As the 59th Mayor of Atlanta, Kasim Reed has been at the helm for the last four years — but took a break from his duties earlier this week to pop into the Dish Nation studio where he dished on some of his favorite ATL celebrities.
Reed, 45, is so tuned into the city that he says he often runs into famous faces like rapper Ludacris, goes to Outkast concerts, and even hangs with Usher at his house to smoke cigars!
“Usher and I hang out, I go over to his house to smoke cigars,” the Mayor revealed.
“And Ludacris, I just see him everywhere.”
When drilled on what celebrity Reed would see fit to take over his role as Mayor, he joked, “That’d be Jermaine Dupri. He already calls himself the Mayor! So he already taking over.”
Known as home to some of the finest gentlemen’s clubs in the nation, we had to ask Reed his suggestion for the best strip club in Atlanta.
“This is tough,” he said. “But before I became Mayor I’d recommend Magic City — based on my brother’s recommendation!”
Reed also reveals he stays up late to watch Dish Nation with his daughter.
