In the latest issue of Ebony magazine, LL Cool J is again asked about rumors of plastic surgery and steroid use that have followed him throughout the latter part of his career.
"Weak" and "flawed," that’s the way he describes those who say that he has taken steroids and has had plastic surgery to sculpt his abs.
"There have been a lot of questions, a lot of speculation. To be real frank, there are so many people speculating over what they think that I am doing. Is he doing steroids? Did he get plastic surgery?” he says.
"It speaks more about the people who are making comments than it does about me. It tells me that they cheat and they’re cheaters. They are not willing to make the sacrifices necessary, and go through the pain necessary, in order to get in the best shape they can possibly be. So they don’t believe I would be willing to do it either. So it is really more about their weakness, and less about mine. It doesn’t make me feel anything other than that it is unfortunate that people are weak like that. They are weak. It points out their flaws."
LL calls them the "yeah right" crowd, people who have to see it to believe it.
"It’s like if I described everything that Michael Jordan did in a game, and you never saw it, so you didn’t want to believe it," he says.
"But he really did it. The reality is that I really do go into the gym, and I didn’t have surgery, and I didn’t do steroids. I really do work out hard, and I really do diet. I really did do it. I really did dunk."
