Ludacris Narrowly Escapes Disaster as His Treasured Acura Legend Survives a Trailer Hitch Collision
Ludacris narrowly escapes a dangerous incident when a trailer hitch crashes into his cherished Acura Legend Sharing his State Farm ad experience, he emphasizes the need for a reliable neighbor in times of unexpected mishaps
Ludacris, the rapper and Fast & Furious star, recently found himself in a humorous predicament involving a broken sink faucet in a State Farm commercial. However, when he encountered a real-life "ludicrous" situation not too long ago, he wasn't laughing. Ludacris, 46, shares that he has been a loyal State Farm client for over two decades. Recalling the incident, he explains how a U-Haul Hitch unexpectedly detached from a truck on the highway and collided with the passenger door of his Acura Legend, showcasing just how absurd and unexpected life can be.
"Fortunately, I was unharmed," he continues. "I had my seatbelt fastened and everything, but I had to reach out to State Farm. Luckily, they were there when I needed them, just like a helpful neighbor. I don't have much else to say. It was definitely the most absurd incident."
Ludacris' fondness for his 1993 Acura is widely known. He acquired the vehicle in 1999, and in 2015, it was featured on the cover of his ninth studio album, Ludaversal. However, during that same year, the car suffered damage to its right side in the accident, as depicted in Car and Driver's photographs. Thankfully, Acura not only took it upon themselves to repair the car, but also gave it a complete restoration that included an enhancement to its brakes with a six-piston front and four-piston rear upgrade.
Ludacris, usually not the recipient of such gifts, instead finds himself in the role of Santa Claus, dedicating his time to charitable causes such as St. Jude’s, MusiCares, the Boys & Girls Club, and his own nonprofit organization, The Ludacris Foundation, to assist those in need. Reflecting on his humble beginnings, he recalls starting his career at a hip-hop radio station in Atlanta when he was just 18 years old. At the time, the station required its employees to actively engage in community service on a weekly basis. Being young and focused on other priorities, it was an unexpected responsibility for him!

However, as Ludacris engaged with the community, he became increasingly aware of the significant impact he could make as a local celebrity. "The more my popularity grew, the more determined I became to remain active in the service industry and give back," he emphasizes. "This perfectly aligns with State Farm's objectives and the message we aim to convey through this campaign."

Ludacris has had a busy 2023, wrapping up various projects. He made an appearance in Fast X, commemorated the 50th anniversary of hip-hop, and was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Furthermore, Ludacris took on a leading role in Dashing Through the Snow, an exciting Christmas film that recently debuted on Disney+. Early critiques have been positive, with The Daily Beast noting that Ludacris is a perfect fit for future holiday movies.
