Ludacris Reacts to Concerns After Drinking Ancient Glacial Water

Ludacris’ actions during a trip to Alaska drinking water directly from a glacier has caused concern online.

It sparked some debate online, as social media users questioned whether it was safe for him to do so.On Monday (August 26), the rapper shared a video of his experience while visiting an Alaskan glacier. “I’ve never tasted fresh glacial water ever in my life, and this is a first,” Ludacris said before filling a bottle with the ancient water. After taking a sip, he was in awe, exclaiming, “Oh my God!” as he savored the taste.

While the hip hop and movie star was thrilled with his experience, some social media users expressed concern. “Be careful with glacier water!” one commenter warned. “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. It can make you extremely sick. Make sure to boil it first to stay safe!”

O’Shea Jackson Jr., Ice Cube’s son, also chimed in on Twitter, humorously asking, “How long ago did he shoot this, and have we been monitoring him?” He also shared a TikTok video from someone who claimed they fell ill for two weeks after drinking water from an Alaskan glacier.

According to the U.S. National Park Service, it’s “essential that you purify natural water” as it may contain bacteria, viruses, or parasites that can cause waterborne diseases, even if it appears clean.

Despite the concerns, Ludacris responded with confidence, stating that he felt invigorated after drinking the glacier water. In a follow-up video, he said, “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. As I drank it, I felt like every cell in my body was being hydrated and rejuvenated at the same time.”

Despite the potential risks, it seems Ludacris had a memorable and refreshing experience.
