Legendary US rapper and actor Ludacris flew under the radar as he arrived at Perth Airport on Tuesday.
The Yeah! hitmaker, who is known for his high-energy performances and acting chops in the Fast & Furious franchise, was in full stealth mode ahead of headlining the highly-anticipated Juicy Fest ’25.
The 47-year-old wore a grey Nike hoodie pulled over his head paired with matching tracksuit pants.
Completing his incognito ensemble, he donned oversized sunglasses and a black face mask, making it clear he was aiming for a quiet arrival.
He looked busy chatting on his iPhone as he strolled through the bustling airport.

Ludacris, who is known for chart-topping hits such as Stand Up and Area Codes, is expected to deliver high-energy performances across the country as part of the Juicy Fest ’25 all star show.
He will perform alongside R&B superstars Ray J, Akon, Montell Jordan, Fat Joe and many more.
The star will first take to the stage in Fremantle, Western Australia on Wednesday, January 15, and then head to Melbourne on the 17th and Sydney the following night.
Juicy Fest promoters Matthew Spratt and Glenn Meikle raved about line-up, saying it was packed with artists responsible for some of R&B and hip hop’s biggest hits of the ’90s, 2000s, and 2010s.
‘Every year we are excited to bring another line-up to Australia and we believe we’ve come up with a high calibre group of artists that people will be excited to see,’ Meikle said.
It comes after fellow Juicy Fest performer Ray J opened up about his working relationship with US president-elect Donald Trump, ahead of his first music tour Down Under.
The One Wish hitmaker, 43, told Daily Mail Australia he was optimistic the Trump administration would be making positive changes for the disadvantaged US urban community, and he would be helping out any way he could.

The singer, who hosts a US political commentary show called The Reality Check and met with Trump in 2022 to talk about job creation, said the Republican may have a spot for him on his administration.
‘You know, it’s looking like it. He’s got four years and I think they will be good. I’m available wherever I can help,’ Ray J began.
The Mississippi-born singer said he planned to work with Trump to introduce education and community programs in disadvantaged urban communities.
‘I can help as far as strategy side and bulding up the urban communities and educating them, and we can start figuring out how we can dominate on the real estate side.
‘There is government funding for certain projects in the neighbourhood, we want to educate the community on how to take advantage of those options. I think the Trump administration can help us moving through!’
He also revealed the very surprising things he loves about life in Australia.
Ray J said he had never performed an actual tour before and was thrilled his first ever would be done Down Under.
‘This is a special tour and Australia is one of my favourite countries. I have been here before by myself, so I love it here so to come back here and perform at a festival is a blessing.’
Ray J added he would be turning 44 on Friday, January 17, the same day he would be performing in Melbourne, and was delighted to be celebrating the occasion in Australia.
