Ludacris made a surprise visit to Hialeah-Miami Lakes Senior High School and donated $75,000 worth of musical instruments.
In 2015, StubHub and Mr. Hollandβs Opus Foundation partnered to bring millions of dollars in instruments to Title I schools with strong music programs. They also partnered with Ludacris.
βYou can feel the energy. You can feel how much love there is in this room,β said Ludacris, βnot only for their band director and their band teacher, but surprising them and giving them $75,000 worth of equipment, which is obviously something great to boost confidence. It feels phenomenal. It feels great.β
He told WSVN he has to pay it forward — and lead by example.
βI always say, βWith great power comes great responsibility,β and I literally just landed about an hour ago, and this is the first place that I came to,β he explained.
Ludacris also gave the schoolβs band director, Kevin Segura, two tickets to Sundayβs Super Bowl game in Miami Gardens.
Ludacris also brought his mother for the surprise donation. She heads the Ludacris Foundation, which supports children in Atlanta, Georgia.
As for the students, they could barely contain their excitement.

Honestly, it was crazy. Like, Iβm sill speechless about it, especially with the instruments,β Juan said to WSVN. βJust seeing Ludacris. Iβm very excited.β
βIt means so much to the program, so that we can expand, so we can grow, so we can do more, so Iβm really, really happy about it allβ
