LL Cool J has opened up about being abused as a child, speaking with Oprah for “Oprah’s Next Chapter.” During the interview, he explained how his mother’s friend used to beat him as a youth, kicking him out into the snow without clothes on and hitting him with household objects.
“A friend of my mother’s. it wasn’t sexual it was just beating, take all your clothes off. Kicked out in the snow, ‘Stay outside,'” he recalled. “Just beaten with vacuum cleaner pipes. Just stripped naked, put your hands on the bunkbed. When you fall down, stand back up.”
The veteran rapper is currently prepping the release of his thirteenth studio album Authentic Hip-Hop, which he announced last November. It is currently unclear if that release date still stands.

Its sad that people including kids go through these type of situations. Theres nothing funny about it. Glad to hear that LL is still making music. I like the new single with Joe.
Canibus said he was getting piped in the but by a father figure
No wonder LL Cool J became a beast.
not to say that it didn’t happen but if this is therapy, LL should’nt get paid to do an interview on this matter. Which makes me think, get sympathetic for him, so he gets more recognition & money, as he gets older, and possibly permanently retire from rapping. public relations is HUGE in marketing.
This is old. He already told it on “Father”.
Witch was dope BTW…
…LOL ANYTHING TO STAY RELEVANT,SELL AN ALBUM OR WRITE A BOOK,NEXT KIM K GONNA SAY SHE WAS ABUSED BY A BLACK MAN AS A KID THATS WHY SHE LIKES BROTHERS…CRY ME RIVER BUILD A BRIDGE AND GET OVER IT.
Spoken like a true gossip follower. Applaud yourself……..
angry nerds will forever stay typing bullshit comments, while ll keeps getting that show money.. stay angry..
dam my dad use to do the sme shit to me too, he use to mke me take all my clothes off and do chores outside with everyone looking, i think thats why im such a potead now
yeah yeah, nigga’s career is over and now starts to bitch about he was beaten. Well LL my childhood wasnt all so not that great so stop crying.
You dumb fuck, Oprah doesn’t interview black entertainers that don’t have a career. LL is getting that CBS NCIS money and he hosting the Grammys hows that for not having a career? According to your dumb ass.
fuck you seriously. LL career is nowhere near being over. You wish you were him. Real fucking dumb ass.
@anomynous
You truly are a dumbass muthafucka!!!!!!
No wonder he beat that robber down. He was venting and probably crying from inside.
No, he beat the robber because he likely found the intruder to be a threat to his family & safety
………..idiot.
Respect to LL Cool J. It’s really hard as a man to be vulnerable in public.
oh, THAT kind of abuse
“The veteran rapper is currently prepping the release of his thirteenth album Authentic Hip-Hop, which he announced last November. It is currently unclear if that release date still stands.”
WHICH RELEASE DATE???
Just wanted to add this; “All the World: Greatest Hits” is considered an official part of LL’s catalog numerically, which is why his last album for Def Jam is called “Exit 13”. Because, for all intent and purposes, that was his 13th album.
That makes his next release his 14th LP.
Jus Sayin
and not a single fuck was given that day…
Didn’t LL kill his own father in self defense or somthing?
LL should open up about being abused by Kool Moe Dee
tomorrows donkey of the day right here
