- LL Cool J revealed a wild memory of late rapper Ol’ Dirty Bastard, who died in 2004.

- The rapper said that he once received a call informing him that the former Wu-Tang Clan member had urinated on his honorary record plaques.

- “I said, ‘What’d I do?’ I didn’t even understand it,” the “Mama Said Knock You Out” performer said during a new radio show discussion.

LL Cool J has shared a memory that hilariously lives up to late rapper Ol’ Dirty Bastard‘s stage name.

During a new episode of LL’s Sirius XM show *Rock The Bells Radio* with Greg Nice and DJ Z-Trip, the 58-year-old remembered a bizarre incident involving the former Wu-Tang Clan member, who died in 2004 at 35.

“Ol’ Dirty Bastard told me, he said, ‘Yo, Greg, I took you and I took Busta Rhymes and I mixed it together and I made me and now I’m the greatest!’” Nice remembered of the late recording artist during a segment that saw the cohosts reminiscing on wild memories with the recording artist.

“I remember one time Chris Lighty called me up. He’s like, ‘Yo, you got to come down here. You got to come to [Chung King Studios],” LL said, referencing the now-defunct New York City recording studio.

The “Mama Said Knock You Out” performer continued, adding, “I said, ‘What’s wrong?’ He said, ‘For some reason, Ol’ Dirty Bastard just came in here and broke all your plaques and pissed on them.’”

The rapper and Nice began to laugh as they recalled the ordeal.

“I said, ‘What’d I do?’ I didn’t even understand it. I didn’t even understand it,” LL repeated. “I couldn’t understand it! Loved him ever since!”

He finished the conversation by memorializing Ol’ Dirty Bastard with a smile: “Shout out to Ol’ Dirty, man!”

Though Ol’ Dirty Bastard died 22 years ago, Wu-Tang Clan recently returned with a video game project continuing the group’s legacy.

In a press release at the time, the game was described as following the group as they “must pass on their fantastical powers to a new generation of warriors to save their home of Shaolin.”

LL still consistently releases music, with his most recent album, *The FORCE*, dropping in 2024 and debuting at No. 50 on the *Billboard* 200 albums chart.
