LL Cool J shocked his fans Monday (3/14/16) when he went to twitter to announce his retirement from the music business.
He tweeted and then deleted, “Today I officially retired from music. Thank you for the love.”
However, it was all revealed to be a joke, with the NCIS: LA actor tweeting shortly after, “Just kidding yall.. I’m not dropping an album… lol focused on my current endeavors.. but that was a hilarious rant..”
He also has a hilarious lip-sync show on Spike TV called “Lip Sync Battle” that brings together some of the biggest performers in entertainment, among them Anna Kendrick, Dwayne Johnson, Emily Blunt, Anne Hathaway, Justin Bieber, Jennifer Lopez, Terrence Howard, and many more have come on the show. He and co-host, John Legend’s wife and model, Chrissy Teigen provide color commentary while the celebrities engage in epic lip sync battles.
Today I’m officially coming out of retirement. And starting a new album .. studio time is set for 8pm.. I’m gonna massacre the rap game!!!

But I should’ve known better. Just a couple of days ago on twitter LL posted him and legendary producer, Dr. Dre, cooking up something in the studio. I should’ve known it was a social media prank.
