Mama said knock you out.

And that’s just what LL Cool J did. The Ladies might Love Cool James, but I’m sure this busted up burglar doesn’t.

The burglar who broke into the Studio City home of actor-rapper LL Cool J suffered a broken nose and jaw in what police sources described as a “knock-down, drag-out” fight.

Los Angeles police were called to the star’s home in the 12000 block of Blairwood Drive around 1 a.m. Wednesday, officials said. LL Cool J was holding the suspect when officers arrived, officials said.

LL Cool J, born James Todd Smith, rose to fame with musical hits such as ”Mama Said Knock You Out” and “I’m Bad.” He currently stars in “NCIS: Los Angeles.”

Detectives were waiting to interview the suspect, who was not immediately identified, at a hospital where he was being treated. The suspect is described as a transient, and police could not immediately say whether he had a criminal record.

LL Cool J was upstairs in his home when he heard noise coming from the kitchen area. When he went down to see what was happening, the unidentified suspect came at him, leading to the fight.

He must ain’t know whose house he was breaking into. Have you seen LL’s arms? Why would you mess with that. He musta thought he was at Jermaine Dupri’s house because that’s just crazy.

Set the scene: LL Cool J in the studio (shirtless and glistening in the sweats of creativity, no doubt) working on some rhymes that nobody will ever hear because the radio stopped playing him last decade.

LLCJ: *rapping*
Burglar Downstairs: *strange noise*
LLCJ: *licks lips* What was that? *licks lips*
Burglar Downstairs: *strange noise again*
LLCJ: Oh shit. *licks lips* Somebody’s in my house. *flexes* *licks lips* *cracks knuckles* I need to see about this. *goes downstairs*
Burglar Downstairs: *burglar making “oops this is not Omarion’s crib” face* Oh Mister James Todd…I was just…uh…
LLCJ: You was just? *licks lips repeatedly, hypnotizing burglar into a trance of confusion, lust, and Ovaltine*

And that was all she wrote. LL beat the stuffing outta that dude. And the lesson here is, even a soft rapper with hard muscles will throw down when necessary.

Y’all better leave Drake alone…he gettin kinda swole…
