Russell Simmons: Def Jam Founder and Entrepreneur

Russell Simmons co-founded arguably the greatest hip-hop label of all time in 1984 with Def Jam Records. The company guided the careers of groups like Run-DMC, Beastie Boys and Public Enemy, plus rappers Jay-Z, Ja Rule and Kanye West. But Simmons stepped down from his businesses and charities in 2017 following sexual assault allegations by several women. Graham travels to Bali, Indonesia to see what Simmons’s life is like now, living in a vegan wellness resort. Simmons discusses his early business success, responds to the allegations, and explains what has caused a dispute over hundreds of millions of dollars with his ex-wife.
