Bridges wrote his first rap song when he was just nine years old. He began his career in earnest as a radio DJ in Atlanta, Georgia, where he was known by the name Chris Lova Lova, but his self-produced album Incognegro soon led to a record deal with Def Jam. The album was modified and re-released as Back for the First Time in October 2000, reaching number four on the US Billboard 200. The album included the Top 40 singles Southern Hospitality and What’s Your Fantasy and has been certified triple platinum with over three million copies sold.

Ludacris released his next album Word of Mouf at the end of 2001, which produced the singles Rollout (My Business), Area Codes, Saturday (Oooh, Oooh) and Move Bitch. Word of Mouf, just like Back for the First Time, ended up going triple platinum and was nominated for Best Rap Album at the 2003 Grammy Awards.

Ludacris’ next album was 2003’s Chicken-n-Beer, which included the hit single Stand Up, which reached the top spot on the Billboard Hot 100, as well as the huge pop hit Splash Waterfalls. Soon after this, Ludacris won his first Grammy Award for his part in writing and performing in Usher’s number one hit Yeah! And the success continued, with 2004’s The Red Light District and 2006’s Release Therapy both reaching number one on the Billboard 200 album charts, and single Money Maker also taking Ludacris to the top spot.

The rapper’s latest album, Battle of the Sexes, reached number one in the album charts in March 2010 and its first two singles, How Low and My Chick Bad, both made the Top 20.
