On July 30, a woman named Therra took to Twitter to explain and the interaction she had with the Atlanta-based rapper while in line at Whole Foods, and E! News has confirmed her account. Therra called her chance encounter with Ludacris “the most amazing, infusion-of-joy thing.”
So what exactly happened at Whole Foods?
In a nutshell, Ludacris purchased Therra’s groceries. But there’s more—so much more—to this moving story.
In her first tweet, Therra wrote, “He was ahead of me in line when the food for my 4 rescued dogs & 2 rescued cats (and elderly, a blind chicken named Dixie Licklighter) ended up in with his stuff.”
Therra, immediately taken aback, began to cry. She compared the “Roll Out” rapper to modern-day superheroes: “I stared wide-eyed at this handsome young stranger as if he’d just dropped through the ceiling like a black James Bond, like a Batman, like the Black Panther.” (Perhaps coincidentally, Ludacris posted an Instagram earlier in the week of him holding a pair of Nike high tops with the caption “Wakanda Forever B—-ttttccchhh!!!”)
I was in shock. The total ended up being $375.
He asked me about my rescued dogs. We small talked but I tripped over my words, all the while thinking, "I'm talking to an angel. Should I tell him? Should I tell him he's an angel?" I kept thanking him. After he paid my tab

Ludacris and Therra engaged in some “small talk” after the total of the groceries ended up costing $375. “I’m talking to an angel,” she recalled.
Therra did not realize this mystery man was Ludacris, for he merely introduced himself as “Chris.” When she asked, “Who ARE you?” he replied, “Just a guy.”
Therra’s “rough time” involved many facets of her home and personal life. Her husband died of brain cancer, “and climbing out of that hole, emotionally, physically and financially, has devastated me for four years.”
In the end, Therra hopes her moment with Ludacris will inspire others and herself. “He used his personal light to fire up my own. Isn’t that what we should be doing for each other?” she tweeted.
She has 4 words for all of us to follow: “Be like Ludacris y’all.”
