Why Diggy Simmons Was Forced To Quit Music

Why Diggy Simmons Was Forced To Quit Music
You know what Charlamagne, that's exactly what the rest of us have been asking when it comes to Diggy Simmons. And as it turns out, it's possible that the industry did actually push him out and he just couldn't handle it because he was going through a lot…
So, before Diggy got into the hip-hop industry, his parents and his six siblings were all exposed to the limelight on MTV’s reality show, Run’s House.
The show, which debuted in 2005, focused on the lives of the Simmons family paying particular attention to Diggy’s father, Rev, and his career with Run DMC.

[@MarTiGirL]

It’s probably *safer for him to NOT be further involved in that industry.* Let the young man be!!!

[@kerrylarry8110]

Facts say it louder

[@millennialodyssey5956]

He's just about the art. Being under the radar is exactly where he should stay and probably what he wants to be. Good for him because that keeps the art real and we need more of that these days!

[@clauzellblackshear2057]

Diggy always been a humble dude respect

[@marthalovely4507]

He probably didn’t want to sell his soul. He’s probably not desperate for the money and fame and has genuine morals.

[@ihatezen]

Shut up

[@Peepee_leepee]

No such thing as selling your soul

[@thecrackin-u8p]

Nepotism

[@thecrackin-u8p]

​@@Peepee_leepee absolutely..selling who you are as a human being, your morals, everything..if that has a price guess what, you sold your soul

[@newmove7068]

Diggy was that dude!!! I was looking forward to seeing him evolve in the industry.. definitely a force.

[@thecrackin-u8p]

Definitely not a force 😂

[@BlackStarrTurnsHeel]

Diggy and Ryan Leslie could've been massive success stories. FYI: Just because a man wants his privacy doesn't mean he is gay. We have to stop making that narrative especially with black men. Nobody owes you anything. 💯☯️

[@JaeLshae30]

Exactly I hate people who do it and it’s sad to say that it’s always black women saying bs like that….as a black woman it hurts.

[@YOUR-WORD-IS-YOUR-BOND]

Well, many of you all do it ... if your not one of them. Why get butthurt?

[@TrvisXXIII]

It’s another form of toxic femininity, they like to say guys are the ones leading that toxicity narrative, but women run with that if a man doesn’t meet their standards smh

[@kenyaouko7388]

Fr...

[@stephaniejames4940]

Some just like to plant seeds where there should be none. It's like the first thing they go to when celebrities don't post their personal life. So they'll make up stories that are baseless to get people talking. And if enough people start repeating, they'll use that as confirmation that it must be true because somebody else thinks it. This story is a prime example. Never had I heard anything about him wanting his privacy because he's gay. Then this.

[@kenyaouko7388]

Diggy is a Beast when it comes to music! He also have OCD like he admitted in the interview and also explained why he doesn't do music much. His OCD is what is making him private plus people keep reaching and bullying him. He doesn't strike me as a DL brotha he probably wants to enjoy his single life and have a Rev father. He can't be in the industry being messy, people are ALWAYS trying to find a problem with a good man. I wish Diggy more success and be blessed.

[@yolandalowe4735]

Wow’s 😮 I didn’t know he been rapping since he was little 😮

[@MimiMajor84]

Damn, maybe Diggy is in a relationship with a woman, doesn't want to cheat on her or want anyone telling the blogs or vlogs that he had random women dancing on him. I definitely do not think he's gay. He's been a celebrity since birth and he wants to stay out of trouble plus think of his parents

[@shamfagrey]

Nice statement.😊😅

[@doryondavoice]

Invite 😇nly doryon91.blogspot.com🌺

[@vantrelllewis2690]

Reporter and other fool need to leave him alone that why some celebrity we look up to or like live the entertainment world yeah he was on Run House but it was just showing us that they are just like us in a way so for goodness said get off his back and if he have a beautiful woman in his life good for him

[@Kswizzy15]

2:07 it says Diggy is Runs youngest son from that article but we all know from watching runs house that Russy is his youngest son

[@asuite6426]

LET THAT MAN LIVE!!!! IT'S THIS! THIS IS THE REASON WHY HE'S BACKING OFF FROM THE INDUSTRY🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️ And why would he want to hang around with stank nasty, thirsty girls, expecting him to buy them drinks and take them shopping???? C'mon man!

[@clybrokeagaincausemonareve9753]

Diggy was BORN into the industry to a father that was involved in the birth and movement of Rap. Diggy also has been raised conservatively. Hes probably learned A LOT from his dad's industry experiences. Having women around in back rooms and clubs is an easy way to set him up for scandal. Maybe he was in a relationship and didn't want to appear to be cheating. Maybe he didn't want to be set up for a xes scandal lawsuit. Sounds as though he's making smart moves to me.

[@etherealE777]

He doesn’t sound gay…seems very smart & self respecting . He doesn’t need to be around & up under every random woman.

[@JKqueening]

So true the next time these girls will be saying he raped and abused me. That's the reason a lots of men are staying away from these women. This young man head is in the right place.

[@bballstar30]

Diggy was dope af

[@SS-ii6nz]

This generation can learn from his experience. He is not afraid to express how life experiences had a impact on his mental state. He is the son of a huge celebrity and it must be tough on the children to reach a certain level of success as well. Diggy is that bright light that shines. His parents did a excellent job raising this young man to be the well respected smart talented artist. I wish him the best 😊😊

[@jeanfoley3266]

I 👂👂 Diggy say, "I have O.C.D.". I'm a retired early childhood educator and I remained in the classroom for 45 AMAZING years!! A lot of our professional development and education is about a variety of disorders. ALL disorders come w/conditions that will make anyone live an EXTREMELY CAREFUL LIFE......... §ounds like Diggy is being careful w/his life and I've watched him grow from a boy to a man through 📺 + his 🎶. I'm PROUD of what he"s done thus far!!! BL€§§ING§ TO ALL 0F U§ as ￦€ NAVIGATE through OUR LIV£§👊!!!

[@ygr3437]

The people in that industry have to do unthinkable things to make it. He does not strike me as someone who is willing to do that considering his family is conservative. I think he will find his way and come back to the reason why he started this journey

[@growthxguidance]

I loved me some diggy ❤

[@doryondavoice]

JillS©😇π"IThinkItsBeπer"🌺

[@1Non-existent]

I think he’s staying private and that’s good for him🎉

[@tabbethadobbins1]

I think he doesn’t want standard, basic women around him. Women who show up to the club and hang around to get in the vip section. He comes from fame-- he dates other famous kids, like he grew up around.

[@tanyataylor5310]

Y'all just nosy...leave the man alone!

[@LaydeeMunch]

Same age as Diggy. I literally knew what I wanted to look like as a young adult male once I grew my facial hair. Trimmed groomed facial hair and nice fashions. Diggy Simmons I owe that to him hands down 💯

[@lsbrgss]

I love me some Diggy Simmons ❤❤❤❤❤

[@aaronbrutus2654]

I really liked his recent album. I hope he makes another

[@AandP4dummieslikeme]

He's pretty-and no I am not calling him gay. I am serious-he is pretty.

[@RomaineMelvin-zi3iv]

That man ain't gay he just got respect for him self

[@djstarberry]

Former Jetsetter here🥲 love u Diggy

[@gloriascott6545]

His business and his life is his life and only his life people please get yours from business talk about yourselves, enjoy your life Diggy🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾❤❤👏👏👌🏽👌🏻🥂

[@cherrydeleon9646]

Kloe Kardashian? OMG? No wonder he is chilling out. Down low Cuz!!! You got it right. 👍

[@Marilynnn11]

He’s a charming singer

[@adriennedickens9092]

Good for diggy.

[@thaishall-rv4yn]

He needs to just be independent. Stay away from the Industry! They dont love you like your Dad, do.

[@tonjajohnson8966]

It is what it is!!! Love this song❤

[@DonnieMajestic]

WheW he is fineeeee. LOL he prob just don't want any type of messy scandal or lies you know you can stand next to anyone without someone taking a picture and selling it saying "They go out". There is a slight chance he could be dl too but hey :P.

[@jamaln5257]

Your a man saying he’s fineeee little suspect don’t you think

[@DonnieMajestic]

@@jamaln5257 cuz he is , fine fine fine fine fine …

[@judithkcolbert8483]

His personal life is nobody’s business and I commend him for doing so. Leave this young man alone and enjoy his talent when he is acting or drops music. Not our business.🧐🤨

[@deborahbrown8570]

Diggy. Is a wonderful actor.

[@kimmy8218]

First he cheated on Chloe and had a baby, jowls is he dl. An you wonder why he does not want to get bothered with this bullshit. I will be glad when people really start suing blog sites for this foolishness

[@stacedoggkyles6451]

Diggy keep your head up keep shining brighter and brighter don't give up what you are doing I am so proud of you what god gave you sky's the limit you can be what ever you want to be in this world god is good I love you diggy god bless you your beautiful wonderful talented family and your friends and also your fans all around the world🙏📖😊🥰❤🌹👑🎧🎤💽💿📀📖🙏

[@Chalkywhite86]

Industry pushed good talent away smh

[@theoneandonlyK01]

The only Simmon I actually like lml he seems genuine n humble

[@oculusdexterx6249]

*I’ll just say this if you’re in the industry and you have children that you love and want to protect you have to keep your eyes on them 24/7 even if they’re not around have people watch them. All kinds of creeps in the industry who will get close to you just to get to your children that’s all I’m going to say*

[@KevinSmith-z2h]

I respect Diggy for being private and not like the other fake rappers out there surrounding themselves with groupies. I liked his music because it was positive and had a message unlike the fake gangsters rapping about b.s.

[@cherrydeleon9646]

DIGGY, is fine like AL B. Sure's son.

[@TrvisXXIII]

Wow, those unknown women he allegedly dated looked incredible. Wayy better than any of those celebs in the public eye, say whatever you want, but that’s the elite sniper status I’m tryna be on.

[@JacksonDonaldmoney]

I hope he comes back to music I big fan of him

[@ReddReigns08]

J Cole dissed then asked for a more worthy opponent than Diggy Simmons. Had a chance to prove his self against Kendrick and ran lmao

[@MichelleFaith-ez8br]

He's protecting his energy like y'all should be doing 😒

[@GossipswithEunice]

I think his big brother was a hater and that had something to do with it. Sibling rivalry and jealousy. He tried to be a rapper too but sucked. When Diggy did what he couldn’t do, he probably made life hard for him in the home.

[@DelaineRobinson]

I think what most people don't understand is that we as human were never meant to be worshipped or have that God-like attention. One thing about men is that we really can't handle being hunted and I do mean by women. We can get very uncomfortable when we are hunted by too many women especially if we are not freak-like if you know what I mean. We like to choose our poison and not the other way around. I'm sure he loves women but to be mobbed by female strangers makes him uncomfortable. The feeling of not being to say yes to them all or pleasing them all is terrifying. or even seeing their beautiful faces after reject a few of them would be painful. Some guys just like one girl at a time and that one girl has to be the one he feel comfortable with, not a stranger who mesmerized by his fame. That kind of attention just doesn't seem real.

[@sunamethyst283]

He said he is OCD That includes random women as well. Nothing is excluded❤❤

[@gwenealy4829]

Maybe this young man is just sly and it's nothing wrong with being Private people have a tendency to get all up in your business . He's a good looking young man and he's very Private . 🤔

[@denzibluesolinfinitymusicw6535]

Diggy isn't Gay they're always trying to call someone gay smh 😡

[@Shaun-f5g]

In my opinion in a weird way, inthink J. Cole dissin him on record didn't help him either. Especially when it was over his sister

[@tommyg2660]

It crazy how you have to be on the DL if you keep your personal life PERSONAL. He probably didn’t want the females around because he knows the potential of some type of fuckery to happen. I think he pulled back when he saw the behind the scenes madness of the music business and didn’t want to sell his soul. Thankfully his father, a rap legend and pioneer, is there to guide him in the right direction. Diggy just needs to block out the nonsense and do his thing. I’m still a fan🤷🏾‍♂️

[@TheTrill334]

Every straight man doesnt want to be with groupies just because they're available. Some men like to hunt

[@tyycha1324]

well we see the stories of what needs to happen in order to be famous and he does want to take that step

[@karatzbeatz]

Ya'll gotta let these men live their lives. He dodged a bullet. He is smart he knows the nonsense of the industry and the public eye. His talent is undeniable but he REFUSED to sell out and kept his cool. Then all of a sudden he's gay? No wonder he's hesistant to re join the industry. Let him follow his dream and appreciate his talent because that Sh** we hear nowadays aint it! All I hear about is Sexxy Red and I'm sick of it! #BRINGDIGGYBACK

[@tedgraham6548]

He already knows what sup! His father told him, it’s different now.

[@hystedluv7093]

i know what it is.... yeah i can relate

[@vantrelllewis943]

He was dope

[@ThaDiazFam]

Was Runs House down the block from a Nuclear Waste plant? All them kids diagnosed with something

[@jio06]

Atlantic record rip

[@Gba757]

I love him ❤

[@denzibluesolinfinitymusicw6535]

4 letter word is my favorite song by Diggy also Copy and paste to be honest.

[@larrymarshall8900]

He could've had been legend in the game but he did grew up with a silver spoon in his mouth. So Diggy really doesn't have much to rap about since he didn't have to go through the struggle like his father did. But he's a good actor watch him on Grown-ish.

[@heavenawilson7271]

It's difficult to keep/ have a private life private when a record label want to promote a new Arist / put that ladies Man...Playboy.... Sex Symbol label & image out there on them.

[@angeluvsvid]

Bih i dont care care bout his preference right now my stomach is full from eggs bacon and pancakes 🤤🥞😅

[@JourneyMomon-bq4uq]

😂

[@76kamikazi]

He got the hell out when he kept hearing stories firsthand about Diddy and the industry.

[@markjohnson-sl9qf]

When was he in at?

[@jacknapier7613]

For me I feel like that’s dumb or confusing for me why someone would jump to that conclusion. I’m like what???? You know there are still those of us in this world who’re private about their lives and family lives; and that’s ok just like it’s ok for those to be so openly public with their own etc….

[@cherrydeleon9646]

What Diddy sings?

[@untundro]

they shoulda gave him the drake package,tbh

[@tboykin13tb]

He Gone Be AlRgt!!!! 😉 Still Cute!! 😊😍

[@TheSpiciestGinger]

Maybe he has a gf and keeping it low profile, doesn't make him gay. That's a wild accusation and even if he was he'd be accepted so.....

[@jazzyjoints7081]

People forget that he has older sisters and not to mention his dad is a REVEREND!!!

[@CGoldmill-dz4gk]

Diggy Simmons sold more records than any new artist coming out even ice mild(spice) 😂

[@spider82666]

After Oprah and Kimora nearly destroyed his uncle Russel Simmons, can you blame him?

[@ApolloniaBeauty-jp2cc]

Good, he escaped trauma from the industry

[@chris-jj1qi]

why cant he just do what he wants? its his life

[@Witn3ssGr8tn3ss]

Diggy is a poor man Drake he raps better than his older brother he just didn't have the right connection to make it

[@junkscorpion7011]

So now a person gotta be gay for wanting their privacy it's probably because he doesn't like messy girls and raggedy media all in his business wtf

[@alicewilliamsgranberry6459]

Leave Diggy Sommons alone.Hes just a prìvate per

@larrymarshall8900 wow!! Unbelievable! I didn't know that..

[@larrymarshall8900]

​​@@zacharybotelho665Yes Diddy is one of the creator/executive producers of the show. Also he has a close friendship with Russell.

[@YOUR-WORD-IS-YOUR-BOND]

He would've ended up wearing dresses, earrings, heels, make-up, long nails, bras, panties, fake boobs and butt.
