‘Baby Girl Certified’: Angela Simmons Leaves Fans Thirsting With ‘Bad B–ch’ Pic

The internet is feeling the heat from “Growing Up Hip Hop” star Angela Simmons after viewing her latest sexy upload.

The 32-year-old mother posted a week old picture from her recent birthday trip to Miami, Florida. The photo, which was taken by celebrity photographer Ted Joseph, showed Simmons posing fiercely in the middle of a street median, wearing distressed denim shorts and a cropped black graphic tee.

She paired her get-up with clear pumps and silver accessories and rocked her natural hair in loose waves. A bare-faced Simmons proudly showed off her assets to the camera and captioned the image via Instagram: “Missing these palm trees 🌴 💋”

Her post received over 79,000 likes and a shower of compliments.

“Baby girl a certified a walking 🏆 @angelasimmons you fine asl bae”

“Missing them thighs like I met them 🤦🏿‍♂️🔥 lovie u always giving us ANGIE!”

“She ate with the heels, killing it snappin it up in Miami like lemme get some cake with those thighs 🎂”

“Gawd dam angela steppin😏😍 and applying pressure. Real bad b–ch vibes”

Simmons isn’t one to shy away from showing her natural God-given curves.

Over the years, she’s urged her followers to celebrate being confident within themselves and to care less about what people think.

“Confidence is key to life,” she wrote via Instagram on Feb. 20. “With confidence you win . When you have this ingredient … you do what you want. You can comfortably be in your own skin. There is nothing anyone can do or say to shake that.”

On top of being a confidence advocate, she also believes in supporting young women in crisis. While discussing her project Pressure Makes Diamonds social campaign, which helps women overcome their hardships, she said at the 2019 Essence Festival in July, “I know that everyone has a story and we either come out as diamonds or we can came out as coal.”

“It’s really your story that makes you, it’s not what you do, it’s who you are today,” she added.

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

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.

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.
