Ludacris recently hinted at his involvement in the second season of Fox’s Hip Hop-themed television show Empire.

Taking to his Instagram account this week, Ludacris posted a photo of himself alongside Empire star Terrence Howard, who plays Lucious Lyon.

In the photo, Howard—whose character was sent to jail at the end of the first season—is wearing an orange prison uniform and Ludacris is dressed as a prison officer.

The Atlanta, Georgia native captioned the picture: “This could get interesting..... #empireseason2”

According to Entertainment Weekly, shortly after Ludacris posted the photo, Fox confirmed that the rapper will guest star in an episode of the second season. The publication reports that he will play a “hard-working correctional officer and veteran of the Federal Bureau of Prisons who believes that celebrity inmates should be treated no differently than regular criminals - especially Lucious Lyon.”
