‘I’m Cheesing Like I Know Them Personally’: Fans Gush Over Angela Simmons and Yo Gotti Cuddled Up Courtside Pics 

Angela Simmons and Yo Gotti are gradually becoming fans’ favorite couple to gush over. 

The couple recently attended a basketball game between the Memphis Grizzlies and Cleveland Cavaliers at FedExForum on January 18 in Gotti’s hometown, Memphis, Tennessee. They were photographed sitting courtside in color-coordinated fits, paying more attention to each other than the game. 

Both Gotti and Simmons were seen stylishly rocking black-and-white fits. Gotti, also known as the manifestation king, wore a black tee, black pants, and a black jacket with a white bone-like outline running down his arms.

As for his long-time crush, she had on a black-and-white Balenciaga set that had three white lines running down her body’s perimeter. They each iced their outfits out with matching watches, a few necklaces, and some bracelets.

Simmons uploaded a separate photo onto her Instagram page, in which the rapper stares her down as she seemingly shows him something on her cellphone. 

“Long as I’m next to you [red heart],” she captioned their cuffing pic.

Fans are gushing over Gotti and Simmon’s relationship and couple photos online, despite fans who initially side-eyed their relationship.

“I was hating at first, but y’all growing on me.”

“Yeah, I like this match, he got what he wanted and is treating her right.”

“I’m so enjoying this couple.”

“I’m cheesing like I know them personally.” 

“I am here for it.”

Gotti also shared a photo on his Instagram and Twitter page, which captures Simmons looking up at something while Gotti was focused on watching point guard Ja Morant in the game. 

“Yea I f–k wit Ja but ion fuk wit 12… Welcome to my city [black heart],” the Memphis native wrote. 

When rumors surrounding their possible romance came to light, an overflow of opinions started to form about Simmons’ dating history and Gotti’s intentions. 

Some fans suggested that the 35-year-old “ran out of options,” causing her to give Gotti a chance after seven years. Others credited Gotti’s persistence to the idea that he wanted to hit it and quit it. 

Despite the critics’ opinions, Simmons and Gotti seem to be going strong and continue to shut down the internet with every new picture they share.

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

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.

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.
