Russell Simmons believes that money has nothing to do with one’s happiness. Although many spend most of their days trying to make ends meet, whether to pay their bills or save up for their retirements, the mogul believes when their life ends, it’s not going to matter.

The famed music mogul explained his stance further by explaining that the true goal in life should be enlightenment, not getting rich. When DJ Vlad commented about Russell making a lot of money during his career, Simmons pointed out that he’s never chased money, but he’s made a lot of money from doing the things he loves.

Later on in the interview Russell reacted to Eddie Griffin telling DJ Vlad that media wants to destroy the reputation of all Black entertainers, and Russell said that no one leaves this world clean. He then added that he doesn’t want to speak directly about Cosby, but Simmons believes that where there is smoke there must be fire.
