Ludacris Rappels Into Atlanta’s Mercedes-Benz Stadium During Falcons Game

Ludacris performed at the Atlanta Falcons game this weekend — and it looks like he took a page out of Lady Gaga‘s playbook to make an entrance … descending from the heavens.

The rapper was the hired talent Sunday at Mecedes-Benz Stadium … but weirdly enough, he didn’t put on a halftime performance — but rather, did a quick set after the third quarter … which definitely took everyone by surprise.

The reason … the dude literally rappelled down onto the stage below from way up toward the top of the facility — and he did it kinda slowly, partially rapping a song in the air.

Looks like he was doing ‘Move Bitch’ on his way down … and he was hyping up the crowd too, who ate it up. Unclear if he did a whole set once he touched down or not (there was a game going on, after all), but he got a little shine regardless.

The whole point of this was to celebrate 50 years of hip-hop in the ATL … of which Luda has been a huge contributor over the years — not to mention countless other acts from the area.
