Angela Simmons Confirms Split with Rapper Gotti on Podcast

New York, NY – Angela Simmons has confirmed her split from rapper Gotti during an appearance on Angie Martinez‘s IRL podcast. During the episode, Simmons, 37, addressed rumors surrounding her relationship status when Martinez asked, “Are you telling me right now you’re in your single girl era again?”

Simmons responded, “Not by choice, but you know, I respect him,” leaving listeners curious about the details of their breakup. Martinez pressed Simmons for clarity, questioning who ended the relationship. Simmons clarified, “No, it was my choice, you know, I just, I had to make a decision.”

The discussion turned to Gotti’s long-standing affection for Simmons, highlighted by his 2016 song “Down In The DM,” where he proclaimed his feelings for her. Martinez expressed disbelief that Gotti would end the relationship, but Simmons emphasized her autonomy in the decision.

While she refrained from revealing too much, Simmons stated, “Some stuff is better left unsaid,” and wished Gotti well: “Again, much love and respect to him, he’s doing his thing, I’m happy for him.”

Days before the podcast, Simmons hinted at their breakup on social media, sharing a cryptic message on her Instagram Stories: “I want what wants me in life. In all areas. What flows FLOWS. What goes GOES.” This post, along with her choice of Chris Brown and Usher‘s “New Flame” as background music, led followers to speculate about the end of their romance.

Simmons and Gotti began dating in 2022 and made their relationship public on New Year’s Day, 2023. While the split has come as a surprise to many fans, Simmons appears focused on her own journey ahead.
