      @Forgotten King Thank you for this video. I've known Ye for a long time, we worked on a lot of projects over the years and he did what he did purposely to get out of those contracts which kept him from doing what he actually wants to do with his brands and his life. Now that he has the money those partnerships with the enemies mean absolutely nothing. He hinted towards that in his last 3 interviews. People don't pay attention to what he actually says. He was daring Adidas to cut him loose because that is exactly what he wanted. Now he is free to build his own empire from scratch, literally from the ground up. He has been and still is in the process of buying more land than any minority American has ever bought. People were and are still in awe when they see the studio Tyler Perry built in Georgia... They are going to an out of body experience when Ye builds his own community with all the resources to be self-sufficient like Wakanda. If Ye was the one who broke the contracts he would have lost billions of dollars and might have wound up in debt, losing everything. He lost nothing being let go by those companies and gained the free world. By them breaking the contract he is totally free and they have to eat the financial loss. He knows exactly what he is doing and the comeback is going to p!ss the world off even more. We advised him to quadrupole his and his family's security because they are going to try to kill him like they did so many others of our brothers and sisters. I can't say any more than that.

      Summers,
      Some of us coming from humble beginnings understand what it means to treat others equally, and some of us who are wealthy, head's are so swollen they won't listen to anyone who really has there best interests at heart.
      West is so up in the clouds I doubt if he'll listen to anyone!
      I'm sure there have been mentors who've tried talking/reasoning with him, but his head is so swollen he can't see it making it pointless.
      Power and Greed has ruined so many promising young men of our culture.
      Enough is never enough when Greed and Power has effected your mind to the point of no return!
      No, we shouldn't give up on anyone, but this guy as much as I hate to say it, is seriously missing something!
      From music to religion, to politics, to entrepreneurship to a man spewing racial hate....
      A man with more money than he'll ever spend in his lifetime....

    This is the way to approach a situation like this. Russel spoke with compassion and concern. He didn't tear him down, he lifted him and that's the way we should be with one another. Embrace what we don't understand and try to look at an action from another perspective, without negativity, but in a positive way. That goes a long way. Thanks, Mr. Simmons!

      I liked that he didn't shy away from the constructive feed back as well in telling Ye to mend his relationships and assauge the hurt he's caused. But he did it in such a positive way. Like you said, it wasn't negative at all. It was done so well. I have a very good friend that talks to me like this. He see's no half empty glasses, only opportunities. Meanwhile I'm always panicking the sky is falling. People like this are incredibly rare.

Spacey, Weinstein, Lauer and so on. You know why they are gone because they were full of hate, narcissism, and negativity. Your boy Kanye is the exact same way. Everyone deserves a second chance right? I hear you. That’s why I still fucked with him after his dumbass took that mic from Taylor Swift. Just a moment of bad judgment right? That’s not really what he’s about. Wrong. This cat is full of narcissism to the point he feels like God, Jesus, Yeezus. There are so many minority artist that truly about good. They don’t open their mouth as much as this clown so we don’t see them as much. But I’d rather that than make excuses for this idiot and the hateful things he has said. Truth.

    Kanye doesn’t like conversing with Russ because Russ is one of the few that doesn’t put up with his BS. Doesn’t let Kanye hijack and control conversation. Kanye’s verbal diarrhea is how he control’s conversations, because no one can get a word in edgewise!

    Wow! This is the most DECENT, humble, fair and intelligent response that anyone has given in regards to the recent comments that Kanye has made and this entire situation. My hat goes off to you sir. Thanks Russell Simmons; you’ve got to be almost the only person who isn’t condemning Kanye West. Thank you for having such a positive and bright outlook on this particular situation. So many people were quick to spread the rumor that he’s broke. This, which actually seemed absurd because how could he go broke in simply a matter of a few days? Thank you for educating a lot of people about how business really works and from someone who knows Kanye personally. It puts an entirely different perspective on things.
