‘Did U Finally Let Gotti Slide Through and Wife U’: Angela Simmons’ Fans Ask If She’s Dating Her Admirer Yo Gotti After She Shared This Pic

Angela Simmons’ latest upload on Feb. 26 had fans assuming that the reality star gave her admirer rapper Yo Gotti a chance after she was spotted standing next to her newly customized turquoise Range Rover. Simmons captioned her post in honor of her “Tiffany & Co.” inspired vehicle, “Hardly home but always reppin’🗽.”

She also tagged the company, No Limit Auto Body Paramus, that did the car bodywork. No Limit Auto Body Paramus in New Jersey reposted the image on their Instagram page and confirmed that Simmons did indeed own the vehicle by responding to a fan who assumed it was a rental. They said, “”hey….This is in fact @angelasimmons personal vehicle. This is no rental…we don’t rent out cars at all…we just customize and repair collisions.”

The color turquoise is significant to the “Rack It Up” rapper because he spent about $1.3 million to customized his cars — a Rolls-Royce truck, Ferrari F8, and Lamborghini — to that color for his birthday last year. Although it’s unclear if the reality star is dating Yo Gotti, that didn’t stop fans from speculating that the pair were an item.

“That Yo Gotti Tiffany Blue 💎💎💎.”

“Yo Gotti😮.”

“Looking at the color of the Rover I figured I’d see @yogotti in the pic.”

“Had to come to the page myself. Girl what are u tryna say. Did you finally let gotti slide through and wife u.”

One even suggested that the “Growing Up Hip Hop” star give the rapper a shot. “Gon ahead and give yo gotti a chance and stop playin lol. is this how subliminal y’all women is lol.”

The Memphis native first expressed his love for the mother of one in his 2015 hit song “Down in the DM,” where the emcee was quoted saying, “And I just follow Angela (Simmons)…Boy, I got a crush on Angela (Simmons).” Yo Gotti didn’t stop there. Within the same year, he mentioned Simmons’ name again in another song called “Save it for Me,” featuring Chris Brown.

He said while mentioning the reality star’s ex-fiancé Sutton Tennyson: “Passed my number to Angela. I thought I had her…Her n–a cuffed her, married, it made me madder. I respect it, I’m moving on, but the truth is I want her badder.”

Although his crush on Simmons has been apparent, the 33-year-old has never publicly responded to his pursuit.

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.
