With President-elect Barack Obama’s historic election run now complete, Atlanta rap star Ludacris is finally breaking his silence on Obama’s marked criticism of his July dedication song. 
On the track entitled “Politics As Usual” taken from DJ Drama’s Gangsta Grillz: The Preview, Ludacris professed his full support for Obama.
That support was overshadowed by controversial lyrics that labeled President Obama’s former Democrat rival Hillary Clinton as a “b**ch,” and alluded to Republican John McCain as being close to disability. Ludacris also took aim at George W. Bush , calling the 43rd President of the United States “mentally handicapped.”
“The song was my artistic expression and was meant to get people who weren’t involved in the political process involved,” Ludacris told about the matter. “Being as though it was the first mixtape to reach the United States government was a bit overwhelming.”
Although Ludacris has since met with Obama, he declined to elaborate on what their discussion entailed. “What myself and the president spoke about is confidential, but I took it upon myself to not speak on the song…”
