It only takes a quick glance at Nnocent to know that there is something unique about him. So unique that hip-hop’s super rap artist Ludacris and the Ludacris Foundation will recognize the 11-year-old recording artist for inspiring youth through his positive message on Wednesday May 11th at 8PM at The Ludacris Foundation 2nd Annual Benefit Dinner, “A Night of Art and Elegance.” The event will be held at The Mason Murer Fine Arts Gallery located at 199 Armour Dr., Atlanta, GA and co-hosted by rap artist Ludacris and BET Comicview Comedian Nard Holston.

“I am so honored and excited to be recognized by an esteemed recording artist such as Ludacris and the foundation. It is great to know that the foundation stands behind the dreams of young people,” expressed the enthusiastic Nnocent.

The Ludacris Foundation is a non-profit organization created to help young people achieve their dreams through the encouragement of "Principles of Success." The Foundation aims to show young people in America they are the builders of their future primarily using music and the arts to connect with young people by listening to their views, issues, and challenges. Their efforts reach youth at all age levels.

Chris "Ludacris" Bridges, Kim Hutchens, William Engram, and Chaka Zulu are the inspiration for the development of The Ludacris Foundation. “Nnocent has been a great support to the Ludacris Foundation.  He has worked tirelessly to help us reach our goals.  We are happy to honor Nnocent and the birth of a long lasting relationship,” says Hutchens.  Deep-rooted tradition of Community Service and the celebrity status has helped broaden the awareness of the foundation. The Ludacris Foundation was formally established in December of 2001 to sustain their commitment to make a difference in the lives of youth.
