Old feelings just like old habits die hard. Perhaps none harder than the feelings Bill Cosby has for Def Jam founder Russell Simmons. As we all know Russell really laid it on the table to Mr. Cosby in his open letter in 2009 after Bill made some less than flattering remarks about hip-hop and today’s youth. Well being a person to not forget the past Bill Cosby let Russell Simmons know when you disrespect him, it ain’t NO LOVE! Read Russell’s recap as we watch America’s Favorite Dad turn into Hip-Hop’s Original Gangsta!
“I wanted to find him to apologize, to tell him I was sorry about my statements and to tell him that I loved him,” Simmons explained. “Suddenly, I turned and he was behind the curtain and I said, ‘I love you,’ and he responded on some real hip-hop, ‘Get the f*ck out my face!’ “
“His next move was straight-up old-school pre-b-boy hood sh–,” Simmons explains. “He walked by me and bumped me with his shoulder as I walked offstage after presenting my award to Sean, just like the cool-ass character in ‘Let’s Do It Again.’ I then loved him even more.”
“He’s from the same hood I’m from, just got a lucky break like me, cause I am [one of] those suffering men. And after that elbow, I knew he was too.”
Well…There you have it. Guess Russell thought Heathcliff Huxtable showed up to the Awards dinner but oh no! So let me know…What would you have done knowing the history between these 2 gentlemen?
