Russell Simmons, 51, has taken to his popular Global Grind blog to explain the recent court “order” granting his ex-wife, Kimora Lee Simmons, $40,000 a month in child support. The hip-hop entrepeneur calls the decision to shower his two daughters with the massive monthly figure his own.

“I am reading these stories today about how a judge ordered me to pay Kimora $40,000 a month in child support and I want to make something very clear. Nothing was ordered, it was given. My kids have a fabulous life; they are exposed to a broad range of artistic and scholastic educational programs and I’m very happy to contribute to that. As long as I have it, they can have it. If I ever don’t have it, I’m coming to live with them!”
