    I’m sorry but Akoi seems so incredibly annoying. I would have to tone her down a notch. Can you imagine her and Jayden Smith in a room together both fighting for attention. lol. Ming, however, is just adorable.

      I agree. Aoki does seem to be a bit of an attention seeker. Better be prepared to be flamed for saying it though. Seems like she’s off limits for criticism on BCK.

          That’s totally true, she does take that after her mother. It’s still so not cute.

      I hear you, not to be mean but i saw a few episodes of there show and Ming seems to be more down to earth and more tolarable then her sister Aoki, Aoki has that stuck up rich little girl attitude. Thats right ! i said it !!!!!

    These are little girls. They still growth and developing. Quit making negative comments about there temperaments and weight. They are young and they have alot of growing to do.

    no the other two girls are kimoras best friend(shanea) daughters! They stay with the family in the summer holidays.

    maybe im crazy, but I dont feel the smith children are spoiled. Now maybe its because I dont see how they act otherwise because their parents dont have a reality show, but as cute as ming and aoki are and as much as kimora tries to “put her foot down” its too late and they are spoiled. I have seen them act out and down right crazy. Ming’s lil behind is a bit grown and I think Aoki is not annoying but just more outspoken. Should she be ridiculed for being outspoken and curious >:( ?

      I still think that people are going to give the girls more attention than him (their brother). Why? Because they are apart of the SIMMONS family and he’s…well…not.

    aoki was the baby for six years and she loves the attention as being the baby. She is the middle child now and she is still going too make sure she gets her attention. Diva in training

    Ming is such a sweet little girl. i thought Aoki was done posing, but i guess not lol! she said i’ma take these pics, missin teeth and all lol! she’s a mess.

    i’m wondering who those 2 other girls are. the taller one i’ve seen in quite a few pics with Ming and Aoki, even when they were out and about with Kimora. she was even on the Simmons’ 2nd episode of MTV Cribs.

    @Bethany, i have a hard time buying that they’re Shani’s kids when A)Kimora is on the west coast now, so technically these kids have no ties to Russell and B)on the episode when Kimora goes back to St. Louis and meets up with Shani, we see her kids, and i don’t recall either one of these 2 being apart of the pack. i thought they were Rev Run’s kids before he got his own show. so i could buy that they are some kind of cousins, possibly Danny’s kids?

    • Tiana July 20, 2009 at 11:38 pm

      I was under the impression that Danny didn’t have any kids because I never see any other kids in their family pics other thans the ones we already know which are the Rev and Russell’s kids. Even when he made guest apperances on “Run’s House” never saw a kid especially seeing where Russy and Diggy slept it didn’t look like a room of someone with kids who come over.

    I’ve always thought that Ming was a little cutie. Now she’s all grown and still adorable, without trying to be.
