While we’d like to think the end of the world is thousands of years away, it never hurts to be prepared, right?

It’s the most wonderful time of the year! So, why not spend it with Keke and Ludacris? On this week’s episode, we get into all things Christmas including the questionable thing Keke did as a kid during her church’s Christmas play and our favorite memories from the holiday season. As a veteran father in the game, Ludacris talks about the responsibility that comes with being a girl dad. He also reveals the bizarre way he and Keke first met and drops a hint at what he’s bringing to the table in 2024…we’re living for this! You won’t want to miss Keke’s impression of Luda’s iconic rap style or their Christmas song sing-along! If this doesn’t get you in the holiday spirit, we don’t know what will!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
