LL COOL J is one of the most iconic rappers of all time, but the self-proclaimed G.O.A.T. just got slighted by President Joe Biden.
The Democratic President honored the “Headsprung” rapper and MC Lyte at the Congressional Black Caucus Phoenix Awards on Saturday (September 23). But the two legends’ moment in the sun was dampened by Biden’s flubbing of Uncle L’s name and referring to him as “boy.”
“Two of the greatest artist of our time, representing the groundbreaking legacy of Hip Hop in America,” Biden began. “LL Jay Cool J…uh…by the way, that boy, uh, that man’s got bigger biceps than my thighs.”
Check it out below.
Reactions to the flub were mixed, with some commenters noting that Biden’s advanced age of 80 makes everyone a “boy” in his eyes.
“Politically incorrect but when you’re 85 everybody under 70 is a boy to you, lol,” wrote one commenter.
“It’s important to focus on the substantive policy issues at hand, rather than individual gaffes, to form a comprehensive opinion about a leader’s competence and intentions,” another said.
However, other commenters weren’t as forgiving.
“As always, can you imagine if any Republican said that? Would be leading the Sunday morning shows,” wrote one Twitter user, while another wrote: “When Joe Wilson shouted ‘Liar,’ the New York Times wrote an entire piece about the implied ‘Boy’ in his statement. Biden actually uses the word and gets a pass?”
What made the gaffe against LL COOL J more interesting was that the rapper-turned-actor had worked with the Biden administration before.
Last December, the “Mama Said Knock You Out” rapper got the rare chance to light the National Christmas Tree alongside President Joe Biden and his wife, First Lady Jill Biden.
The tree lighting took place outside the White House on November 30, but the actual TV event aired on December 11, with LL serving as the host for the big show.
“The most epic selfie you’ll see today,” he wrote in an Instagram post documenting the occasion. “Such an honor to be lighting the National Christmas Tree with The President of The United States.”

He’s a Democrat. Everybody knows that the Democrat Party is the party of slavery and Jim Crow. Blacks who are Democrats are the real sellouts.
That has to be one of the dumbest comments ever. Does anything coherent ever come out of a Trumptard’s mouth?
Carlos Brigante, nobody won’t waste his or her time arguing with you about the Democrat Party, aka the party of the Ku Kkux Klan. It’s not a secret that Robert Byrd, a known Democratic racist and Klan member, was Hilary Clinton’s mentor. Also, it’s not a secret that Robert Byrd, a known Democrat racist who was proud of it was Joe Biden’s mentor.
Strom Thurnan was Biden’s mentor
Yeah yeah, democrats did shitty things to black people in the past. Republicans are doing shitty things to black people in the present. What’s more concerning, shit that happened to their ancestors or shit that’s happening to them now on a daily basis? Shut your dumbass up. White people always say “slavery was so long ago, get over it” but when it comes to hating democrats “never forget!” You’re the same hypocrites who banned abortion but when it came to wearing face masks, you screamed “my body, my choice”
Mhm, again, no one should be surprised at Biden for calling LL Cool J boy because his mentor was a known racist. That wasn’t Biden’s first time calling a black man boy.
Go read a history book instead of cherry picking it.
it was the Demonrats pushing masks, are you brain dead like your president???
Ll cool j thinks they like him. boy was he wrong
Americans are weird
Trump wouldn’t have said this. Great work, America.

The dude is old, ask any old person to name some famous rappers and you’re going to a lot of Jazzys, Kenny West and Snoopy dogs. I swear people love to make something out of nothing.
There you have it. Leader of the free world, and he can be one slip up away from a war. He recently disrespected the president of Brazil. Question is; who are the Libs going to push for president now that the media is turning on Biden?
Welcome to the demoncrats. He’s just showing his true colours. Kkk without the hoods.
