Once you’re entrenched, it seems like you start finding reasons to remain. Honestly, what could be more shocking than publicly declaring your desire for someone, then nurturing that relationship for seven years, only to betray that trust with an ex?
Hey there, Angel, it’s your boy. You know who it is. I see you, BB, a boss in beauty, and I need you on my team, you feel me? That’s the talk swirling around Yo Gotti and Angel Simmons. So, let’s dive into unpacking the real deal here, because word on the street is they’re through. Dun, dun, dun. Even though neither has officially confirmed, online sleuths have been pretty accurate about recent breakups, which have been aplenty. So, it’s likely this one’s legit too, given the evidence at hand. Now, this split hits hard, considering Gotti put in seven years of effort to win Angela over. Before we delve into the details, let’s not forget the labor of love he put in.
It all started back in October 2015 when Angela found herself among the list of celebrity women featured in a song by Yo Gotti called “Down in the DM.” In the lyrics, he revealed his admiration for Angela after recently following her on social media, expressing a strong crush. This initial public declaration of affection led to continued mentions of Angela in Gotti’s subsequent songs, such as his 2017 track “Save It for Me,” where he noted her relationship status at the time. Despite not being romantically involved, Angela acknowledged Gotti’s persistent mentions and they eventually formed a friendship, although Gotti always made his desire for more than friendship clear.
After seven years of persistence and pursuit, Angela and Gotti both shared similar stories on their Instagram accounts in October 2022, seemingly confirming that Gotti’s efforts had paid off. Then, in January 2023, Angela solidified their relationship by posting a photo with Gotti, captioned, “You are all I need and more.” Isn’t that amazing? The relationship reached a significant milestone in August 2023 when Angela starred in Gotti’s music video for his song “The One.” She portrayed Gotti’s love interest, and scenes depicted them shopping together, sporting matching bathing suits in a stunning pool, and engaging in affectionate moments. Their love seemed to be flourishing beautifully.
A few days later, amidst the celebration of Angela’s birthday, she openly expressed that her greatest gift was Gotti. In interviews, Gotti reciprocated, declaring Angela as “the one.” During this time, Angela also shared how Yo Gotti served as her primary source of inspiration, emphasizing their mutual understanding and his entrepreneurial spirit, which motivates her to strive for excellence. Angela conveyed her contentment in the relationship, emphasizing their happiness in the present moment rather than rushing into the future. She expressed her satisfaction, highlighting the importance of embracing the current phase of their journey and trusting that things will unfold naturally in due time. Overall, Angela conveyed a sense of tranquility and fulfillment, indicating her readiness to let things evolve at their own pace while relishing the happiness of the present.
So, folks, this happened just the other day. Everything seemed picture-perfect until then, but it all turned out to be a facade. Among breakup speculations, city gossip circulated a tweet and a photo alleging a side relationship. The tweet read, “Looks like Gotti and Angela split or he’s cheating, spotted with his nurse boo in Vegas at the ARA hotel last week. Remember nurse Bay from December 2022, around when Angela deactivated her Instagram? Is Gotti cheating with her all along? Seems he’s been involved with his nurse Bay and maybe others this whole time. Unbelievable, the audacity of some men.”
You know what’s interesting? Some folks weren’t surprised at all by the way things unfolded. One person mentioned, “I always had a feeling his connection with Angela was more for showbiz than anything else. He needed some positive publicity, especially with the shadow of Young Dolph’s death still lingering.” Others focused on Angela’s streak of bad luck in relationships, noting how unfortunate her romantic endeavors have been. Let me break it down for you: first, there was Bow Wow, who called it quits over Angela’s commitment to remain celibate until marriage. Then came Ricky Hill, followed by Terry Kennedy, who shattered her trust by being unfaithful, leaving her heartbroken once again.
Angela’s romantic history includes a relationship with Oscar “Skills” Selinas in October 2008, culminating in an engagement in 2009, which was called off the following year. Following this, she briefly dated Rob Kardashian before relocating to New York, ending their romance. In 2010, Angela had a short-lived relationship with Julius Peppers, lasting only a month, with no public explanation for their split. Rumors circulated about her involvement with Romeo Miller, though both denied the relationship. Later, she was seen with Morgan O’Connor, photographed in affectionate poses, but their rumored romance appeared to fizzle out for reasons unknown.
Brandon Jennings was also in the mix. Internet users spotted separate photos of them both wearing the same shirt, sparking rumors among fans that they were an item. This led to Brandon’s then on-again-off-again girlfriend, Tiana Taylor, throwing some shade at Angela in a tweet. “Last night before B, I had an awesome meal, I didn’t finish, wonder if she wants that too.” Not sure how that saga ended, but between October 2015 and October 2017, Angela was involved with Sutton Tennyson. The two even announced their engagement in April 2016, shortly after news broke that Angela was pregnant, despite her desire to wait until marriage. However, just two months later, a woman came forward claiming to be Sutton’s mistress and provided evidence of their relationship.
Angela’s romantic journey has seen its share of ups and downs. Her relationship with Daniel Jacobs lasted six months before ending. Prior to that, there were speculations about her dating London on the Track, Khalil Mack, and Serge Ibaka. It’s quite a list of unsuccessful romances. Additionally, Angela once hinted at experiencing domestic violence in a past relationship, though she chose not to disclose the name. She described instances where hands were used, objects thrown, and enough force applied to cause bruises, emphasizing that such behavior was unacceptable and she eventually recognized when it was time to walk away.
Imagine enduring a series of failed relationships, including instances of domestic violence, only to find yourself in a situation where the person you’ve been pursued by for seven years ends up cheating on you with an ex. And as if love drama wasn’t enough, Angela’s troubles extend beyond matters of the heart. Recently, her former landlord filed a lawsuit against her, and rumors suggest that Gotti, whom she relied on for support, is financially strapped himself.
The saga began when Angela rented a flat in New Jersey back in October 2019. Allegedly, she accrued substantial late fees for consistently failing to pay her rent in full. Over time, the outstanding amount ballooned to approximately $50,000. Legal documents reveal that Angela neglected to address the complaint, leading the court to issue a default judgment against her totaling $488,000. This sum encompasses late fees, unpaid rent, as well as expenses for repairs and other charges.
Because Gotti is financially strained or they have ended their relationship, he is unable to assist her in her current situation. As I mentioned, Angela and Gotti have not directly discussed a breakup yet, but multiple sources have confirmed that Angela ended things after discovering Gotti’s ongoing involvement with his nurse companion and potential infidelity with other women. However, it’s plausible that Angela was already aware of the situation but chose to react once it became public knowledge. There have also been rumors suggesting that their relationship was causing turbulence in the industry. I’m just hoping this breakup doesn’t affect another couple.
