The Braves will host Ludacris Night at Truist Park on Sept. 4 in a celebration of the Grammy Award winning rapper and actor, the team announced on Tuesday.

The Braves will host the Rockies on Sept. 4. Ludacris will throw out the ceremonial first pitch and there will be a bobblehead giveaway for the first 15,000 fans as part of the festivities.

Ludacris has a connection with his hometown Braves. He performed at their World Series celebration in 2021 and was part of their launch video for the City Connect uniforms in 2023.
