Luckily no one was hurt in the blaze.  Ludacris, whose real name is Christopher Bridges, was out of town at the time of the Wednesday night fire.  Fulton County Fire Department spokesman Gregory Chambers says a relative was in the basement of the main residence when the fire started and was not injured.

Chambers says the fire was put out within 30 minutes but destroyed the pool house, which he says is larger than most homes.

The fire was being investigated but the cause was not immediately identified.

Ludacris bought the 10,031 sq. ft. home in January 2003 for $2,800,000.

Ludacris was just inducted into Georgia Music Hall of Fame in Atlanta on Saturday (Sept. 20) and is set to co-star in "Max Payne" with Mark Wahlberg.  The movie is based on the hugely popular video game of the same name and will hit theaters on October 17th.
