Angela Simmons and Brandon Jennings (March 2013 – May 2013)

Jennings and Simmons sparked dating rumors after being spotted at the mall together. Separate photos of them wearing the same shirt hit the internet, prompting fans to believe they were now an item. This caused Jennings’s then on-again/off-again girlfriend, entrepreneur Teyana Taylor, to tweet, “Last night before bed I had an awesome meal I didn’t finish wonder if she wants that too,” which led people to believe she was referencing Simmons.

While Simmons never responded to Taylor’s tweet, Jenning’s first child’s mother, Sakoya Wynter, said she had an issue with Simmons in an episode of “Growing Up Hip Hop” in 2018 because she claims Simmons dated her child’s father around the same time Wynter had their now son.

Simmons discussed their broken friendship on “Growing Up Hip Hop” as well as during a 2019 interview for “The Breakfast Club,” where she said, “To me he didn’t step up at all. I don’t expect nobody to do nothing for me; that’s fine, but he didn’t step up.”
