LL Cool J kids have always stayed in the public eye, all thanks to their famous Grammy Winner father. The rapper is the proud father of four children, one son, and three daughters. 

LL Cool J is, without a doubt, the hip-hop pioneer. The legendary rapper stepped into the hip-hop industry thirty years ago and does not plan on leaving it anytime soon. 

The rapper has created a legacy for all the young individuals willing to step into the gigantic field of hip-hop. 

LL Cool J received a new round of applause and recognition after he joined a star-studded showcase during the 2023 Grammy Awards to celebrate the 50th anniversary of hip-hop.

The rapper-turned-actor does not only believe in promoting himself, and he has always wanted to present hip-hop as a top-tier genre of music. 

LL Cool J shares four kids with his wife, Simone Smith. The rapper has always spoken highly of his kids and looks like he is as good a father as a rapper. 

The rapper’s eldest child and only son is Najee Laurent Todd Eugene Smith, 32. He has tried to keep himself away from the limelight and seems to be a professional photographer with his own site.

His father’s fans have noticed Najee’s uncanny resemblance to his dad. Italia Anita Maria Smith, 31, is the couple’s second child, and she’s the eldest of their three daughters. 

The talented beauty is a licensed real estate agent and studied at Northeastern University. She got married in 2017 and is currently the mother of two children. 

Samaria Leah Wisdom Smith, 26,  is the third-born child of LL and Simone. She is a graduate of the Fashion Institute of Technology. She opened up her denim brand and does part-time influencing on social media.

Nina Simone Smith, 22, is LL and Simone’s youngest child. Like her dad, she is involved in the music industry as a singer who goes by Nina-Symone. She also has her own YouTube page and regularly vlogs.

Regarding his experience as a father, LL reportedly said, ‘I just try to lead by example, encourage them [and] make sure they can do anything they put their minds to. I’ve always been trying to teach them to believe in themselves and not be limited.’
