Ll Cool J: 'Black Men Are Insecure'

  • 13 January 2006

[LL Cool J](https://contactmusic.6lgx.com/ll-cool-j) fears black men have some growing up to do - as he insists they treat women badly in a bid to bolster their own egos.

The rap star is anxious for his young daughters [Nina Simone](https://contactmusic.6lgx.com/nina-simone), SAMERIA and ITALIA, and is hoping the "tough reality" will soon change.

He says, "As a black male I see a lot of insecurity amongst our men, because we feel like we gotta dog women and make ourselves look better.

"And I say that not to try to judge everybody and make our guys upset, it's the reality of what we're seeing.

"It's become tough on women. Somewhere along the line, a lot of insecure men started really coming down on women in a harsh way."
