History is in the making and LL Cool J is a part of it all. The celebrity father was the first rapper to receive an honor from the Kennedy Center this past weekend. All members of the Smith family were present to support LL.
“Congratulations on being the first rapper to be awarded by the Kennedy Center,” the youngest member of the family, Nina, shared on Instagram after the event concluded. “You’re a blessing Pops,” she continued. “Hip-Hop wouldn’t be the same without you .. we thank you. I love you forever, big homie.” Samaria and Italia also shared pictures across their social media platforms that honored their father for his accomplishment.
