The America's Got Talent host told Global Grind that he studies Simmons and values his knowledge as a media mogul.
"When I look to people I would want to emulate, I think of Sammy Davis Jr. He was a trailblazer for his time and he was a great all-around entertainer. He really helped pave the way for everyone," the 29-year-old said.
"Also, Russell Simmons. He is one person that I want to emulate. I try to sit and get as much wisdom from him as possible."
Cannon recently said that he is constantly connected to his wife Mariah Carey through technological devices.
