day night, if it's a long week- end.
Book written by self-de- scribed personal finance expert Ash Cash was inspired by the advice JAY-Z gave in his song, ‘The Story Of O.J.’
"I'm tryin' to give you a mil- lion dollars worth of game for $9.99," raps Jay-Z on "The Color Of O.J." Author Ash Ex- antus, aka Ash Cash, is now offering that game in the form of a $14.99 paperback book.
The Wake Up Call: Financial Inspiration Learned from 4:44 + A Step by Step Guide on How to Implement Each Financial
Principle was inspired by Jay's Grammy-nominated album 4:44.
Cash spoke to HipHopDX about his latest writings focus- ing on the economic growth of African-Americans.
My inspiration for the book was that Jay was giving so much knowledge about how you can become financially free... as an individual as well as how we (as a culture) can break the cycle of poverty in our com- munity,” said the self-described personal finance expert.
Russell Simmons Says One Accuser Attempted To Extort Him
Russell Simmons says a woman tried to extort him. As you know, the 60-year-old mogul is making headlines over allegations of sexual mis- conduct, assault and rape. Last week, two women recently came forward to file com- plaints against him.
The allegations stem from alleged rapes in 1983 (35 years ago) and 1991 (27 years ago). Simmons adamantly denies any wrongdoing, and says that one woman tried to extort him for hundreds of thousands of dollars.
“In recent weeks, some for- mer business, creative and ro-

mantic partners have aired
grievances as claims I categor- ically reject. In some of these instances, financial motives and direct contradictory wit- ness testimony has been sup- plied to the media, which has been completely left out of sto- ries.
In the last few days, one woman attempted to extort me for $500,000 only to recant her ridiculous claim.
The current allegations range from the patently untrue to the frivolous and hurtful. The presumption of innocent until proven guilty must not be replaced by ‘guilty by associa- tion, according to Simmons.

star Young Hollywood says his life has been threatened ever since he was shown on the show trying to turn down the blackness of artist and co- star Amara La Negra.
In the series premiere last week, the producer told Amara she needed to be “more Beyonce and less Macy Gray.” He also called her psychotic after Amara took offense to his
suggestion that she change her look ... most notably her Afro.
Amara ultimately stormed off after he referred to her as “Nutella Queen.”
Young Hollywood, who has worked with 2 Chainz and reggaeton superstars Nicky Jam and Coscul- luela, says he’s wrongfully being crucified and the indus- try’s sad standards are really to blame.
