EXPLAINER | Russell Simmons is a famed American entrepreneur, writer and record executive credited with co-founding the hip-hop label Def Jam Recordings. He met model Kimora Lee in 1992, and they got married in December 1998. They've since split and seemingly kept up a strong family front until now...

While the world celebrated, honoured and remembered their fathers this past Father's Day, Russell Simmons' daughters shared how their father has berated them for the better part of a year.

Russell was seemingly triggered by a post shared by his older daughter, Ming-Lee Simmons. Ming posted a picture of her mother, Kimora-Lee Simmons, and wished her a Happy Father's Day.

He responded by sharing a post of a picture that read: "Stop telling fathers they should have fought harder to see their children [and] start asking mothers why they had to fight at all."

Until recently, the family has been silent about their personal lives, but they lifted the lid on what they have been going through in a series of Instagram stories and IG live streams after being goaded by Russell.
