Ludacris - In 2002, rapper Ludacris was set to star in an ad for Pepsi. Unfortunately, it was later canceled, allegedly due to him using inappropriate language in his music. This happened not long after Bill O'Reilly instituted a Pepsi boycott for using someone he describes as a "rap thug" in their ad campaign.
