Ludacrismight be adding “pilot” to his impressive resume soon.
The three-time Grammy Award winner, 43, recently elaborated on a video he posted of himself flying a plane, as he appeared Tuesday onTheEllen DeGeneresShow. “I’m just as surprised as everyone else,” hesaid.
“The internet just ran with the fact that I have an official pilot’s license when they saw this video,” Ludacris continued. “I never said that, but who am I to correct the internet? The internet believes what they want to believe.”
He previously shared avideoin March from the cockpit of his plane, as he took the controls and intently navigated through the clouds. “If You Don’t Evolve, You’ll Evaporate,” he wrote in the caption.
“But that’s something that’s called a ‘nickel ride,’ that term goes back to the military days. So, it’s my first time actually flying,” Ludacris told DeGeneres. “I actually own a plane, but for all of these years, I’ve never wanted to become a pilot, because you can’t drink alcohol within eight hours of flying. Who would want to go on a vacation and not drink before they leave? … Long story short, that’s the first of many, but I do plan to get my pilot’s license soon. It’s a work in progress, it takes some time.”
“There’s a lot of estrogen around here!” he recentlytold PEOPLEfrom his home, also referring to his daughters Karma, 19, and Cai Bella, 7, from previous relationships. “Luckily, I have 22 acres of land, so I’m able to step outside and clear my head every now and then. Then when I come back in, I’m loving them and hugging them the same way as if I went out of town.”
But theF9star has enjoyed having the extra family time during their quarantine. “It’s been a great break,” he said. “Family has always been my No. 1 focus, but, of course, I have to get out there and provide for them. This past year has made me focused on figuring out businesses that allow me to work while also spending more time with my family.”
