Rapper Ludacris and Barack Obama met in the senator’s Chicago office on Wednesday to discuss ways to promote AIDS awareness among teenagers.“We talked about empowering the youth,” said Ludacris, who was in town launching the YouthAIDS “Kick Me” campaign.Before meeting with the senator, Ludacris spoke with students at Evanston’s Northwestern University on the importance of safe sex.“I talk a lot about sex in my music, but you don’t ever hear me talk about condoms,” the Atlanta-based rapper told an audience of 125 students.“I can’t speak for other rappers, but I think it’s important that I let you know to be safe when you’re having sex.
