“We’re just praying,” the ex-manager, Nakia Walker, said, adding that some of Simmons’ relatives had been allowed to see him in the hospital.
Murray Richman, a lawyer who has represented Simmons for 25 years, said Simmons was hospitalized after he had a heart attack at his home in White Plains, New York, on Friday.
“He is truly an amazing person,” Richman said. “He walked into a room, he lit up the room. He couldn’t help making you feel good in his presence.”
Richman acknowledged that Simmons, 50, had lived a “difficult life”, adding that he shared it with the world through his music.
“He expressed the pain and suffering in a very unique way,” Richman said. “He truly is reflective of a whole segment of our society whose pain and suffering go unrecorded.”
Simmons sold millions of records and was the first musician whose first four albums debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard chart. He became known for electrifying audiences at concerts with hits that include “Party Up” and “X Gon’ Give It to Ya.”
