Three members of LL Cool J's backing group were arrested and charged with the rape of a 15-year-old girl. The incident allegedly occurred after a concert after the girl obtained backstage access through a radio contest.
LL Cool J's second album Bigger And Deffer was certified Platinum. According to the source, he became the first solo rapper to achieve the certification.
Rapper LL Cool J heard an alarm at his home in Los Angeles during the night and ran downstairs to confront alleged intruder Jonathan Kirby. After a struggle in which Kirby suffered a broken nose, jaw, and rib, LL Cool J subdued the intruder, who was subsequently arrested by police.
