‘He Tryna Facetime His Girl’: Angela Simmons’ Son SJ Is a Trip While Making Phone Calls With His ‘Abs Out’

Angela Simmons‘ toddler son SJ is truly something else out here on the internet, where his mom stays putting his business on blast.

In the latest episode of “look what SJ is up to,” the 3-year-old is spotted walking around the home in a pair of gray sweatpants — sans socks and shirt — with her earbuds in as he waits for a special someone to pick up his call.

Stopped by his mother in what appears to be a hallway, the little guy says, “He’s not answering,” before placing another call. His mom, less concerned about her son’s very important phone call going unanswered, completely changed the subject.

“What, where’s your shirt at?” asked Simmons. Her son simply responded, “Ohhh,” with a cute smile.

As usual, folks on social media were amused by the little fella and his antics.

“SJ is a trip man!!😂😂” and “SJ is a mess Such a BIGG Lil Man,” wrote some who viewed the video. In total, the play button was hit more than 160,000 times.

“So cute who was he calling they better pick up next time”

“He tryna facetime his girl with the abs out 😂,” jokingly wrote one person.

While another person was caught off guard at how much the little kid knows how to do.

“He know how to use a cellphone? Whoa 😳”

“He’s such a lil man😍😍😍”

Now, this is far from the first time Simmons’ son has turned necks with his shenanigans. He’s left his internet aunts and uncles cackling at how he must have the freshest gear when stepping out in these streets, and when he gave his mom the third degree for not cleaning her closet.

Whether he’s flicking it up with his mom, interrupting her TikTok videos, or simply living his best kid life, he always has a bevy of folks swooning over his adorable face.

“His is adorable! 💙”

“😍 handsome lil guy”

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.
