Ludacris' ridiculous ab fail was all a stunt

Ludacris shows off his ridiculously unreal abs in the new video for Vitamin D.

Ludacris had the internet in a spin over his ridiculous abs that take a prominent role in his latest video.

But it turns out it was all done on purpose.

The rapper, known for his starring role in the Fast and the Furious franchise, dropped his new music video for Vitamin D yesterday.

In it, he sported a well honed set of abs bursting out from underneath a black jacket.

Many thought the rapper was trying to pass off his toned torso as real.

Others believed it to be a major Photoshop fail.

On a scale of real to Ludacris, how is your torso?

But it turns out the rapper - who did something similar with his arms in the video for Get Back - was trolling everyone on purpose.

"I did a lot of sit ups for that," he joked when a user tweeted, "Yo but why Ludacris six pack look like it was done at Sephora".

He also joked about buying a fake chest plate from Amazon for $10.
