Russell Simmons shows his followers what wonders a consistent routine can do for the body.

On Friday, the Def Jam Records founder uploaded a photograph of himself shirtless, wearing gym shorts and a hat to indicate off his figure after doing “everyday activities” and eliminating any toxins.

In the caption, the 67-year-old detailed a few of his practices, such as taking every day ice baths every morning, meditating twice a day, yoga and going to the gym.

“I have learned to appreciate the excitement of choosing only healthy foods that have healing properties and avoiding toxic foods and people (love everyone but stick with those who uplift you,” he wrote in his Instagram caption.

Many individuals who know Simmons know that he has been living a holistic lifestyle for a while. He began eliminating animal products from his food regimen and commenced yoga within the Nineteen Nineties. He has also written several books on the topic to present readers a guide on the way to improve their lives as well as their lives in a foreign country.

“Over the years I have incorporated ideas and practices into my life. Basically, I believe that one thing at a time is easy and before you know it, you will be building a life of abundance,” the New York native continued.

“Of course, I’m still working on myself, but I’ve learned to be gentle with myself and master one thing at a time… choose ONE thing that will make you grow, do it until it becomes a habit, then choose another, and still another God will reward your efforts and support you,” Simmons further explained.

“I PROMISE that I have written 5 books about health, happiness and spirituality. God always reminds me, and you too, to be obedient and live up to the promises, remember to walk the path laid out in your heart and in the scriptures #cryotherapy every day.”

Many fans couldn’t help but look past the seemingly healthful caption as they were distracted by Simmons’ thirst trap photo. Some have noticed that the daddy of two has developed loose skin since he lost weight over time.

“Being thirsty at such an old age is crazy but oh uncle,” one person said in her comments section. Another said: “You are in no shape topless. No need for this photo,” while a third replied: “Hey, please put a shirt on.”

Another said: “Now I know perfectly well that they make shirts in Bali. Cover them, Rush!!!!”

One of his defenders tried to silence the criticism, writing: “He looks healthier than half of these haters who are half his age!!!”

The Neighborhood Talk reposted the photo on its Instagram page and fans began telling jokes. One person he said“When the candle starts to melt.”

A second person commented: “Looks like whatever they said he did, he did.”

Simmons, who has lived in Bali since 2018, moved there shortly after he began receiving allegations of sexual assault and rape from several different women in 2017. Other women have since come forward, but Simmons has vehemently denied any wrongdoing. To further strengthen this claim, in an interview last yr on “In Depth with Graham Bensinger,” Simmons revealed that he had taken nine lie detector tests.

Earlier this month, it was reported that Simmons owed three women just over $3 million after failing to pay them by October 1 to settle previous settlements. The next day, the three women filed documents called sentencing statements in court to force Simmons to pay up.

Beyoncé’s nephew, Daniel Julez J. Smith Jr. – the son of her sister Solange Knowles and her ex-husband, Daniel Smith – is causing drama online, with fans claiming he’s tarnishing Knowles’ good name.

Photos have surfaced online of Julez posing with a gun and smoking what appears to be a blunt cigarette.

User X She is suspicious sent the photo surfaced late on Thursday, October 24, and set the app on fire, receiving 1.2 million views and a whole bunch of comments inside 12 hours. Fans panicked after seeing the photos and reading her tweet that read: “Beyoncé nephew of a thug?”

Someone else sent“There’s a difference between being a real thug and acting like a thug.”

Several people wondered how the “Formacja” singer’s mother was going to repair it in the media

“Miss Tina will beat his…” – one person he wrotewhile one other he said“lol, turn it upside down.”

“Beyonce’s PR team probably doesn’t like this kid,” one person said he was joking.

Another person blamed it on her mother’s parenting.

“It’s obvious he can’t say anything because it would be so far away,” one X user he said“Solange gave an interview where she stated that they don’t punish each other, children.”

Others he said there isn’t any excuse: “Crazy because even his mom was raised middle class so he’s actually 2 generations away from knowing this lifestyle LMAO please bro.”

Julez might not be generations faraway from the stereotypical hood life his uncle Jay-Z once rapped about.

The 20-year-old, who has been living as a skilled model for the past few years, has been relatively reserved and has avoided the headlines.

Earlier this yr in February, the Knowles family supported mom Tina’s oldest grandson who made his runway debut on the Luar fashion show in Brooklyn, New York.

In 2022, Julez was accused of fathering a child following alleged text messages between him and an OnlyFans personality named Adore. The alleged messages show Adore saying she wanted them to have a baby, to which Julez allegedly responded, “I want to have a baby so bad,” and agreed to present her the infant in “10 months.”

Solange’s son debunked the rumors by sharing his own screenshots of their exchange. In this regard, Julez wrote: “Now usually I wouldn’t speak out on such nonsense, but this time I won’t let you all drag my family into something that is fabricated. This text is from today, she wants you all to know it’s fake…”

But in 2021, across the time of Kardone’s death, that was the case caught in the sex scandal involving Disney star Skai Jackson. A recording was leaked to the Internet showing the 2 of them performing a sexual act.

Both young people were minors on the time. It’s unclear whether the sharing was intended as revenge porn or an accident.

Republican loudmouth Candace Owens, whom many in hip-hop became acquainted with after Kanye West introduced her as a political voice on TMZ in 2018, has often been critical of rappers who support Democrats. Recently, she has focused on Eminem.

After the Detroit rapper introduced former President Barack Obama at a rally in support of Vice President Kamala Harris, the conservative influencer didn’t hesitate.

“Eminem still dresses up as a rapper who’s been through things, even though he hasn’t touched his doorknobs in 40 years,” he says. he joked on episode 88 of her “Candace” podcast, mocking his political stance: “He decided he was going to come out and remind Black people in Detroit what they should be doing.”

She continued: “Of course, since Barry wasn’t enough to tell us what brothers should do, we’ll add this guy who has a complex and has basically made three albums hating on Trump. He will come out and tell black people how to behave, which makes sense! Eminem is such a fraud.”

This is not Owens’ first brush with hip-hop politics.

From clashing with Ice Cube over his characterization of gangsta rap, claiming it was created by the feds, to criticizing artists like Cardi B for supporting the Biden-Harris campaign in 2020, he has consistently criticized those whose views don’t align along with her own .

She even said that the Grammy winner had a low IQ after she met with Biden to speak in regards to the issues and encourage her fans to get out and vote for the present president.

The expert even called the D12 founder “gay” saying“It’s very sad that Eminem cleaned out his closet but never came out of it.”

However, Owens has shown admiration for celebrities similar to Kanye West and Kid Rock expressed supportrt for Donald Trump. Kanye’s endorsement of Owens six years ago helped raise her profile, and Lil Wayne’s unwavering loyalty to MAGA earned her respect.

However, Eminem’s very public statements against Trump and the Black Lives Matter movement in widely publicized freestyles worn out her red bottom.

At a rally in Detroit on Tuesday, October 22, Eminem used the platform to encourage Michigan voters to specific their opinions.

“I’m here tonight for a few important reasons,” the “Rap God” rapper told the 1000’s gathered. “As most of you understand, town of Detroit and the whole state of Michigan mean rather a lot to me, and with this election we’re within the highlight greater than ever and I imagine it will be important to talk up, so I encourage everyone to get out and vote, please “

Adding: “I also imagine that individuals should not be afraid to specific their opinions, and I do not think anyone wants an America where people worry about being punished for what they’ll do if you happen to reveal your opinion. “I think Vice President Harris supports a future for this country in which these freedoms and many others are protected and respected.”

This comes days after Trump said the nation could be in chaos under President Kamala Harris: “The whole country is going to be like, ‘You want to know the truth, it’s going to be like Detroit.’ If she becomes your president, our whole country will be like Detroit.”

Obama supported the rapper with a light-hearted nod to Eminem’s iconic lyrics from “Lose Yourself” and jokingly spat, “My palms are sweaty, my knees are weak, my arms are heavy,” addressing the group.

He then finished strong, jumping up and down as many rappers do, and continued, “I’m already vomiting on my sweater, mom’s spaghetti, I’m nervous but I seem calm and ready to drop bombs, but I keep forgetting.”

The rapper had no problem with Obama using his music, but he sent Vivek Ramaswamy to stop using the identical song in 2023.

Fans joined the X platform, swaying to the sounds of a mix of Marshall Mathers and Obama.

One fan he said“Eminem and Taylor Swift? Wow!”

Others teased the Republican Party for its expectations of him due to his race: “The way right-wingers assumed or expected Eminem that a man who said things like ‘Black people saved my life’ stood as much as discrimination and brutality police and directly called out Donald Trump, vote Republican simply because he’s a white rapper.”

Right-wingers assumed or expected Eminem, a man who said things like “Black people saved my life”, opposed discrimination and police brutality, and directly called for Donald Trump to vote Republican simply because he’s a white rapper 😭🤣

People shouted at individuals who were shocked, saying“You really do not know anything about Eminem. He hates the orange clown.

Fourth user X he wrote“It’s funny that Eminem hasn’t changed his ways since the beginning and has always been open about the things he cares about, and in this case, hates.”

Eminem’s message resonated with many, while Owens simply didn’t see it and continues to cement her role as a controversial and vocal figure within the conservative space by harshly criticizing rappers who speak out against her political positions and candidates.
