On Monday (April 2) Russell Simmons’ HSAN and Reverend
Al Sharpton are scheduled to join Czar Entertainment at a public grievance
and rally concerning Tony Yayo‘s alleged assault on Jimmy
"Henchman" Rosemond‘s 14 year-old son.
Cynthia Reed, the mother of James Rosemond, will also be in attendance in addition
to community leaders, parents, students and religious leaders. The demonstrations
will be begin with a press conference.
"We are involved to try to help mediate this problem," HSAN President/CEO
Dr. Benjamin Chavis said in a statement. "In truth, every
child in our community is precious. The theme of the Hip-Hop Summit is taking
back responsibility. With artistic freedom comes responsibility. Therefore anytime
a child in our community is harmed it is of great concern to us. We are hoping
and praying that this matter can be resolved peacefully and resolutely. At the
end of the day the interest of our children will be better served."
