VIDEO: Diggy Simmons Claims His Dad's Music Connections Didn't Help Him Get His Record Deal

Diggy Simmons, who is Russel Simmon's nephew and Rev Run's son, signed a record deal with Atlantic Records recently. Little Diggy claims that his Dad's connections within the music industry didn't get him his record deal.......

I guess the boy wants to believe he achieved something on his own (which he has in a way), so we wont burst his bubble as he's quite a good rapper...better than his older brother JoJo who actually wanted to make a career out of rapping.

If Diggy wasn't related to rap royalty and his uncle wasn't great friends with Lyor Cohen down at Atlantic Records, would Diggy honestly have got a record deal?
