The almost three-minute-long video showed LL Cool J in a black sweatshirt with the phrase "Black Lives Matter" written across it while he donned a black beanie.

The lines which were delivered with such frenzy and fury told the story of how racism and the all too frequent killings of unarmed black men and women needed to end. The opening lines of the lyrics said:

"For four hundred years, you had your knees on our necks. A garden of evil with no seeds of respect."

The lyrics went on to discuss how George Floyd was killed by the now dismissed police officer Derek Chauvin and how it is unsafe for a person to be Black due to people judging based on color.

LL Cool J is not only a singer, rapper, and entertainer but also a family man. He is married to his long time girlfriend Simone and together they have four children.

Aside from lending his voice to the injustice, LL Cool J, whose name is James Todd Smith, was also a pillar of strength for his wife when she battled with a rare form of bone cancer.

While he has managed to balance family life and a flourishing career, LL Cool J has always had the support of his fans, and this time is enough proof of how much he is adored.
