LL Cool J sat down with Gillie and Wallo for ‘Million Dollaz Worth of Game’ and talked about many topics, including past beefs with artists over the course of his career. While on that subject, LL’s battle with Canibus was brought up. 

“With him, I think it was more my fault because I could have addressed him a little differently,” said LL to Gillie and Wallo. He continued saying, “He wanted to get a tattoo like mine. I could have said, ‘Good luck with that,’ but I didn’t understand that path at that time. I wasn’t there yet mentally so I was like, ‘The fuck you mean you gonna get something like me?’ That shit sounded crazy to me at that time.”  

The legendary rapper gave more insight into his mindset, ultimately reaching a tipping point on his song “4,3,2,1,” featuring DMX, Method Man, Redman, and Canibus. “My brain was not developed, I was not developed like that…Now I understand it was a compliment, he was just showing love and, you know, admiration. That’s why I don’t go at him now or try to hurt these dudes. I’m not gonna play that,” said LL. Watch above.
