Open Letter To Ludacris..
Posted on December 26, 2007 9:58 AM
Anyone who reads SOHH Atlanta regularly knows that I have a “Go Hard Or Go Home†mentality to all interviews and media events. However I can personally acknowledge that I may have gone a little bit too far this weekend as it relates to Ludacris and his foundation. And I think it’s only right to apologize.
Dear Ludacris,
First off let me say that no matter what you may think of me, I am a big fan. This past weekend at your “Winter Wonderland†event I think I acted like an ass when I asked you on camera about Jaime Lynn Spears and her impending pregnancy. While the question was valid, it was completely inappropriate. And I apologize if â€" for one moment â€" I took away from your community efforts. In this extremely competitive industry I always try to do something different from my fellow media brethren to garner an exclusive. And that was my only intention. But after looking back at the footage I collected I cringe at the thought of what I did. It was in poor taste, it was inappropriate and I am truly sorry for what I did. It takes a big man to step outside the box to achieve his goals. But it takes an even bigger man to admit when he was wrong. And I was dead wrong!!
While I know you don’t think highly of me, or so I am told. I still continue to support your causes and projects because you are a beacon of hope to a lot of young kids out there. You keep to yourself, you stay out of trouble, and you've exemplified the true meaning of what it takes to be a role model. I hope this eases any ill will that may have developed since this past weekend.
What can I say, I’m human and I make mistakes. But the most important thing is that I learn from them. I hope that one day we can put all feelings aside and have a one on one sit down interview.
Again, I am sorry for my poor timing.
Happy Holidays!

Heh, we all make mistakes, It defintaley does take a big man to say that you were in the wrong and I can respect that.
^^^^true indeed... No choice but to respect someone for owning up to their mistake.
Gone!
Now see Gyant I see you sayng IT TAKES A BIGGER MAN TO ADMIT HIS MISTAKES. I just read the Ugk tarnished blog. And you was trippin even after the fact big homie apologized if HE HIMSELF hurt anybody. It wasnt his intentions. His intentions were deeper go back to that blog I already commented there and I ain't gone repeat it. It ain't no rude shit or hate shit jus some real talk. But like you said it takes abigger man to admit when they wrong so check that comment and see if it don't chang ure mind a lil bit. UGK Records 4 life XxX
that's big of you dude. people make mistakes like you said. I'm glad you apologized. Luda is quietly posting one of the best resumes in hip hop, and because he doesn't act like a fool, he either gets bad pub or no pub. It's a good look for you to give him his props.
