As 2023 began, both Gotti and Simmons confirmed their relationship on social media with multiple posts. Simmons, 35, shared that she is “Happier than I’ve ever been” with the 41-year-old Hip-Hop artist.
On Yo Gotti’s Instagram account, he wrote “Ain loss a crush since High School,” followed by the black heart emoji. His brag might be true, as fans have listened to the Memphis rapper share his attraction for the fashionista for years.
In 2015, he rapped “And I just followed Angela (Simmons) / Boy, I got a crush on Angela Simmons / They like, ‘Damn Gotti, you bold’ / f**k it, I’m gon’ let the world know,” on his song “Down In The DM,” which was later remixed to feature Nicki Minaj.
He continued to express his romantic intentions in 2017’s “Save It For Me”, which features Chris Brown. On the song, the CMG boss raps “Passed my number to Angela, I thought I had her/Her ni**a 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/Maybe me bein’ a G was kind of bad for her/But me bein’ a G, I was glad for her.”
Simmons’ ex-fiance Sutton Tennyson, who is the father of Simmons’ child, was murdered at his Atlanta home in November 2018. In April 2022, Michael Williams was officially sentenced to life for murder, as well as an additional 15 years for possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.
