Bill Cosby Tells Off Russell Simmons

The beef still cooks between actor Bill Cosby and hip-hop mogul Russell Simmons.

According to Simmons he tried to quell the animosity between the two at the recent Jackie Robinson Annual Awards Dinner where both attended, but Mr Huxtable wasn’t having it.

Simmons recounts the failed apology that went nothing like he planned in his blog on Globalgrind.com writing…

“I wanted to find him to apologize, to tell him I was sorry about my statements and to tell him that I loved him.”

But instead the Def Jam co-creator says when he went to apologize Cosby told him, “Get the [bleep] out my face!”

Simmons goes on further in his blog to claim that Cosby even gave him a shoulder shiver when they crossed paths at the event, saying Cosby,

“walked by me and bumped me with his shoulder as I walked offstage after presenting my award to Sean Combs, who was honored at the event] . . . I then loved him even more.”

The two men have had an ongoing misunderstanding since 2009 when Cosby launched his “State of Emergency” campaign calling for the clean up of hip-hop lyrics. Simmons vocally opposed Cosby’s campaign but was apparently ready to let bygones be bygones at the recent Jackie Robinson event.

It seems Cosby, however, still holds a grudge.

Reps for Cosby refused to comment on the incident.
