no one here knows Simmons personally, or how he thinks, or what he really does behind closed doors, or open doors. So until I hear from his close friends and family anything posted here is beuty shop gossip.
I don't know Simmons, I am not defending, but on the surface I see good things that he doues with his name and money.
Is Simmons really empowering people witrh his jewlery business? Well if so then more power to him.
We must stop spewing hatred towards blacks whom are famous, so many so called conscious people are just jealous haters when the curtains are drawn.
There are some black people who are of the belief that "all diamonds are blood diamonds" regardless of who is invovled in the trade.
