U.S. Navy base to witness Ludacris performance on 4th of July

You may want to add a 'Guantanamo Bay visit' to your to-do list for the US Independence day celebration as rapper Ludacris is putting on a show for the folks out there on July 4th.

The Grammy Award winning rapper will headline the annual Freedom Festival with roughly 6,000 military personnel in attendance. The festival will begin with family activities at 6pm and the music kicks off at 10pm, the independent reported.

"Every year we get a special guest around the Fourth of July, but Gitmo hasn't seen a star with as big a name as Ludacris in several years," Navy Chief Monique Hilley told Radio Gitmo, adding "The base is really looking forward to it."

Former performers at the base include Jimmy Buffett in 2002, Jimmy Eat World in 2014, Magic! in 2015 and The Plain White Tees played last October.

The festival will be held miles away from the Detention Center Zone, far enough that inmates will not be able to hear the southern rapper's greatest hits such as 'Move B**ch,' 'What's Your Fantasy?' and 'Area Codes.
