Ludacris has announced plans to open a restaurant in Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport, the world's busiest air-travel hub. "Chicken and beer coming soon!" the rapper tweeted.

Ludacris – whose next album, Ludaversal, is reportedly set for release early this year – has been keeping busy with entrepreneurial projects beyond music. The rapper and occasional actor is a co-owner of Conjure Cognac and SOUL By Ludacris, a line of headphones. He also recently partnered with Dosomething.org and Better World Books to restock library shelves in New Orleans.

The rapper joins a growing list of performers moving into the restaurant world. Jon Bon Jovi recently opened a "pay-what-you-can" eatery in Red Bank, New Jersey, former pop stars Mark and Donnie Wahlberg have a new hamburger joint near their home in Massachusetts and Billy Corgan just announced plans to open a tea house in Chicago.

“Youth Knows No Pain”

Lykke Li | 2011

“Like on 'Youth Knows No Pain' — we are the ones that should demonstrate, because we can take it,” Likke Li said. “We can pierce ourselves, take Ecstasy, dance all night and still go to work at our McDonald's jobs.” Despite the hedonistic sentiment in the song, the Swedish singer also admitted in hindsight her youth had repercussions. “I remember when I was 18-19 and feeling that I know it all,” Li said. “I always feel that I know it all. But that song is about realizing you don’t, and reflecting, ‘Boy, if I only knew what would follow.’”
