    I'm confused...back in the 80's and up to now is the first time I've heard LL bring up his mom. He's always praised his grandmother and not once until now mentioned his mom. Much respect.💪

      Moms had him real young plus she was dealing with a couple of bad domestic violence issues.This is including his estranged father and mothers boyfriend so grandma held it down for the whole fam that's why he praises her so much.

      Probably because of the situation,with his father in his much younger years. Shooting his mother and grandfather.

      Cause his mama wasn't ish. Her first man shot her in from of LL, then her bf after BEAT LL and abused him etc. So im not surprised he praises him grandma

    May God the Father & his son JESUS Christ continue to bless you, your wife & children's lives. Continue to keep him first & he will continue to be with you all. Black love is beautiful & special which is something that majority of blacks don't understand, so y'all stay encouraged & continue to walk as one like God created marriage to be!!

    Funny! My mom used to say the same things to use too! My mom use to say. "I got my education, you have to get yours Towanda!" When. I didn't want to go to school or. I got a bad report card. I am so grateful for my mom getting on my nerves, saying that all the time and look at my now! Graduate from Collage with a 3.7, not bad for the girl that was in the hall way almost everyday for talking and graduate with a C or less from highschool. Life is funny and change is great thing! Remember you can be what ever you desire to be, do what ever you desire to be and DON'T allow ANYONE to tell you any different! Enjoy the journey and stay blessed! 🎎🎎🎎🎎🎎🎎🎎

    LL your very selfish with your life style it's time to come out of your sin of adultery, living an adulterous life will cause the Lord to blow on your blessings until it's all gone please don't look up to late God's willing to keep y0ur blessing flowing in your life, but you have to let go of the adulterous life you live before all mankind, please don't look at this as judging you or, your marriage it's better to be blessed of God than to lose out on all that you have many people are looking on and know what God'sabout to do but would rather see the both of you fall to the ground and without before they will give you a confirmation of God's Fair warning knowing that it's hard to get back up again they've rather to see y'all hit rock bottom then to reach out to help prevent it . It will be a lost cause to many and much hurt and heartache and brokenness of heart ,please see this as a helpful tip and not judging or, judgement Godly Helpful Tip!

      He is truly IS a man with a forgiving heart for HE FORGIVE his mom for her abuse as well forgiving her man friend WHO she ALLOW to beat and ABUSE HIM BADLY WHILE SHE DID NOTHING, NO WAY WOULD I ALLOW ANYBODY TO DO THAT TO MY CHILD ,NOT EVEN HIS REAL FATHER
      I BELEIVE GOOD PARENTS ARE TO PROTECT THEIR CHILD WITH THEIR LIFE,LOVE, CHERISH, FEED THEM WISDOM ,nurtious, TO become the same type of parents
      LL COOL IS MAN WITH A KIND AND FORGIVENING HEART ,AND HUMBLE PERSON, WHEN I SEE HIM (FAMILY)AT MY CHURCH,HE COME AS PERSON TO HEAR THE WORD, NOT A SUPERSTAR OR BE TREATED AS ONE HE SPEAK TO EVERYONE IN THE SAME MATTER
