LL COOL J has answered the infamous “money or dinner with JAY-Z” question by letting people know he’s never been invited to the Roc Nation brunch of lore.
During a recent stopover at Big Boy’s iHeartRadio show on Monday (May 1), the “Mama Said Knock You Out” rapper — who was on the show to talk about his upcoming F.O.R.C.E. tour — told the veteran radio host about the times that he and Hova used to riff on each other’s raps when they were teenagers. But though the pair have a friendly relationship, replete with the requisite good-natured ribbing, the NCIS: Los Angeles star has never been invited to the infamous Roc Nation brunch.
“Look, I hardly remember that stuff,” he told Big Boy when asked about him laughing at JAY-Z’s raps when they were younger. “I love everybody. I don’t have no problems with none of these guys, man. If I laughed — okay, so what? Laugh at me. How many people have you laughed at, or snapped on, in the lunch room?”
He continued: “I don’t even remember it! I laughed at you, so now I can’t have no brunch?”
Perhaps LL COOL J can angle for an invite to an upcoming Roc Nation brunch after he finishes the F.O.R.C.E. Tour, which Questlove recently said would be like the Grammys on steroids.
During an Instagram live stream featuring Questlove and Black Thought of The Roots on Saturday (April 29), the three men engaged in some friendly banter before diving into the nitty-gritty of what fans can expect from their The F.O.R.C.E. Live tour, which is set to kick off on June 25 in Boston.
“You’ve done arena tours before. I’ve done arena tours before. But I’ve never really felt like they were mine,” Quest shared. “They were always, like, festivals, or opening up for other acts. This is super major, man.”
“You know what I’m excited about, Quest?” LL replied. “When the first snare hits, like…it ain’t stoppin’. We goin’ hard. This is going to be a show unlike anything … I haven’t done an arena tour in many years, you know what I’m sayin’? And I put all my energy into making this thing right. This is like everything we’ve ever done on super-roids. So it’s going to be way more than you can imagine, you know what I’m sayin’?”
“I’m not trying to reinvent the wheel,” said Questlove. “But, I’m also trying to give people something that they’ve never seen before…the way we’re formatting the show, it’s going to be like the Grammys performance on steroids.” Questlove produced a star-studded Hip Hop tribute at The Grammys to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of Hip Hop.
But, most exciting of all for fans of the “Hey Lover” rapper is the teaser that new music is on the way, and it will prominently feature another Hip Hop heavyweight.
“Q-Tip did all the production, all the beats,” he said. “There will be some new music coming in the next couple of weeks or so.”
E40 was on the invite, but no Cool J? I know he feels some kind of way about that lol
Canibus was invited and not LL lmao.
Seriously?
That would he dope to see an underground rappers rapper get invited and not LL. LL has been hatin on Jay ever since he was named president of DefJam over him.
With good reason. Jz a snake. a closet & a bitch w a lil talent. Poor Bae stuck w this pimp.
Don’t give him pimp cred please lol
Despite what this article says, I don’t believe Jay-Z and LL are friends. I remember LL getting pissed when Jay-Z was the head of Def Jam. Probably the reason he wasn’t invited to the brunch.
Cool j don’t give a shit about the brunch he’s got to deal running his rock the bells network
F Jays He need to be in prison right beside All the other child rapist molester for what he did to that under age girl he was sleeping with y’all know that rapper. I dare y’all to speak her name. OH let me say allegedly.
LL don’t care nothing about no brunch with Jay, heck I’m a regular guy and I wouldn’t care about going. James Todd is too busy on TV Shows, Movies, About Tours not brunch. Not sure how they made Jay President of Def ?Jam and had LL, DMX and other veterans working under him. none of whom were happy with that situation. It was disrespectful as “F” not to mention Jay screwed Dame, Biggs and Beans. Jay a snake. Biggs had the Roc start up money; Dame had the business connects, and Jay was the talent. They were the perfect team then Jay let the executives get in his ear; Dame started talking down too the White execs, Biggs is the only one who kept it without ego, but Jay is a snake. Bleek and Ty-Ty the only ones Jay tried to keep it real with

Mildred White , please just stop it wasn’t R KELLY enough , that’s the exact way Y’ALL got him jailed . Did JAY Z promised you something or what!! 📀💰👜💊💲
Bring’em out, bring him” out! Lol…
LOL!!!!
Jay Z is evil and his time soon to end.. Why would a genuine kind minded person break bread with a dark soul. People are tired if these dysfunctional humans like diddy and jay z.. We have the money and power actually and we NEED to stop giving it to people who has no good will to protect and uplift the community but is actually the virus within the culture

Whoa-Whoa Whoa!!! This will probably be one of the BOLDEST, yet Truest Comment to be pushed hard & that many will reject its TRUTH!!! I Love it & your Spiritual Discernment!!
Who cares. They might not be besties. I know hip hop culture is about violence, beefin,’and who is the best, but these men are 54 and 55 years old. There is more to life than trying to make some issue about an invite to a party. They are successful men who are still alive.
I’m a fan of them both. People need to grow up. Hip hop culture is so negative non stop competition for no reason. SMH!
LL seat you ass down. Dude not even a good rapper by much measures.
Please make sure you read your comment dude before you go on LL like that learn how to talk English lol
Is hip-hop so petty that an invite to a stupid brunch is now a big deal? LMAO! Y’all need to quit it with the Jay d**kriding. LL stay a legend. His legacy solidified in the game.
Great point! Great Comment!!
Much respect to Cool J, but he hasn’t really been ACTIVELY releasing music in a long time.
