‘Get it Queen’: Angela Simmons’ ‘Natural Body’ Wins Praise on Social Media

If there’s one thing Angela Simmons is known for, it’s her shapely figure.

The “Growing Up Hip Hop” celeb recently showed off her curves in tie-dye leggings while lifting weights in the gym.

“Let’s get it @thebestdamntrainer 💪🏽 #BNB#builtnotbought link in bio ! On my app @purpose_app . Join me 🙌🏽”

In the video of Simmons flaunting her physique, she also showcased her natural beauty, working out seemingly barefaced. Fans went gaga over her post.

“I know that’s right #builtnotbought cost nothing to workout @angelasimmons.

“S.J go hide your mom from me i think im fallin in love with her curves.”

“Hardwork pay off go get it Queen💪🏾👸💯.”

” A natural body 😍😍😍.”

The 32-year-old mother is huge on fitness and health and often posts videos of herself hitting the gym. She even worked out throughout her whole pregnancy with now-2-year-old son Sutton Joseph.

“As soon as my doctor gave me the clearance in like two weeks to do it, I’m like, OK, I’m going to work out. So, I started my yoga,” she told “The Real” during an interview in 2016.

She’s also dealt with her weight fluctuation since having her son and said it’s a struggle some days to work out.

“I have to constantly find my inner strength in me to work for what I want,” she wrote on Instagram in August 2017. “I have watched my body go up and down in weight . I gained in different areas .. it’s such a different battle after child bearing . Weight doesn’t drop as quick . It takes true dedication and strength to lose it !!”

Simmons is praised quite often for taking pride in her natural curves, but she is also critiqued by fans who claim she’s seeking attention.

“She must be having a mid life crisis craving for attention 🤦🏽‍♂️.”

“I used to have so much respect for you before you started acting like a Kardashian 🤦.”

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
