Angela Simmons and her son, Sutton, had an interesting conversation about dating. The “Growing Up Hip Hop” reality star struggled to find the words to explain to her son the rules of dating.
In an Instagram post, Simmons shared two videos, where she repeatedly told her son he wasn’t allowed to have a girlfriend. In the caption, she wrote, This is TEW much ! HELP! Like what? Where did he get this from? Absolutely not! Lol, #16GirlFriends? How about none?”
In the first video, Simmons said to her son, “You can’t have any girlfriends,” who interjected yelling, “Yes I can.” Simmons explained to her 5-year-old that he was too young to have a girlfriend. In disbelief, he said, “I’m big enough to have a lot. I’m a teenager.”
She then asked Sutton to share the names of his so-called girlfriends. He said, “I have 16. Sawyer, Chloe, Scarlett, Emma and I’m just going to purchase some for everyone…”
In a second video, Simmons tried to explain to her son the importance of loyalty but he wasn’t hearing it. He doubled-down, telling his mother, “I’m ready for 16 girlfriends. I have them so I can purchase them.”
Fans in the comments were left crying and laughing at Sutton’s remarks, though some are unsure what he meant.
One person asked, “Did he say I can purchase them?” Another said, “Hahahah omg this is EPIC. He had me when he started naming them.”
Angela’s ex Bow Wow chimed in with his own advice, telling Sutton, “Yeaaah talk ya talk! U need like 25 GF’s.”
Sutton’s aunt Tanice Amira said, “OMG Ang! He said I’m ready. My heart can’t take it.”
Tanice’s husband and Angela’s brother Jojo Simmons caught wind of Sutton’s remarks and wrote on Instagram page for The Shade Room, “Ever since he moved to Atlanta this how he moving.”
Simmons followed up behind him adding, “Lord help me. It’s too much.”
Simmons and her ex-fiancé, Sutton Tennyson, welcomed their son in 2016. They called off their engagement two years later. Tennyson was fatally shot and killed in Atlanta, Georgia, on Nov. 3, 2018.
Simmons recently moved from New York to Atlanta, which has become the backdrop for season two of her reality series, “Just Angela,” on Aspire TV. It showcases how the native New Yorker navigates parenting through grief, her vegan diet and living in Georgia. In a clip from the series, Angela tells her son’s godfather, Charles Johnson, that she and Tennyson originally planned to move to Atlanta.
She said, “I moved here and I realized at that moment that me and Sutton agreed that by the time SJ was five we would be in Atlanta. But I didn’t realize that in the process. That’s the crazy part about it all.”
