Ludacris has made peace with his much-publicized enemy, Fox News anchor Bill O'Reilly, after running into the controversial right-wing pundit at a recent dinner.
"The first thing I said to him was, 'I want to meet the guy who has had so much to say about me, but knows absolutely nothing about me,' " Ludacris told RadarOnline.com. "I identified that I wanted to speak to him when I saw his name on the guest list. I looked at what table he was on and I walked my ass straight to that table," Luda continued. "He wasn't expecting to see me at all. The look on his face when he saw me approaching ... priceless."
The MC said the pair even teamed up for a recent charity event, but the shindig was kept secret.
In 2002, Pepsi announced Ludacris as one of its spokespeople, and O'Reilly demanded a boycott against the company for hiring someone who "disrespects women, encourages drug use and encouraged violence." In response, Pepsi fired Ludacris, though O'Reilly continued to condemn the rapper for years afterward, calling him "vile" and a "thug." The soft-drink company also hired Jack and Kelly Osbourne, children of Ozzy Osbourne and famous for their foul mouths, as spokespeople and kept the pair onboard.
"I feel like they don't respect the black dollar," Ludacris said in 2003 of the beverage company's decision to drop him. "When they put the Osbournes on, that's basically them saying I'm worse than the Osbournes, so I don't know who makes the decisions up there. No pun intended, but that's ludicrous, man."

Well, his pinky is “worf tree-hundred thousAND!!”
A secret charity event?
You got that right! I was picturing the two of them touring a slaughter house or something. But what do you expect from a Generation.com know-nothing that works for MTV? It's a wonder the moron even knew how to use punctuation.
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
“How low cannaya go?”
Seeing as St Patty’s day is coming soon, they should have just corned some beef instead.
“I identified that I wanted to meet with him...”
Odd use of the word “identify.” Indicate, perhaps?
Now I can sleep tonight!
who’s ludapris?
He actually sounds very mature.
This is what constitutes for journalism ? Why did I get an “F” in that class !?
What is up with his pinky. He holds his hand out and his pinky juts out to the side.
It’s a reminder which way to go when he’s in doubt.
