According to Inside Edition, the Simmons family had taken a tour of the college where the 17-year-old planned to study government while helping her mother with the re-launch of the clothing line, Baby Phat.

Unfortunately, Aoki had to go back home from college after the Ivy League school made it known that they would be canceling classes due to the rapid spread of the novel coronavirus.
