Well, that was fast. After a brief engagement, Ludacris married his longtime girlfriend, Eudoxie Mbouguiengue, just before the New Year began.
On Tuesday (Jan. 6), Luda posted a photo of himself and his new wife looking happily in love.
“Why wait? Did the thing before 2015,” reads the caption.
Meanwhile, Mbouguiengue posted a series of photos from the nuptials on her Instagram account.
It appears the 27-year-old blushing bride wore a floor-length white dress and carried a small bouquet of white and lavender flowers, while Luda simply donned a tuxedo with no tie.
Great way to go into the new year!” she wrote.
The couple got engaged during their holiday trip to Costa Rica. The Atlanta rapper rented a private jet and surprised his ladylove with a written message decorating the ground, which read, “Eudoxie will you marry me?”
Ludacris has been dating Mbouguiengue since 2009. The two have appeared together at several red carpet events.
We wish Ludacris and Eudoxie many years of marital bliss.

Rowdy Rebel Drops 'She All About the Shmoney' Featuring Bobby Shmurda and Too $hort
The legal issues hanging over Rowdy Rebel and Bobby Shmurda are still there. But so is the demand for new music from them. The former doesn’t stop the latter, as Rowdy Rebel’s ‘She All About the Shmoney’ hits the Internet. The new cut features Shmurda and west coast mainstay Too $hort.
The bass isn’t as big of a presence as it was on ‘Shmoney Dance’ and “Hot Boy,’ but the urgency is still there. ‘She All About The Shmoney’ basses itself off claps and an alarming key riff. ‘Shmoney Dance’ drew some instant comparisons to the Chicago scene, but this jam has closer connections to the Bay Area, so it makes sense that Too $hort fits in here. The live fast mentality is still there, though.
“Damn she look good when she back that ass up/ Damn I look good when I stack the cash up,” Rebel raps, referencing the Juvenile classic.
A misleading Instagram video started rumors that at least Bobby Shmurda was out of jail, but a Rikers Island rep confirmed this was not the case and he’s still in custody.

Big K.R.I.T. and Raphael Saadiq Perform 'Soul Food' on 'The Tonight Show' [VIDEO]
Warm and positive vibes were felt through the TV last night (Jan. 5) when Big K.R.I.T. performed ‘Soul Food’ on ‘The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,’ with the help of Raphael Saadiq and the Roots. The song is off the rapper’s sophomore album, ‘Cadillactica.’
Dressed in all black and rocking an Andre 3000-inspired T-shirt with the saying “Across cultures darker people suffer most. Why?” the Meridian, Miss. artist rhymed passionately, as the former Tony! Toni! Tone! frontman sung the hook and played bass guitar.
‘Soul Food’ examines the reasons why people have diminished the importance of family and friends in their lives. K.R.I.T.’s lyrics suggest that we should slow down and enjoy life’s simple pleasures. That message came through loud and clear during the performance.
It’ll be interesting to see what the 28-year-old has in store on the music front in 2015. Watch him serve up some soulful rhymes above.

Nike Air Force 1 High 'Nai Ke'
Nike looks to help China ring in the new year with a slamming new Air Force 1 silhouette. The understated look even gives us a lesson in linguistics thanks to its name, which is actually the Chinese pronunciation of the word Nike.
With a clean white upper accented by red, the Nike Air Force 1 High ‘Nai Ke’ is as fun to look at as it is to pronounce. The colorblocking applied to the model is as traditional as they come but a red suede swoosh peeks out to throw some texture into the mix. The extra flair is provided by Chinese lettering embroidered on the heel tab, which seals the deal.
These are set to release before the month is up and you can best believe they’ll be in China. Hopefully, stateside Nike retailers will get them too.

XLarge x Converse Spring 2015
XLarge isn’t letting the year start off without a bang as they’ve already unveiled their latest collaboration with Converse. In total, we’re given two great new silhouettes to fawn over and it’s feeling like love at first sight.
The Converse CX-2 Ox is probably going to be everyone’s favorite since the sneaker comes in a canvas duck camo upper, but don’t sleep on the Converse Chevronstar HB OX. The sneaker has a similar feel yet keeps things simple with a tonal white or blue upper licked with slick, leather accents.
These are set to hit select Converse stockist in February 2015, which could be agonizing if you consider how long of a month January is.

Eminem Sued for 'Lookin' Boy' Sample on 'Rap God'
Eminem’s ‘Rap God’ may have earned a spot in the ‘Guinness Book of World Records,’ but a rap group is angry that he sampled their song without permission.
According to TMZ, Raymond Jones, otherwise known as Raydio G in the Chicago rap group Hotstylz, claims that the Detroit rapper sampled their 2008 song, ‘Lookin’ Boy’ (aka ‘Lookin’ Ass N—-’), on ‘Rap God.’
Jones seeks $8 million in damages from Em and his label, Shady Records, as well as Interscope Records.
In November 2013, Hotstylz released a diss track called ‘Rap Fraud’ because they felt Eminem disrespected them for not reaching out.
“At first we was like, “Aight, cool,” but at the same time, we was like, “F— Eminem,” because he didn’t reach out to us,” Jones told XXL magazine. “He took so much of the record. That just don’t sit right with us. The thing is they used so much of the song, he could have reached out. He could have reached out to us directly, he could have found a way to reach out to us through some kind of channel.”
“On some real s— though, Eminem did not only use the beat to ‘Lookin Boy,’ because the track had change into our beat. But he actually used our lyrics, the style of the “Lookin Boy” song,” he continued. “And the part that he used from JJ Fad is so minimal. For him to give them credit on the album and overlook us is a slap in the face. That was just s— on top of s—. At first you ain’t reach out through the phone. Then we look at the album. This some bulls—.
Eminem’s attorneys had no comment on the legal matter.
