Russell Simmons has voiced his support for Jay-Z and Rocawear’s new line of “Occupy All Streets” T-shirt. Critics blasted the fashion statement as an example of corporate greed trying to capitalize on a movement of the people. The Occupy Wall Street movement is passionately against corporate greed, hence the controversy.
But Simmons sees no conflict in Rocawear selling the shirts.
“What’s wrong with selling goodness? There’s nothing wrong with it,” Russell Simmons said. “Jay-Z didn’t make a T-shirt [that said] ‘F**k the Bums on the Street. He wrote a T-shirt ‘Occupy All Streets’ – I’m happy, it furthers the movement, it inspires the movement.”
“I’m going to get every corporation that wants to support us to get branding as part of the process,” Russell Sioms said. “No one’s against business. We’re against business having too much control over our government.”
