Another joked, ‘Bro gon discover some ancient disease,’ as yet another gently explained, ‘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..

Despite the concerns, Ludacris shared that he felt like ‘Superman’ after drinking from the glacier.
In a follow-up clip, he exclaimed, ‘For everybody asking me how that glacier water really tasted… when I tell y’all I am a water snob, it was the best tasting water I’ve ever had in my life and as I drank.

The hilarious glacier incident comes after Ludacris playfully highlighted the difference between August and September Virgos as the zodiac season officially began on August 22.
In an Instagram post, the singer, who was born on September 11, offers a comparison of the two types, clearly favoring September Virgos like himself.
‘August Virgos bring a dynamic blend of expressiveness and practicality, influenced by Leo-Virgo cusps energies,’ he said.
‘September Virgos, on the other hand, embrace meticulous organization and analytical prowess, benefiting from Mercury’s influence.’
