‘Thicccc’: Angela Simmons Leaves Tongues Wagging With New Photo

Angela Simmons was showing off her glutes on Friday, April 17. The reality star from “Growing Up Hip Hop,” made it known that she was working from home in the early hours of the California morning. She posted a photo of herself to Instagram that showcased her at-home office space, but fans were seemingly taken aback by her seductive stance.

Simmons wore a gray two-piece sweatsuit as her teleworking attire. Her hair was pulled up into a top-knot bun and she appeared to be sipping on a cup of coffee. She sported a pair of glasses and looked as if she was getting ready to officially start her day. She wrote in her caption: “Grind mode activated ✅.” Simmons, the creator of the shoe line Pastry, was standing in her place of business during the time her photograph was taken. Her Mac desktop computer was covered in orange Post-it notes.

The fashion designer turned to the side and lifted her leg to strike her pose. She gave off the impression that she was flaunting her cakes, and fans were raving over her alluring posture.

“Looking like a whole wife to quarantine and build with,” one user said.

“That pose🍑🍑🍑🍑🍑🍑.”

A third user screamed, “Cakes!!!”

“This mf picture cold 😍🔥🔥,” a fourth fan gushed.

“Work work work work work!!!💯🙌🏿,” a fifth user encouraged.

“Thicccc 🍑.”

A seventh user wrote, “That thing look like a Georgia Peach.”

“DONK🍑.”

Simmons, the founder of the Built Not Bought fitness program, works hard to maintain her firm backside. She exercises five to six times a week and follows a strict vegetarian diet. The apparent gym rat went to the gym 13 days after giving birth to her son, Sutton Joseph, in 2016. She shared on Instagram that her doctor approved her light workout, but fans were still impressed that she made it to the gym less than two weeks after having a baby.

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.
