  • 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.

  • Angela Simmons Recalls Awkward Cam Newton Date

    Remember that awkward first date where you just couldn’t wait for it to be over? Angela Simmons recently shared a story about a 2011 encounter with Cam Newton that sounds exactly like that – a total nightmare! During an appearance on Newton’s own podcast, “Funky Friday,” Simmons didn’t hold back.

    A Diner Date Gone Wrong

    Simmons recalled meeting Newton for the first time at a diner, set up by a mutual friend. The conversation, however, quickly took a turn. According to Angela, Cam spent the entire time cracking jokes that he found hilarious, but she certainly didn’t.

    She described him laughing at his own punchlines and patting himself on the back, leaving her feeling completely unimpressed. “I was ready to go,” Simmons admitted, clearly signaling that the vibe was far from romantic.

    A Glimmer of Hope (and an Awkward Exit)

    Things apparently shifted slightly on the taxi ride back. Newton started being “nicer,” and they even sat outside the hotel to talk, giving Simmons a chance to see a different side of him. “That’s when I got to know you, and you were like super nice there,” she said. However, she quickly clarified that this wasn’t the start of a romance, stating, “that was like the end of our dating era.”

    Simmons described Newton’s behavior at the time as feeling “like an arrogant asshole.” She vividly remembered thinking, “This is not funny,” while he was clearly enjoying his own humor. The feeling of wanting to escape was strong.

    Newton’s Perspective: Pre-Draft Jitters?

    When asked about the date, Cam Newton admitted he doesn’t remember it playing out quite that way. He suggested he had “a lot on [his] mind” at the time, as it was the night before he was drafted. He even joked about not being able to imagine being “that corny” and suggested it might have been an “out-of-body experience.”

    While the date itself might not have been a success, it certainly made for an entertaining story! It’s a funny reminder that even celebrities have awkward dating moments.

  • Angela Simmons on Cam Newton: ‘Arrogant A-hole’ Date

    Remember that awkward blind date you went on where the other person just wouldn’t stop talking about themselves? Well, Angela Simmons recently shared a similar, cringe-worthy experience on Cam Newton’s podcast, and let’s just say the NFL star didn’t exactly make a great first impression.

    The ‘Ick’-Tastic Blind Date

    Angela Simmons appeared on Cam Newton’s ‘Funky Friday’ podcast, where the two decided to revisit a blind date they had way back in 2011. Set up by Kris Jenner’s partner, Corey Gamble, just before Newton’s NFL draft, the evening clearly left a lasting, and not entirely positive, impression on Simmons.

    According to Simmons, the date started off on the wrong foot. She recalled Newton dominating the conversation, cracking jokes that he found hilarious but she didn’t, and seemingly patting himself on the back. “You, the whole time, were making jokes and laughing at your own jokes,” Simmons shared. “And you were patting yourself on the back and laughing.”

    A Moment of Clarity (and Judgment)

    It wasn’t until they were heading back in a taxi that Newton started to soften up. Simmons admitted she was ready to call it a night, but they ended up talking outside her hotel, giving her a chance to get to know him a bit better. Newton himself admitted he didn’t remember being quite so ‘corny’ and was focused on his upcoming draft. Despite the initial awkwardness, they managed to maintain a friendship over the years, though they never went on another date.

    Simmons didn’t hold back when describing her feelings about the date. “It felt like an arrogant a-hole,” she stated bluntly. She vividly remembered thinking his jokes weren’t funny and his self-congratulatory laughter was a major turn-off. “I said, ‘Oh, I’m ready to go.’”

    Beyond the Date: New Ventures

    While the date with Newton might be a memorable anecdote, Simmons is currently focused on new creative endeavors. She’s exploring music as a spoken-word artist and recently released a track titled ‘Run To,’ featuring Jadakiss and Résa. Despite mixed reviews, Simmons is clearly embracing her artistic side and isn’t afraid to push creative boundaries.

  • Angela Simmons on Yo Gotti Breakup

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

    From ‘Crush’ to Relationship and Beyond

    Fans will remember Yo Gotti famously calling Simmons his “crush” in his 2016 track “Down in the DM.” Their relationship eventually blossomed years later, in 2022. When asked by Newton if the crush should have remained just that, Simmons firmly replied, “No, not at all. It’s good, it’s fine.” She reflected that the relationship taught her she’d be a “great wife.”

    Why They Went Their Separate Ways

    So, what led to the breakup? Simmons explained that it wasn’t about Yo Gotti not being a great husband, but rather about their differing timelines for the future. “At some point if it came to an end, it was just because I feel like, maybe he just wasn’t ready,” she shared. “And then, we’re not in the same space.”

    Despite the split, Simmons maintains a positive relationship with both Yo Gotti and his family, expressing love and respect for them. When asked about the possibility of getting back together, she offered a thoughtful, “I can do what God wants me to do.”

    What Angela Looks For in a Partner

    Since the breakup, Simmons has been back on the dating scene, though she remains single. She playfully mentioned that gifts are welcome on a first date! Clarifying her type beyond her brother’s “street dudes” comment, Simmons stated she’s attracted to “real” people, emphasizing character and how someone carries themselves. Key dealbreakers for her include dishonesty: “Don’t lie to me. You want to lie to me is stupid.”

    • Values honesty above all else.
    • Seeks genuine character and authenticity.
    • Appreciates protectors and providers.
    • Looks for someone who carries themselves well.
    • Open to gifts on a first date (playfully!).

    Simmons’s candid reflections offer a glimpse into her journey of self-discovery and her thoughtful approach to relationships. It’s clear she’s looking for a partner who is on the same page and values open communication.

  • Angela Simmons on Cam Newton Blind Date: ‘The Ick!’

    Remember that awkward blind date you went on where the other person just wasn’t vibing with you? Well, Angela Simmons recently shared a story about just that, involving none other than NFL star Cam Newton! Appearing on Newton’s ‘Funky Friday’ podcast, Simmons recounted a 2011 blind date that left her with a distinct feeling: ‘the ick.’

    A Date to Forget?

    The date, set up by Kris Jenner’s partner Corey Gamble before Newton’s draft, started off on shaky ground. Simmons explained that Newton spent the entire time telling and laughing at his own jokes, which she found decidedly unfunny. “You were patting yourself on the back and laughing,” she recalled, clearly unimpressed by the display of self-amusement.

    Newton himself admitted he didn’t remember being so ‘corny’ and acknowledged the pressure of the night before his draft. While Simmons was ready to call it quits, things apparently improved slightly during the taxi ride back and a chat outside her hotel, where she got to know him a bit better. Still, the initial impression was hard to shake.

    Friendship Over Romance

    Despite the initial ‘ick’ factor, Simmons was clear about her feelings: “It felt like an arrogant asshole.” She vividly remembered thinking, ‘This is not funny,’ and being ready to leave. However, over the 15 years since that single date, they’ve managed to maintain a friendship, proving that sometimes, romance just isn’t in the cards, but a connection can still exist.

    Newton’s recollection of the date also included a moment of confusion about whether the mutual friend who set them up was known to both of them, leading to some lighthearted confusion on the podcast. It seems the night was memorable for more reasons than one!

    Beyond the Date

    Interestingly, Angela Simmons also shared that she’s been focusing on new creative ventures, particularly in music. She’s ventured into spoken word artistry and recently released a track titled ‘Run To,’ featuring Jadakiss and Résa. While the reception has been mixed, Simmons is clearly embracing her artistic side and isn’t afraid to explore new avenues.

    It’s always fascinating to hear these behind-the-scenes stories from celebrities, especially when they involve past relationships and the quirky moments that define them. Even if a date doesn’t lead to romance, it can certainly lead to a good story years later!

  • Angela Simmons Debuts as Spoken-Word Artist Angela Renee

    It seems the musical talent runs deep in the Simmons family! Angela Simmons, known for her various ventures, is stepping into a new artistic lane as a spoken-word artist named Angela Renee. She’s not just dipping her toes in; she’s making a splash with her debut track, “Run To,” featuring hip-hop veterans Jadakiss and singer Résa.

    Finding Her Voice with ‘Run To’

    Angela Renee wants her new music to resonate on a deeper level. She explained to MadameNoire that “Run To” is all about capturing a feeling, a vibration, and speaking directly to listeners – and herself. It’s a song born from the universal experience of pain and the struggle to confront it.

    “I feel like everybody has things that they mask, and they do stuff to not face things, right? We all have pain,” she shared. The track explores the crucial “aha moment” when one decides to nurture themselves and face their issues, emphasizing the importance of mental well-being over just the physical.

    Embracing a Musical Legacy

    Born into the iconic Simmons family, with her father being the legendary Rev Run of Run-DMC, music is undeniably in Angela’s DNA. Her new venture sees her partnering with the historic Ruff Ryders label, a move that feels like a natural progression for her to carve out her own unique musical space.

    She described Ruff Ryders as family, acknowledging the deep legacy they share. Angela Renee feels she’s stepping into a lane that hasn’t been fully explored yet, aiming to create something fresh and engaging for her audience. “I feel like the lane I’m stepping into hasn’t quite been done yet,” she noted.

    Navigating the Age of AI

    In today’s rapidly evolving music industry, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a hot topic. Angela Renee shared her perspective, emphasizing the irreplaceable value of human creativity. “There’s nothing above a creative, human individual,” she stated.

    While acknowledging AI’s presence and future role, she stressed the importance of protecting one’s individual creativity and legacy. “It’s not to say that you can’t do stuff with AI, but it’s how you do it. What makes it so unique, and what’s special, is that it’s the individual. It’s what’s coming from you,” she explained. Her focus is on authenticity and ensuring her brand remains protected.

    Atlanta Launch for a New Chapter

    To celebrate the release of “Run To,” Angela Renee hosted an event in Atlanta, a city renowned for its significant influence on music and culture. Despite being a proud New Yorker, she recognized the importance of launching her new chapter in a place that resonates with artistic energy, citing artists like Ludacris and T.I. as inspirations.

    “Atlanta is very important when it comes to creativity and music, like, energy,” she said. The choice to launch in Atlanta felt “all in alignment” with her vision.
