Ludacris was "ready to slap the hell outta somebody" after hearing Paul Walker jokes made during Justin Bieber's roast.
The rapper - who stars alongside the late actor in Fast & Furious
7 - has hit out after comedians joked about his friend's fatal car
crash in November 2013.
Ludacris told Dish Nation: "There were some Paul Walker jokes that were in the roast that I was definitely not feeling at all.

“And I kinda was vocal about it, and I almost didn’t make it through
the Roast because I was ready to slap the hell outta somebody. But I was
a good sport.”
The jokes have been pulled from the Comedy Central broadcast, and the star has explained while roasts are often an 'anything-goes' scenario, he didn't feel it was appropriate topic.
He said: "Let me just say this - aside from the Paul Walker jokes, I
thought it was a great roast. Nobody was safe, we were all laughing at
the jokes on ourselves and joking on everybody else.

"However, you can all agree to disagree with me, I know what was said
and I felt like it was inappropriate and I'm going to stand by that no
matter what anybody says to me.
"That was my freind. I don't give a damn if it was a roast or not, that was my friend."
One particular joke which caused outrage was from comedian Jeff Ross,
who said: "Move b***h, get out of the way, is what Paul Walker
should've told that tree. Too soon? Too fast? Too furious?"
A spokesperson for Comedy Central previously insisted the jokes would
be cut from the upcoming show, saying: "Roasts often push the limits of
good taste ... sometimes the line is discovered by crossing it. The
Paul Walker references will not be in the telecast."
