HSK EXCLUSIVE: Russell Simmons Gets Over On Donald Trump!

Wednesday, January 6th, 2010

Industry insiders are pointing to Russell Simmons as a liar after the Phat Farm creator reportedly lied to Donald Trump, as part of a plot to get over on the real estate king.

HSK has learned that Simmons told Trump he was putting together a biography on “The Apprentice” star’s life, in order to land an on camera interview with him. The Trump biography by Simmons didn’t exist, but Simmons was planning to use Trump’s interview as part of his yoga infomercial. And, that’s exactly what he did – looping parts of Trump’s interview throughout his yoga project. Apparently, Trump later caught on to Simmons’ game, and became livid with the former Def Jam CEO.

Now, we’re told Trump refuses to ever work with Russell Simmons again. Continue Reading…

Russell Simmons Charities

Hip Hop mogul, Russell ‘Uncle Russ’ Simmons is more than just a staple in the music business. Know why? Because he’s giving back to the community.

In a candid conversation with Jacky Jasper, Russ opened-up his generous side to Hollywood’s Street King. “I spend more money than I make on my charities,” said Simmons. “And, the gifts I give to other charities.”

The man behind ‘Phat Farm’ clothing has generated about $2.5 million each year, over the past decade. Simmons speaks with Jacky about his trio of charities – Art for Life, Diamond Empowerment Fund, and Hip Hop Summit.

RUSSELL SIMMONS & JACKY JASPER CALL A TRUCE

Monday, October 5th, 2009

Says Russell Simmons:

When we think of Minister Louis Farrakhan, we often think about the man who helped guide Muhammad Ali or the man who came up together in the Nation of Islam with Malcolm X. Do we ever think he’s the man who helped hundreds of thousands (or even millions) of black people to love themselves? Well, we should.

When I grew up in Hollis, Queens there was a rehab, a mosque and a “Steak n’ Take” on my corner, all of which where run by the Nation of Islam. There was also a heroin epidemic on that corner that was killing off our teenagers and young adults. Our parents would tell us that when we grow up we should make a choice to either join the army or “be a Muslim or something.” The Nation of Islam secured our housing projects, promoted dignity and transformed men with criminal pasts. Those men would then, in turn, raise refined, educated black children. Hard to dispute this. It took guys off the street and created a powerful, non-violent movement. The Nation of Islam has never been associated with any form of violence and always been about uplifting our communities and making a better future for black people. If you ask anyone from my generation, from any ghetto in this country, I promise you they have roughly the same experiences regarding the Nation’s presence in their communities.

Certainly some of their preachers were fiery, especially in their pointing out the evils of white supremacy. They said some things in a way that was hard for most whites and some blacks to digest. For example, “THE WHITE MAN IS THE DEVIL.” We have to remember the climate of the country during this time. It was an all out war and the Nation was not about to back-down. The Nation of Islam, which was started by Elijah Muhammad and a white man named, Master Fard Muhammad, always pointed out that one day we would all live in harmony. Although this still isn’t quite true, their message under the leadership of Minister Louis Farrakhan has evolved to fit the time.

RUSSELL “SUPER TRICK” SIMMONS STRIKES AGAIN!!!

Thursday, September 24th, 2009

Tommy Hilfiger Tells Russell Simmons “No Ho’s At The Show”

Russell Simmons Tricks on Ashley Dupre

Well apparently, Russell was going to bring his new gal pal and internet “ho” Ashley Dupre to the Tommy Hilfiger fashion party held for Fashion Week. Ashley is best known as the girl who brought down former Governor Spitzer of New York. I think Russell needs to upgrade his company, for real, but at least he remembered it was “Bros before Hos” and left her home.

Paul Wilmont, a Hilfiger rep, told the NY Post, “Tommy didn’t feel her presence would be appropriate.”
