Angela Simmons on Yo Gotti Split: ‘I’d Be A Great Wife’

It’s been a minute since Angela Simmons and rapper Yo Gotti called it quits in 2025, but the reality star is finally opening up about the split. In a candid conversation on Cam Newton’s ‘Funky Friday’ podcast, Simmons shared insights into their relationship, what she learned, and what she’s now looking for in a partner.

From ‘Crush’ to Relationship and Beyond

Fans will recall Yo Gotti famously referencing Simmons as his “crush” in his 2016 track “Down in the DM.” Years later, their connection blossomed into a relationship that began in 2022. When Newton asked if the crush should have remained just that, Simmons emphatically said no, stating she had a “great relationship” with Gotti and his family, whom she still loves and respects.

So, what led to the breakup? Simmons explained that while the relationship was great, they ultimately weren’t on the same page regarding the next major step: marriage. She believes Gotti might not have been ready for that commitment, leading to their divergence in life paths.

Lessons Learned and Future Hopes

The most significant takeaway from the relationship, according to Simmons, is the realization that “I’d be a great wife.” This experience has clearly solidified her readiness for a committed, marital partnership. While she didn’t explicitly state Gotti wouldn’t be a great husband, her explanation pointed to a difference in readiness and life stages.

Despite the breakup, Simmons maintains a positive relationship with Yo Gotti and his family. When asked about the possibility of reconciliation, she responded with a thoughtful, “I can do what God wants me to do,” leaving the door open but not actively pursuing it.

What Angela’s Looking For Now

Back on the dating scene, Simmons shared what she’s seeking in a new partner. Moving beyond labels like “street dude,” she prioritizes authenticity, stating, “I’m attracted to real.” Character and the way someone carries themselves are key factors for her. She also values men who are protectors and providers.

When it comes to dealbreakers, honesty is paramount. Simmons made it clear that dishonesty is a major red flag, preferring open conversations over hidden secrets. She believes in transparency, especially when she’s willing to put everything on the table herself.
