LEEDS have a surprise new celebrity fan – in the shape of rapper LL Cool J.

The bombshell revelation was made on Twitter this weekend and caught almost everyone by surprise.

The 53-year-old New Yorker posted a video on social media unboxing Leeds United shirts with his name on the back.

It’s unclear what ties LL Cool J – real name James Smith – has with Leeds.

But he was given three replica strips, all of which were boxed with a note thanking him for his support.

The thank you card was signed by Leeds owner Andrea Radrizzani.

The rapper joins the likes of Russell Crowe, Nick Faldo and Spice Girl Mel B as fans of the Whites.

The news is almost as surprising as Mr T being a fan of Yorkshire rivals Barnsley.

His stage name is an abbreviation for Ladies Love Cool James.

His 1996 single ‘Aint Nobody’ topped the UK singles charts, and he’s also collaborated with the likes of Jennifer Lopez throughout his career.

TV fans might also know him for his acting career, which included appearances in NCIS and Hawaii Five-O.

Leeds were promoted to the Premier League this season but haven’t yet been allowed to have fans inside Elland Road.

Perhaps when the pandemic is over, LL Cool J will swap America’s east coast for a seat in the East Stand.

But it’s probably not the ‘paradise’ he sang about with Amerie in this smash hit…
