Ludacris is mourning the death of his father.
The rapper's father Wayne Bridges died on Sunday (25.02.07) aged 52
following a long illness - just two weeks after Ludacris dedicated his
Grammy award win to him.
The family released a statement saying: "We are overwhelmed by the generous
outpouring of love, condolences and support from family members, friends,
fans and the many well-wishers.
"We thank you for your prayers and hope you will understand our need for
privacy during this sorrowful time."
The 29-year-old rapper from Atlanta accepted his Grammy for best rap album
'Release Therapy' on February 11, saying "Mr Wayne Bridges, I love you to
death."
At the time, his father was critically ill in hospital.
Ludacris - real name Chris Bridges - added backstage. "He is the reason I am
in this music field today. When I was young, how many different genres of
different music he used to play for me. So you know, my appreciation for
music definitely goes to him and that's why I dedicated my award to him."
