Ludacris is bringing the Def Jam South era back to life with a surprise reunion featuring his longtime DTP (Disturbing tha Peace) family for a new Frank’s RedHot commercial.
The ad reunites Ludacris with Shawnna, Chingy, I-20, and producer DJ Infamous, marking the first time the full DTP crew has appeared together in years. The group famously helped define Southern hip-hop in the early 2000s, delivering a string of chart-topping hits and platinum albums.
Fans quickly took to social media to celebrate the reunion, praising the nostalgic moment and the clever use of hip-hop history in a mainstream brand campaign. For many, the commercial feels like a reminder of DTP’s impact on the culture—and a rare moment of unity from one of rap’s most influential collectives.
The Franks Red Hot spot not only taps into nostalgia, but also highlights how hip-hop legends continue to evolve, finding new ways to stay visible while honoring the eras that made them icons.
