Justin Bieber reunites with Ludacris for iconic ‘Baby’ throwback

Justin Bieber appeared surprisingly on Sports Illustrated The Party alongside Ludacris on Saturday, 7 February.

This linkage to the Ludacris play was the moment of nostalgia, at the Cow Palace in San Francisco, 20 years after the song first propelled Bieber into the global limelight.

As the rapper was speaking to the big crowd of VIP party attendees, he punched, "Make some noise for my brother Justin Bieber," adding, "Make some f---ing noise."

Ludacris disclosed the presence of the Baby crooner in the venue before starting his song, and dedicated it to him.

He performed the track on his own on stage with the original vocals of Bieber being played over the speakers. 

The song got a new dimension when Bieber climbed the barricades to get on the stage to hug Ludacris in an emotional embrace.

"Careful, be careful!" Ludacris jested into the mic when Bieber got himself up over the gates.

t is worth mentioning that one of the star-studded audience included Bieber and his wife, Hailey Bieber, whom PEOPLE magazine had already spotted as a couple walking into the venue

The Chainsmokers also had surprise guests like the beau of Taylor Swift, Travis Kelce, who came up on stage to accompany the band.

This cameo of Bieber, a week later after he returned to the Grammys, was just after his performance of Yukon, a song from his new album SWAG.
