Part 2/6:
A Look Back and Looking Ahead
In 2022, LL Cool J graced the iHeart Radio Music Awards stage, and when asked if he would be performing again this year, he hinted at surprises saying, "Stay tuned for the surprise." His playful demeanor suggests he’s not just hosting but also ready to engage with the audience in a memorable way.
The conversation shifted towards the new generation of artists, including Chapel, Sabrina Carpenter, and Taylor, who are currently garnering significant attention. LL Cool J conveyed his excitement for them: "Anytime young artists get to experience an incredible honeymoon moment with fans… I can do nothing but wish them the best." He noted how rewarding it is to witness their meteoric rises, allowing older artists like him to vicariously enjoy their success.
