Rather than keep the issue a private, family matter, Reverend Run will address the drug arrest of his son Joseph �JoJo� Simmons on an upcoming episode of Run�s House.

On May 8, JoJo was arrested after buying marijuana in Washington Heights.

In the episode JoJo is confronted by his two sisters Vanessa and Angela regarding what happened that night and he also speaks to his little brothers on the importance of being responsible.

The topic of Jojo�s arrest for marijuana is a tough subject for Run to deal with. Before becoming a man of God, Rev. Run wasn�t exactly an alter boy. He admits to smoking pot during his days as a superstar in the 80s. Jojo�s uncle Russell Simmons even called the former Rev. Run a �chimney.�

Along with criminal possession charges, the 19 year old teen was slapped with reckless endangerment for crashing his BMW into a parked car in an attempt to flee.

The episode shows Russell Simmons reminding his now reverend brother on his own past before being quick to condemn his young son.

We�ll have to tune in to see how Jojo and family handle this topic, especially because he has two younger brothers who look up to him. Jojo Simmons also has two older sisters, Vanessa Simmons and Angela Simmons, who have already came out in his defense.
