Ludacris is the latest celebrity to scare fans by ingesting something potentially dangerous in an Instagram video.
The Fast X actor, 46, took to Instagram on Monday, August 26 to share himself accomplishing something from his “f**k it list.” In the video, he could be seen filling his flask from a pool of water on a glacier, explaining, “I’ve never tasted fresh glacial water ever in my life. And this is a first.”
“Listen man, half the world’s glaciers are here in Alaska, so I couldn’t just come here and do a show,” he said, before scooping up water from a large pool behind him. “Oh my god! Oh!” Ludacris yelled after taking a sip, before running off-screen. He captioned the video, “Water 💧 So Good It Tastes Like GOD Made It. Well, Because He Did 🙏🏾 ❄️.”
Ludacris performs onstage during the Room to Read 2024 New York Gala at TAO Downtown on May 09, 2024 in New York City. In August 2024, he scared fans when he posted a video drinking unfiltered glacial water in Alaska.

Fans quickly flooded his comments with concern, with one person posting, “Be careful with glacier water! Even though it looks fresh and clean, it’s often full of bacteria, parasites, and viruses… Microorganisms you definitely don’t want in your system.”
One fan joked, “Luda I feel like there’s polar bear pee in that water,” though most comments were more serious, like, “Why does that look dangerous?” Another Instagram user commented, “I thought you weren’t supposed to drink still water, is this safe?”
Ice Cube’s son, O’Shea Jackson Jr., was also worried about the rapper, reposting his video on X (formerly known as Twitter), and asking, “…… how long ago did he shoot this and have we been monitoring him?”
The worrying video came a week after Alicia Silverstone scared fans by eating a mystery fruit she plucked from someone’s front yard while on a trip to England in a now-viral video shared to TikTok.
“OK, I’ve discovered something that I can’t figure out what it is and I need your help,” she said in the video, before taking a bite and adding, “I don’t think you’re supposed to eat this.”
To fans’ relief, Ludacris caught on to all the worry more quickly than Silverstone, responding just a day later. He took to X to assure everyone he was alive and well. “Listen man, I’m here. I feel like Superman,” he said.
He also gushed about the glacier water, saying, “Yo, for everybody asking me how that glacier water really tasted, and when I tell y’all I’m a water snob, it was the best-tasting water I’ve ever had in my life.”
“As I drank it, it felt like every cell in my human body was being hydrated and rejuvenated at the same damn time. I had the greatest show in Alaska after that. Just made it to Minneapolis. We got a show tomorrow…” he said, before thanking his fans for all of the love. “There’s different ways of life. I’m just trying to take y’all places, show you things.”
