I don’t have words to express what I’m feeling this morning. I’ll try later maybe. Y’all know that was my boy. I Love you so much my brother. RIP 🙏🏽💔

Thank you God for my Mama. She will be forever missed and in our hearts. The one thing we all have no doubt about is where she’s at. 😇 Rest in paradise #Mama🙏🏾🕊️💕#DorothySimpson #SimpsonsRecordShop #detroit

I hadn’t seen my 93-yr-old mother in 3+ years because of the pandemic. I surprised her for Mother’s Day while she was visiting her sister in Birmingham, Alabama. I can’t tell you how special this moment was. Happy Mother’s Day to my wife, Pam, and to all of our mothers today.💐

Yesterday was significant 4 me. It marked my 7th decade on the air. I started in 1969 when man walked the moon & The Jackson 5 rocked the earth, & I’m still in the game. What a blessing. A big THANKS all who have supported me thru 60’s, 70’s, 80’s 90’s, aughts, teens & now 20’s.

I just found out that Ananda Lewis has died and I’m absolutely brokenhearted. She had tremendous success at MTV and with her own talk show, but she worked with us at @bet BET before all that. She was only 52 and such a lovely woman, who Loved her young son so much.

My son, Donnie Jr., turned 50 today. It’s hard to believe I have a 50 yr old child. I still think of myself as The Kid. I guess not. He is one of the greatest people I’ve ever known and I honestly believe I would say that even if he wasn’t my son.

Today is my #50th wedding anniversary. 50 years ago today I said “I do” and then we did and now we don’t. 50 years later we sleep in bunk beds like little kids at summer camp. 😂 Ain’t marriage grand. I Love you Pam. Always have…Always will. Happy Anniversary My Boo!! 🥂🍾🧡

So heartbroken 💔 to learn of @angiestone’s passing after her van crashed in Montgomery, AL early this morning on her way to the CIAA in Bmore. She was such a talent and a class act. Sending condolences to her family, friends, and fans. RIP My Sista. 🙏🏽

The GoGo Museum and Cafe was unveiled today during a ribbon-cutting ceremony that coincides with “Go-Go Preservation Week,” running from November 17-23. It’s exciting to see Go-Go being celebrated as the heartbeat of DC with its own museum. Can’t wait to visit!

I went to Frankie Beverly’s final concert ever last night in Philly. What a night! Frankie is like a brother to me and I’ve seen him all around the world, but never in his hometown. I needed to feel the Love they have for him and the Love he has for them. It was so special.
