Ludacris's new single "Vitamin D" features a guest appearance from Ty Dolla $ign and a video in which he is seen displaying a curiously CGI-ed torso. Jokes about his "GTA abs" flowed on Twitter as soon as the visuals dropped.

Ludacris took the responses in good humor to his "ludicrously ignorant" video though, informing his followers that the effect was deliberate and supposed to look a little over the top and unbelievable.

It's ok they slow RT @chris_oneto: he's supposed to have CGI & he looks at them at the end of the video & sees em gone. It's intentional

This isn't the first time Ludacris has taken advantage of some trickery to look a little more ripped, as anyone who remembers the glorious "Get Back" video will testify.
