‘I Refuse to Live a Lie’: Romeo Miller Says Angela Simmons’ Sexy Pics Didn’t Ruin Their Friendship

“Growing Up Hip Hop” cast member Romeo Miller posted a message about Angela Simmons and their former friendship. At one time, it looked like the pair were going to take their relationship from platonic to romantic, but that never happened.

Simmons used a recent stop at “The Breakfast Club” to talk about their friendship ending and said Miller wasn’t there for her when her child’s father Sutton Tennyson was killed in 2018. She also said the former child rapper cut off communication with her.

Then on an episode of “Growing Up Hip Hop” that aired earlier this month, the “My Baby” rhymer told Simmons’ older sister Vanessa Simmons that his friendship with the mother of one was doing him “more harm than good.”

He then slammed Simmons for the many bikini pics she posts and said to Vanessa, “Your sister don’t have to do certain things. … But you know Angela, she likes that camera.”

On Thursday, Miller addressed his relationship with Simmons on Instagram and said they haven’t been close for some time. It also seemed like he addressed her thirst traps.

“Shoutout to the fan who posted this clip, because I’ve been nothing but respectful and although we do have our differences, I will never unfriend someone over what they post on social media 😂,” wrote Miller next to a video that shows him speaking to Vanessa.

“The context of me and V convo was more so about every ACTION having a REACTION and being able to live with that,” he added. “That’s life. We all have free will and we all are constantly changing. As far as Me and Ang (just like others in my life), we haven’t been close in years, and I refuse to live a lie on tv.”

Miller then closed his message by saying only time would tell if he and Simmons would fix their friendship, either on or off camera.

“🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿 Romeo for the win,” one person wrote under his post.

“Class Act @romeomiller well done !” wrote another.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

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 in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones 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.
