Yo Gotti and Angela Simmons have been an item for over a year now. The beginnings of their relationship were the subject of a lot of media attention.
Last November, Hot News Hip Hop took a look back at the unorthodox approach the rapper took to catching Angela’s attention. The first hint at a potential romance between the pair came back in 2015. When Yo Gotti released his track Down in the DM, he publicly declared his affection for Rev Run’s daughter.
He rapped the lyrics: “And I just followed Angela. Boy, I got a crush on Angela Simmons.” This honest statement of interest received plenty of attention, but Angela was not interested in responding to Yo Gotti’s rap. It would be years before the two of them became a couple.
In the intervening years, Angela would experience tragedy after the loss of her one-time fiance, Sutton Tennyson, with whom she shared a son, in 2018. It would be another five years before Yo Gotti and Angela’s names were linked again.
Yo Gotti rapped about her again on the song Save It For Me. And last year, he finally took his chance with her.
Angela and Yo Gotti decided to start the year 2023 with the announcement that they were in a relationship. They both took to Instagram to share pictures of each other along with captions declaring what Hot News Hip Hop described as “a declaration of love and mutual admiration.”
Angela shared a series of shots from an elegant photoshoot with Yo Gotti. In the caption, she wrote: “You are all I need and more”, followed by a love heart emoji. She later posted another photo from inside a luxury car, showing her being poured a glass of champagne by her new partner.
Yo Gotti Shares His Extravagant Gifts on Social Media
Since going official on social media, the couple have continued to share public displays of their feelings for each other.
For her 36th birthday, Yo Gotti reportedly arranged a collection of expensive and stylish gifts for his partner. These included bouquets of flowers, black Chanel boxes, and white candles. The scene also included tribal dancers and a saxophone player performing on a beach.
The footage, shared on Instagram, showed Angela getting emotional as Yo Gotti revealed what he’d done for her. Angela then took to Instagram herself, writing in her Stories that she had been touched by the gesture and calling Yo Gotti her “best gift.”
A few months later, Yo Gotti used his music again to celebrate his relationship with Angela. People magazine reported that the video for his new song, The One, showcased moments from the couple’s new life together.
The 42-year-old rapped about his girlfriend in the “PDA-filled music video” starring both the rapper and Angela. The video was filmed during a trip to Greece and Dubai, and it featured clips of the couple kissing and driving around in a Rolls Royce.
Yo Gotti’s lyrics matched the video rapping, “You give me butterflies in your stomach, like we still in middle school.” Yo Gotti even admitted on the track that he got “nervous vibes” when he missed Angela. Angela went on to appear in another of his videos, No Fake Love, which again mused on the pair’s loving relationship.
After getting so spoiled for her own birthday, Angela decided to treat her partner. Hot News Hip Hop reported that she gifted Yo Gotti a Tesla for his birthday.
Rumors Spread That Yo Gotti Was Seeing Someone Else
Although the couple show nothing but generosity and affection for each other online, their relationship also came into question following some rumors. Distractify reported in October of last year that a gossip site had alleged that Yo Gotti had started seeing someone else. The outlet then reported that neither Angela nor Yo Gotti had responded to the rumors that their relationship was over.
However, it had been reported elsewhere that the couple were facing other problems. Allegedly, Yo Gotti “distanced himself” from Angela after TMZ reported she was carrying a $48,000 debt related to overdue rent.
TMZ claimed that Angela had left her penthouse apartment in New Jersey without paying her dues. In court documents obtained by the media outlet, a judge ordered Angela to pay over 48 thousand dollars for alleged late fees for not paying her rent in late 2020.

Despite all the challenges the couple has reportedly faced in the last year, they now seem to be doing fine. Recently, they have been seen attending a Memphis Grizzlies game and the Grammy Awards ceremony together. Over Christmas, People reported that Yo Gotti had gifted Angela rare Hermes Birkin bags worth around $400,000.
So, money doesn’t seem to be an issue for the couple.
