The rapper is returning to the show to raise  awareness about diabetes

Listen to Lil' Jon on iHeartRadio

Lil’ Jon says he's returning to Celebrity Apprentice for  one reason to raise awareness about diabetes.

The crunk king says he originally refused producer’s  requests to return to show, but re-considered after his mother’s diabetes came  out of remission. He explains, “It made me say, 'You know what? Maybe I should  go back to help bring awareness for friends and family of people with  diabetes.'"

Lil’ Jon says he was also inspired to raise awareness about  diabetes after watching Phife struggle with the disease in  the Tribe Called Quest documentary Beats,  Rhymes and Life. “I know Phife, and his struggle was he wasn’t taking care  of himself while they were doing their thing in hip-hop. He lost a kidney, and  his wife had to give him one of her kidneys. So [that] touched me."

Celebrity Apprentice All Stars,  which also features LaToya Jackson, Omarosa and Claudia  Jordan, will return to NBC on March 3rd.
