LL Cool J credits his career luck to the fact he pays 10% of his earnings to God.
The rapper has been paying substantial amounts to the church for "years".
He says: "I'm paying tithes by 10 per cent of the gross going to the church.
"This is the only thing that has taken my career from here to there. You're seeing the glory of God when you see my career.
"God judges the heart, so when you give, your heart gets judged."
