LL COOL J found himself at the mercy of Twitter after he fired off a controversial tweet on Monday night (November 16). The “Rock The Bells” mastermind had a simple question for all those people unwilling to wear a mask despite COVID-19 cases exploding in record numbers over the past couple of weeks.
“How can you be pro life but unwilling to wear a mask??” he asked.
Following the tweet, LL faced a cascade of polarizing comments including an answer to his question, “Cause we can’t breathe and we’re going to die wearing that mask” to which he said, “Well stay home and live.”
But some people were furious the Def Jam legend made the comparison at all with one Twitter user writing, “How do you compare deliberately killing a tiny human being to wearing a mask?”

LL’s tweet arrived after the Centers For Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) confirmed over 11 million positive coronavirus cases in the United States alone. According to NBC News, a record number of people have been hospitalized with the coronavirus and the U.S. could see 20 million cases by Christmas if the virus keeps infecting people at the current rate.
“The number of new cases for the three-week period ending Monday nearly doubled to 1.9 million from the previous 21-day tally of 1.07 million,” an NBC News analysis of the latest figures showed. “By November 30, if this trend continues, the U.S. could have 13.6 million cases and by December 21, that number at the current rate could climb to 19.9 million.”
Some people think LL has a point, but others aren’t so sure. Check out some of the reactions below.
If LL could currently rap as good as he gaslights lol. Seriously. You can’t compare being pro life to being pro mask. That’s the most ignorant thing I’ve heard this week. You have around a 98-99% chance of making it through the Covid. You have 100% chance of dying if you are going a baby that’s being aborted. How is this even a conversation? TDS is going terminal for a lot of these people. Even they think they won they are still miserable lol.
You spot on man! Glad I’m not the only one who thought this was dumb af.
Yeah, republicans only care about you until you’re born, then they want to sacrifice you to the economy.
If we’re going to go by your logic then I guess I could say you shitty socialist democrats don’t care about human life enough to let a baby try to live. On top of that most of you want the tax payers to pay for the genocide. You should rethink what you say before you regurgitate a stupid talking point.
This is what happens when you’re stupid and separated from truth. Dudes be in Hollywood so long they have no sense of truth. Dumbest shit I’ve heard him say. But I’m not shocked. It’s called sensationalism. That’s our society. Because of it we’ve become desensitized to reality. We feel its no longer enough to speak about what is. We need to create fictional shit that’s exaggerated so we can either find comfort and enjoyment or create meaningless opposition.
masks don’t do shit, they make shit worse. just find the facts. more people that get sick are wearing masks. people need to listen to Jeffrey Tucker on this and they will see that everything being done is the opposite of what should be done.
