The rapper responded on social media with a funny TikTok video shared on Twitter explaining his creative choices for his music videos and said he was playing by his own rules.
“Yeah, I was definitely ridiculous, that’s my goal, I make my own rules,” he said. “Playing the guitar on a young lady’s leg…. My father always said when I asked him if he worked out, he’d say, ‘The heaviest thing I lift is a leg.’ I always loved that. I think I should have had two or three girls, though. I should have had a whole band. Drums and all that.”
In his video “Loungin (feat. Total),” where he poured Hershey’s Chocolate Syrup on a woman’s leg, he said he was “wylin'” but should have used more chocolate along with a giant paintbrush.
“Definitely was wylin’,” said Smith. “Although I always felt it should have been more chocolate, maybe using a giant paintbrush or something and just really go in. That’s what I woulda did, now looking back. I should have went a little further with it, but yeah it was unhinged.”
LL also joked he wasn’t too cool for the bus.
“I ain’t too good for public transportation,” he said about another video. “I got to go.”
