Rapper Ludacris is reportedly deeply upset over the fact that there were jokes made about his late and good friend actor Paul Walker during the Comedy Central Roast of Justin Bieber.
According to Inside Halton, one of the roasters, comedian Jeff Ross, was the one who talked about the Paul Walker joke where he referenced the song "Move Bitch" by Ludacris. Ross used the lyrics "Move bitch, get out of the way" noting that it should have been what Walker said to the tree during the car crash incident. He asked the audience if the joke was too soon but continued to mock the franchise that Walker starred in and is best known for, which is "Too Fast, Too Furious".
Aside from Ross, comedian and roaster Pete Davidson also came up with a Walker joke where he noted that Bieber was arrested for drag racing but it was not with Walker adding that the actor is even doing great because he has an upcoming movie this year, which is the seventh installment of the franchise.
Ludacris worked with Walker in the said franchise and he is one of the many people who came to the defense of the late actor. Walked died in a car crash last November 2013. Walker was still able to film some parts for the seventh installment of the film thus he will still be seen in the movie that will be out on April.
According to a source close to Ludacris, whose original name is Christopher Brian Bridges, he is very upset because the jokes of were poor taste and it even silenced the audience. Ludacris was one of the many guests during the roast and he was very close to Walker and treated him like a brother.
According to Entertainment Weekly, Bieber was asked about the jokes regarding Walker and he noted that he was not a fan of it either. Comedy Central released a statement due to this noting that the jokes about Walker will not be in the telecast.
