"To be honest with you, I didn't have much of a reaction. I wasn't privy to the contact and didn't see much about it. I've only seen the publications of it, and obviously we have to do a better job of managing the situations like that."
Georgia paid Luadcris $65 thousand in addition to food and supplies such as six bottles of liquor and condoms for performing Saturday at G-Day, the football team's intrasquad spring scrimmage.
The contract between Ludacris and Georgia was released by the Macon Telegraph through an Open Records Request.
Ludacris performed for a grand total of 15 minutes, which means he was paid $4,333.33 per minute.
