Dressed casually in Gucci sunglasses, a red tank top, camouflage pants, and red and black Jordans, the “Fast and Furious 6” actor, had a few words to say to fans eager to know just how much of a speed racer he is in real life.

“Last time I got pulled over for speeding was probably over a year ago,” said Ludacris. “But for some reason, I was able to talk myself out of a ticket.”

The crowd went wild when Ludacris hit the stage to perform some of his biggest hits over the past decade including, “Southern Hospitality,” “What’s Your Fantasy,” “How Low Can You Go” and “Yeah.”

Before heading over to his lavish cabana where he was later joined by magician, Criss Angel, Ludacris sprayed the crowd with water and threw a tee-shirt out to one lucky fan.
