Video Transcript

LYLA: Hi, I'm Lyla.

LUNA: Hi, I'm Luna.

LYLA: And our Dad works for Yahoo, where he interviews celebrities.

LUNA: And now, it's our turn.

LYLA: Today, we're interviewing Ludacris.

LUNA: "Ludicrous" means crazy.

- I am Karma.

- Tell them who's the queen, and I follow my dreams.

- Go, Karma! Go, Karma!

LYLA: Do you make cartoon shows all the time, or is this your first?

LUDACRIS: This is my first time making cartoon kids, and it took a long time. You have to work very hard and be very patient in order to sometimes be as successful as you want to be. But this is my first time.

LYLA: Daddy says you're a super-good rapper.

LUNA: Do you like to rap presents?

LUDACRIS: No, I'm terrible at wrapping presents. I'm only good at rapping in music. I'm really bad at wrapping presents.

LUNA: Do you have songs we can listen to?

LUDACRIS: On "Karma's Word," there's an album coming out on the same day as the entire first season. So you guys will have a whole album to yourselves, like "Karma's World" album.

- So I don't have to play them the radio edits, then?

[MUSIC PLAYING] Move, buddy. Get out the way.

LYLA: Do you know what we call our Daddy?

LUNA: Cootie-boy.

LUDACRIS: Wow.

DAD: Guys, I don't have cooties. Cooties aren't even real.

LUDACRIS: That's a little inappropriate, man. You know, this is getting a little bit beyond what I was talking about. I don't know. Getting personal, it's getting personal now.

LYLA: Daddy says "ludicrious" means super crazy. So, you're like super crazy?

LUDACRIS: Yeah, you could say, beyond crazy, or wild and ridiculous. That's kind of what "Ludacris" means. But when you look at my videos, I have that much fun, and that's really what it's about.

LUNA: What's the craziest thing you've ever done?

LUDACRIS: Probably jump out of a plane.

LUDACRIS (VOICEOVER): You need some fresh air? Because you about to get a whole lot of it.

LUDACRIS: They call it skydiving. I've done that before. It was beautiful. I love it, but I'm a daredevil. Sometimes you have to do fun and scary things.

LYLA: Did you teach your daughter to rap?

LUDACRIS: Yes, a little bit. But I think that sometimes, you know, we have good genetics. So some of the great things that your Dad has, he passed those down to you guys, because you're such great entertainers and good interviewers, I think I passed down a trait that has my daughter able to rap pretty good, as well, without me having to teach her that much.

LYLA: You should teach Luna to rap. Her name could be Lunacris.

LUDACRIS: Lunacris. That's great. I love it. I love it.

LUNA: What's it like having four girls? Is it crazy?

LUDACRIS: To answer for you guys, specifically, it's the greatest thing in the world. It couldn't be better. I wish I had four more girls.

LYLA: Mommy said she'd go crazy if she had four of us.

LUNA: What's the craziest thing you ever bought your daughters?

LUDACRIS: Craziest thing I ever got my daughters? I don't think I've really gotten them anything crazy. I guess the best thing would be this gift of "Karma's World" coming out.

LYLA: We saw a picture of you buying Karma a car.

LUDACRIS: Oh, yeah. That was a crazy thing.

LYLA: Our Daddy never bought us a car.

LUDACRIS: My daughter, she got the car, and then like two months later, she got in a wreck in it. So I don't think I'm going to do that anymore. Luckily, she's OK. But tell your Dad not to buy you guys a car when you turn 16.

LUNA: Ludacris, would you be our dad, too?

DAD: Oh, guys.

LYLA: Maybe you guys could trade kids.

DAD: OK, we're not trading kids, guys. This has gone too far.

LYLA: She'll be Lunacris and I'll be Lylacris.
