Another joked: “Bro, you’re going to uncover some ancient disease,” while another helpfully explained: “Be careful with glacier water! 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 seriously ill. Make sure you boil it first to be safe!”
Even more mocked the star, with one person sharing: ‘Don’t lie, you’re out there filming Fast and Furious.’
Another chimed in: “I got a little anxious watching this and was worried you might slip.”
Ice Cube’s son, O’Shea Jackson Jr., also reacted to the video and joined in on the fun, joking, “How long ago did he film this and we’ve been monitoring it?”
Despite concerns, Ludacris shared that he felt like ‘Superman’ after drinking from the glacier.
In a follow-up clip, he exclaimed: ‘For everyone asking me what glacier water actually tasted like… when I tell you I’m a water snob, it was the best tasting water I’ve ever had in my life and while I was drinking it.
“I felt like every cell in my human body was being hydrated and rejuvenated at the same time.”

The hilarious glacier incident comes after Ludacris playfully highlighted the difference between August and September Virgos when the zodiac season officially began on August 22.
In an Instagram post, the singer, who was born on September 11, offers a comparison of the two types, clearly favoring September Virgos like himself.
‘August Virgos bring a dynamic blend of expressiveness and practicality, influenced by the energies of the Leo-Virgo cusp,’ she said.
‘September Virgos, on the other hand, adopt meticulous organization and analytical prowess, benefiting from the influence of Mercury.’
