Ludacris is opening up about his late friend and co-star Paul Walker.

In an exclusive interview with E! News, the actor and rapper revealed that the new Furious 7 movie will be the perfect way for fans to remember Walker over a year after his untimely death.

"This movie Furious 7 almost didn't see the light of day, so I'm so glad that we're able to finish it and finish it in Paul Walker's honor," the 37-year-old told E! News. "I think people are going to absolutely love, not only the movie, but the ending and how we honor him."

It's no secret the Fast & Furious franchise is a mega-hit with fans, so is Luda ready for an eighth installment?

"There have been talks about a sequel but nothing has been confirmed in terms of Furious 8, but I really feel like we need to let the fans decide whether there's going to be a Furious 8 and we'll work it from there," he revealed. "Right now we kind of need a moment of silence to reflect on this individual who started the franchise. So rest in peace, Paul Walker."

In addition to his new movie, Ludacris also has a brand-new album titled Ludaversal. Luda says of his new music, "It's my most vulnerable album—the old Ludacris mixed with the new Ludacris—it's giving the fans exactly what they want."
