Yo Gotti first revealed his crush on Angela Simmons in his 2015 hit Down In The DM

Yo Gotti and Angela Simmons first went public with their relationship during New Year’s Eve 2022. According to HipHopDX, they began dating sometime in 2022. At the time, the Tennessee native shared a romantic photo shoot with Angela on Instagram. Meanwhile, the model shared a series of pictures from the photoshoot with the message, "You are all I need and more," as per the outlet.

Notably, the rapper first revealed his "crush" on Simmons in his 2015 hit Down In The DM, where Yo Gotti rapped:

"I love the 'Gram, I love the 'Gram (I love the 'Gram) / I'm addicted to it, I know I am (I know I am) / And I just followed Angela (Simmons) / Boy, I got a crush on Angela Simmons."

The CMG The Label founder also name-dropped Angela in his 2017 collab with Chris Brown, Save It For Me. Referencing Simmons' then-engagement to Sutton Tennyson, he sang that it only made him want the model more. He wrote:

"Passed my number to Angela / I thought I had her/ Her n**ga cuffed her, married, it made me madder / I respect it, I’m moving on, but the truth is I want her badder / Maybe me sayin’ her name made him move faster."

Angela shares a son with Tennyson, and they called off their engagement later that year. Tennyson was shot and killed outside his home in November 2018.

Simmons and Yo Gotti sparked romance rumors in September 2022, when they were spotted partying together at a nightclub during the model's 35th birthday.

The couple has since maintained a relatively smooth relationship, with rumors of an engagement surfacing in September 2024. According to Vibe, the rapper allegedly took Simmons for a romantic getaway during her 37th birthday, where he reportedly proposed. However, these speculations were never confirmed.

However, in a May 2025 article, MTO, citing an "insider," reported that the pair called it quits. The source claimed that the separation didn't happen overnight, adding:

"Angela felt like she was putting in more effort than she was getting back. Yo Gotti’s schedule was nonstop—studios, business, appearances—and she started feeling like she wasn’t a priority."

Notably, the source suggested that Simmons was frustrated by Yo Gotti's closeness with one of the artists from his record label, GloRilla.

The rapper himself shared a cryptic Instagram post on Sunday (May 25) with the caption:

"Lonely in London.."

Simmons later took to her Instagram story again and posted the word "Hmm," which many speculate is in response to Yo Gotti's post.
