It’s not the hip-hop artist’s first time sharing inspirational thoughts about the team’s abilities.
In advance of the 2017 Super Bowl, Ludacris narrated a stirring 2 1/2-minute clip called “A City Waits.” He also laid out all of the reasons he believed the Falcons would win on ESPN’s “First Take” in Houston.
