Ludacris has topped the Billboard charts and now he’s taking over its award show. The “Party Girls” rapper will be dishing out a bit of southern hospitality when he hosts this year’s Billboard Music Awards.

The “Fast & Furious 7” star has produced five No. 1 albums on Billboard's Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart and 29 top 10 singles on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, which in Billboard’s eyes made him an ideal candidate to hold down the show.

Catch Ludacris in action this Sunday night on ABC.
