If you’ve ever heard Farai Chideya on National Public Radio before you’ll find this a bit funnier. It seems that Simmons may have lost his cool for a short while, while promoting his new book Do You! 12 Laws to Access the Power in You to Achieve Happiness and Success. Since this whole Imus business started, Simmons has been regarded as an expert on the hip hop content controversy. When questions strayed from the book and to the Imus story, Simmons stated “I had a book tour about peace and love, and everyone wants to talk about bitches and hoes.” He didn’t seem to appreciate that his involvement in the latest hip hop controversy is more interesting than his book tour.by Lucas DiGia & Robby Uppal
