Miranda Lambert 'Overreacted' With Fans Taking Selfies? LL Cool J Tells Her to 'Get Over It'

LL Cool J has decided to weigh in on the recent events that took place during Miranda Lambert's concert in Las Vegas, which he thinks was unnecessary and an overreaction from the singer.

Lambert was in the middle of her performing one of her most emotional songs, "Tin Man," when she spied some of her fans taking selfies, which set her off.

"I'm gonna stop right here for a second, I'm sorry," the country music singer abruptly said. "These girls are worried about their selfie and not listening to the song."

Lambert went on calling the fans out: "It's pissing me off a little bit. Sorry, I don't like it. At all. We're here to hear some country music tonight. I'm singing some country damn music."

Some of the singer's fans were so put off by her reaction that some stood up and left the show before it even ended.

Fans and netizens are not the only ones who were put off by Lambert's response to the incident, LL Cool J also thinks she overreacted.

During an interview with Mix 94.1 "Mercedes in the Morning," LL Cool J chastised the country music singer, "Miranda, get over it, baby..."

"They're fans... Your job as an artist is to create art. The way people choose to interact with that art, or engage it, or appreciate it, is up to them."

The rapper's sentiments were echoed by the host of the show, Adela Calin, who added, "It felt like I was back at school with the teacher scolding me for doing something wrong and telling me to sit down back in my place.

"I feel like she was determined to make us look like we were young, immature and vain. But we were just grown women in our 30s to 60s trying to take a picture."

LL Cool J is Cool

The rapper went on to explain how he is very liberated, and does not mind whatever his fans do during his shows, "If you want to come to my show and you want to sit there and eat a bowl of potato salad with a baseball hat down to your nose, that's what you choose to do.

"You got to let the fans do what they want to do. What about all the thousands of people who aren't doing that?"

He then followed his statements up by clarifying that he has nothing against Lambert and her opinion, but her reaction could have been better.

"I can't speak for her, I'm not going to judge her. I have nothing unkind to say about her," he continued. "I wish her the best and she has the right to her feelings but for me, I let the fans be the fans and do what they want to do."
