NINA SIMONE SMITH

Nina Simone is following in her father’s footsteps in the entertainment industry. She has released her very first single, “Call Me”, on her 19th birthday.

While the Smith siblings have the best things in life, their father was careful not to let them grow up spoiled. Instead, they are given things in moderation, especially when they are prospering.

LL COOL J AND SIMONE SMITH

James Todd Smith (the rapper’s real name) dated Simone for eight years before walking down the aisle with her in 1995, and the couple haven’t looked back since.

In 2004, Simon was diagnosed with stage III chondrosarcoma, an uncommon cancer of the bones. The “Doin It” singer stood by his ailing spouse while she underwent a 15-hour surgery and a two-and-a-half years of recuperation.

Fortunately, Smith beat cancer and has been cancer-free for 17 years. Now, she is living life to the fullest with her growing family.

The renowned rapper completely rejects the prevailing view that rap artists have little or no regard for their families, as he was regularly involved and present in his kids’ lives.
