In another Insta story, the shoe designer and “Rake It Up” rapper were both in attendance at Dubai’s waterfront thus adding onto the dating speculations.

The Shade Room wasted no time uploading Simmons and Gotti’s Insta stories onto their page where fans noted how much persistence Gotti has if he in fact bagged the 35-year-old entrepreneur. 

“Took him 20 years this is a dream”

“He was most definitely her last pick, but sis said oh well”

“Don’t give up kings, write a song about the shorty you want today!”

Gotti and Simmons first stirred up dating rumors back in late September after they were seen hanging out at a club for Simmons’ 35th birthday. 

Simmons was dancing to Gotti’s 2015 hit song “Down in the DM,” which mentioned the 41-year-old having “a crush on Angela.”

In a 2016 interview with Hot 97, Gotti discussed his relationship with Simmons as he confirmed sending his woman crush flowers and also explained what an ideal date with her would look like. 

“We would probably do something different, man, you know, we had to go to different places. Probably get away from her for a minute, or come to my city.”

He continued to suggest even bringing Simmons to his native city, Memphis, Tennessee. 
“Sometimes it’s good for people to come to your environment then you go to their environment. So they can see what’s really real, what you dealing with every day, and you see what they are dealing with every day.”

It seems as if Gotti has the ultimate power of manifestation; if speculations are correct, the rapper can proudly say he took his celeb crush on one of his ideal dates.

Independent journalism still matters.

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.
