Ludacris Clears Up Rumors, Reveals Name of New Album

Although multi-platinum selling rapper Ludacris just dropped his last album, 'Theater of the Mind,' in November, rumors are already spreading about his upcoming 7th release.

Luda set the record straight in a recent interview yesterday, explaining that the album will not be called 'Cineplex' as has been reported, and voicing his complaints about the hip hop rumor mill.

"It must be the biggest rumor in the world because you're like the fifth person who asked me about that," Luda said. "It's just really frustrating when somebody puts a rumor out and everyone goes with it."

The ATL wordsmith continued to say that he "Never remotely said anything about something called 'Cineplex.' Dead that s---." He then revealed the real title of the album, "It's 'Ludaversal.' That's what comes after 'Battle of the Sexes.'"

Fans will have to wait until 2010 for 'Ludaversal,' but in the meantime, Luda's collaboration with female rapper Shawnna, 'Battle of the Sexes,' is scheduled for release before the end of this year.
