We were starved by the time we arrived at Straits restaurant. Lisa Wu and I were invited out to the Ludacris Appreciation dinner held at his restaurant. On the upper level was the V.I.P. area where people in the industry, sponsors, artists, actors and more mingled and networked. Ludacris and Chaka Zulu made a brief speech to welcome everyone. Around the room I spotted, Meeka Claxton, Ciara, Tika Sumpter, Keisha Knight Pulliam, Estelle, Lance Gross, Letoya Lucket, Mayor Kasim Reed and several NBA players.
We had the usual good food that Straits has to offer and sipped on signature cocktails provided by Seagrams. Chaka (Luda’s Manager) asked Lisa Wu and I were we going to head over to the after party at Luxe Lounge. I was looking cross eyed as Lisa Wu said, “Oh yeah, we will be there!” I should have known it was going to be a long night. At the after party, I lost count on how many bottles of champagne Chaka popped to celebrate the long Luda Weekend. Everybody was in great spirits. It was fun and I’m loving the goody bag filled with a HD Flip Camera and Ludas new headset, tee shirt and hat!I would like to thank Brand Pr for the personal invite!
