\"LL_ohsodj\"<\/a>After going on a now-deleted Twitter rant, LL Cool J announced Monday (March 14) that he is retiring from music — only to then unretire and announce a new album. <\/p>\n

“Today I officially retired from music,” he initially wrote. “Thank you for the love.” Then … in a quick (& calculated) turn of events, he returned to Twitter just before 8 p.m. ET and announced that he was “officially coming out of retirement” and “starting a new album.” <\/p>\n

Still in Kanye-esque fashion he went on to explain, “I want fans vs haters to start making wagers on my next album… my day 1s should bet big. I got this,” and continued on for about 13 tweets before exclaiming that the whole thing was a joke.<\/p>\n

LL Cool J has had 14 albums on the Billboard 200 chart, one of which — G.O.A.T. Featuring James T. Smith: The Greatest Of All Time — hit No. 1.<\/p>\n

Check out his recent studio time w\/ Dr.Dre. I’m in! <\/p>\n
