He posted a video on his Twitter handle together with his mum, wife and two girls. In the video, they held their passports confirming their Gabon’s citizenship. This is the best gift of the decade according to Ludacris. He feels confident that Africa is his home. However, Ludacris will still maintain his US citizenship. But of course, most of his time will be in Gabon. American rapper Ludacris assumes Gabon citizenship to live his dream of being an Africa. The 42-year-old loved Gabon ever since he got his wife from there. Though he’s an American, he’s proud that the ancestors left a legacy for the people. Speaking at Libreville, Ludacris informed his fans of how he is proud of his new decision.

A visit to Ghana during year of return

The new wave of Ghanaians from diaspora returning home did not leave Ludacris behind. He gladly joined them during the New Year’s Eve. Together with his fellow tourists, the rapper had a good time enjoying life in Ghana. He reminded the people about the importance of returning home after going away for so long. The year of return in Ghana was organized by the current president. He emphasized to the people how great it would be to trace their roots. And sure enough, they did.
