It seems Ludacris wasn't joking when he stated that he wanted to pit a male vs. a female inside the ring with lyrics as the rapper is waging war with the opposite sex for the upcoming project Battle of the Sexes.

Originally planned to be Luda vs. Shawna, her move to Nappy Boy, reportedly, negated her presence on the project and provided a window of opportunity for other female rappers to flex their muscle and represent for this gender.  Lil Kim, Eve, Trina and Nicki Minaj are some of the contenders that have decided to go against the rapper/actor.

Male rappers have stood up to come to the aid of Ludacris with artists such as Ne-Yo, Flo Rida and Plies being named as being part of the project, which will be released on March 16.

After recently dropping the visual for “How Low”, things are still undergoing the process before hitting the finish line as production is said to come from the likes of Swizz Beatz, Pharrell, Bangladesh and J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League.

For the male contenders out there, here's a reminder to some things you might be up against.  Study, study hard, and let the battle begin.  To the victor goes the riches.

Damn...Not too much lyrics can do to contest with that. Best of luck.
