Well it seems that the reports of Rocawear pulling the "Occupy All Streets" t-shirt was premature. What actually happened is the shirts sold out on the site.
Allhiphop reports that Russell Simmons wanted to defend Jay-Z and Rocawear's decision to sell the shirts:
“What’s wrong with selling goodness? There’s nothing wrong with it,” Russell Simmons said.
“Jay-Z didn’t make a T-shirt [that said] ‘F**k the Bums on the Street,” Simmons continued. “He wrote a T-shirt ‘Occupy All Streets’ – I’m happy, it furthers the movement, it inspires the movement.”
Simmons, who is worth over $250 million dollars, has also been the subject of criticism for his association with Occupy Wall Street.
But the mogul defended his fortune, by noting his track record for consistently giving back to poor and disenfranchised people around the world.
“I’m going to get every corporation that wants to support us to get branding as part of the process,” Russell Sioms said. “No one’s against business. We’re against business having too much control over our government.”
