will.i.am Chokes Up While Revealing Roxanne Shante Is His Hero

Grammy Award-winning artist and Futurist will.i.am appeared on Roxanne Shante’s “Have A Nice Day” show on LL Cool J’s Rock The Bells Radio, revealing that Roxanne is one of his heroes. Listen to “Have A Nice Day” on the SiriusXM app and car radios on channel 43 with a subscription and free trial.
“This is surreal to me because I wanted to rap because of you and Biz,” will.i.am told Roxanne. “This is emotional for me right now, because you kept me safe when I was in the projects.”
“I appreciate that,” a humble Roxanne responded. “I love being your big sister, and keeping everyone safe. I love that I can take people back to a point in their childhoods when they can remember when it was like this and you did it like this, but I am also thankful that y’all are doing it like this!
