RUSSELL SIMMONS
FLINT, Mich. (AP) _ Russell Simmons is not just promising to send water to the residents of Flint, Michigan. He’s actually going door to door to deliver it. The Flint Journal reports Simmons has been personally delivering water to Flint households on behalf of AQUAhydrate, a bottled water company partly owned by Sean “Diddy” Combs and Mark Wahlberg. Flint’s water supply has had high levels of lead since officials started drawing water from the Flint River in a cost-cutting measure in 2014. Simmons says he has a lot of love for Flint and fondly recalls the reception Flint gave Run-DMC decades ago
