“We got Fergie out the muthaf—king house! Can y’all please make some noise?” Luda asked the raucous crowd. “She ain’t perform in over seven years and she came to Atlanta, Ga.!”
Fergie popped out through a riser in a denim bottom and furry jacket as she performed her “Glamorous” smash with Luda, which topped the Billboard Hot 100 back in 2007.
“They ain’t ready for this,” she teased, before leading into her “London Bridge (Oh Shit)” anthem, which saw the Hot 100 No. 1 hit’s producer, Polow Da Don, join her on stage to assist with ad-libs.
Fergie then gave Luda his flowers. “Thank you so much for being here for me every single time,” she said. “Everyone give it up for Luda!”
As VIBE points out, while it’s been nearly a decade since Fergie hit a festival stage, she did perform at the 2022 MTV Video Music Awards with Jack Harlow.
Ludacris brought the stars to Atlanta for his memorable set, which he deemed to be his “favorite show ever.” The performance saw appearances from Jermaine Dupri, Jadakiss, Jeezy, Usher, Chingy, Shawna and LL Cool J.
“That was my favorite show ever,” Luda told VIBE. “It’s so dope to see hip-hop coming together from all walks, different generations, and [fans] just appreciating the art of what we’ve done — changing our lives. I’ve done a lot of shows over the last 25 years of my life, but I’m going to go ahead and put this one at the top, man.”
