He also reportedly went into a now-deleted mini-Twitter spree.
Earlier on Monday, LL took to Twitter for a Kanye-esque rant (which the rapper later deleted, also in Kanye fashion), writing, “I want fans vs haters to start making wagers on my next album… my day 1s should bet big. I got this,” and continued on for about 13 tweets before exclaiming that the whole thing was a joke. (Billboard)
Last year, LL discussed putting together his long-awaited Greatest Of All Time 2 solo album.
“I’m working on G.O.A.T. 2. I’m taking my time with it. I’m having a lot of fun, and I have some really cool people on the record. It’s coming together slowly, so we’ll see. When it’s ready, I’ll put it out. It can be really tough. You’ll find a lot of artists that aren’t completely happy with their records. You have hits, you have flops. You have hits that you thought were going to be flops and flops that you really thought were going to be hits, and everything in between.” (Forbes)
LL previously talked about working with rap star Eminem.
“Me and Em have a song. He just recently let me hear his verse and it’s crazy. He’s chainsawin’ sh*t. It’s good, it’s good. I think people are gonna be pleasantly surprised when they hear me and him on a record together.” (Rap-Up)
Goodluck man!
