Hip-Hop mogul Russell Simmons is featured on not one, but two magazine covers this month.  While Russell graces the cover of Hampton magazine alone, he and his daughters Ming,9, and Aoki,6, are featured on the cover of Jet magazine.

The following highlights are taken from Russell’s interview with Jet magazine:

On what he instills in the girls:

“I tell them that giving is part of your receiving process; life is about giving,” said Simmons.

On mom Kimora Lee Simmons:

“Obviously we have an arrangement, but Kimora is very gracious when it comes to the children,” he shares. “Whenever there is something special, additional days that I want, she is very accommodating.”

For more on Russell and his daughters, pick up the latest issue of Jet magazine. Russell even talks about Kimora’s beau, Djimon Hounsou.

The following excerpt is taken from Hampton Magazine:

Indeed, daughters Aoki Lee, six, and Ming Lee, nine, are his proudest accomplishments in a lifetime of momentous achievements. And there’s no time like summer in the Hamptons for them to connect. “We just hang together,” he says. “We like to go to the beach, and to yoga—they’ve been doing it their whole lives.”

      They may have their cousins beat cuz Kimora had them up to some business activities early on in one of the shows.

      so do i, can’t wait for the pics on her son, their little brother. What’s taking so long?? i’m torn between being glad she is taking the time to bond with her baby and not doing what most celebs normally do (get paid millions for pics as soon as the baby is born) BUT it the same time it’s a month now and the suspense is killin me.

    They mustve dressed themselves cause Miss Kimora Lee wouldn’t be having that at all. But Russ is a great father and should be an example to other men how u can still be in the childrens lives even if it doesn’t work out for the parents

    i hate talking about little girls weight gain and etc. but ming really got a lot chubbier from the last time i saw pictures of her on the cover of kids LA magazine and from the pics in OK! magazine at the baby shower for her new baby brother. if she wasn’t with her dad and sister i probably wouldn’t have recognized her. Besides that its nice to see them together and of course kimora will have no problem with giving russell extra days with the girls cause she wants some quiet time with kenzo lee.

      It is what it is, Truth, I have noticed she has gained a little weight, She is still cute, We still have freedom of speech, It’s nothing wrong with saying that in taste and concern.

    Russell is so old to have these young kids(six and nine)…does he have any other older kids?

    • Leah July 11, 2009 at 1:41 pm

      He is old to be having such young children, I don’t believe he has any older children, I just think he had a late start with getting married and starting a family in his forties.

    Kimora has those girls in to many activities. I can see her going off on Rusell because they missed a scheduled event. I know an associate who has her 8 year old daughter, In dance, the swim team, tennis lessons, cheerleading girls scouts, and more, That child is tired by the end of the day everyday. She told my daughter she hates all those events she has to attend, but she does it for her Mom. And she don’t want to be in all that stuff, It’s the parents who want them in these activities, Because they wanted to be in them when they were little. Ask Tori Spelling, she just wanted to be a normal child and her Mom use to have her brought to school in a Limo. Ming and Aoki will tell her about it when they are older. They are still cute,and I can’t wait to see a picture of the little Kenzo. Hopeful his Daddy will stand up to Kimora.

      Why would u call a child fat? U r a moran its comments like that is what makes girls of today to hav low self esteem and hav trouble being happy with themselves. Children often go through stages of gaining wait as they grow in case u didn’t know.

    @ Midnite…I’m not sure if the too many activity thing is a good thing or a bad thing. This lady that goes to my church says she keeps her kids busy so that they have NO time to get into trouble. So everyday they had some new activity (choir rehersal, karate, tai kwan do, homework night etc). They turned out the be pretty rounded kids. I guess to each it’s own but I would do the same. When I got bored as a child I experimented…not always with good stuff either so I applaud her for keeping them busy.

    How many teen pregnancies could have been avoided with “busy scheduled” kids….something to think about..JMO
