Ludacris to Host 2014 Billboard Awards

Jennifer Lopez will be receiving the grandest honor of the evening as she’s presented with the Icon Award at the 2014 BBMAs. The show would just not be a show without a host, right? Well, Ludacris will be hosting this years awards show and I’m quite surprised that he was chosen. Then again check out his track record on the charts.

• 18 Hot 100 top 10 singles
• 5 #1 albums on R&B/Hip-Hop Albums
• 29 top 10 singles on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs

Aside from all that chart topping he’s also established himself as a pretty reputable actor playing in a variety of movies from Crash to the franchise Fast & Furious.

He’s been able to juggle both acting and music successfully and his latest album, Ludaversal, is set to be released this fall. Check out the video for his track, ‘Party Girls’, below:

The 2014 BBMA will air live from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on ABC, 8pm EST.
