Atlanta rapper Ludacris was inducted into the Georgia Music Hall of Fame yesterday (September 20).

According to The Associated Press, Luda was the first rapper to ever be inducted into the revered hall of fame.

“And just to think 10 years ago I was trying to put pizzas through the oven at Pizza Hut to make sure I didn't get fired,” Ludacris said in a speech at the Georgia World Congress Centre.  “Now the only way I'll get fired is if I fire myself, so that's a beautiful thing right now for sure.”

Luda will be releasing his latest album titled Theatre Of The Mind next month.
