Ludacris recently sat down with Larry King on the Emmy nominated series “Larry King Now” to talk about Furious 7, the passing of friend and co-star Paul Walker, his new album Ludaversal and his early days working the graveyard shift as a radio DJ at Atlanta’s Hot 107.9.
Ludacris shared with Larry how Paul Walker‘s death affected the cast and crew of Furious 7,“This movie almost didn’t see the light of day. And with that being said, we didn’t know what was going to happen. But we were able to come together as a unit. Everybody that knew him – kinda like we got through it together. And from there we came up with a very creative way to end this movie and we felt that we needed to honor him and pay homage to him. And that’s exactly what we did.”

Larry King and Ludacris found out they were both radio DJ’s with graveyard shifts early in their careers and how a lot of people aren’t necessarily what they seem over the radio. Ludacris admitted, “There’s a lot of crazy people calling up with a lot of freaky tales and a lot of crazy stories.” Check out what they both had to say below.
