‘I Know Rev Run Ain’t Seen These Pics’: Angela Simmons’ PDA-Filled Photos With Boyfriend Yo Gotti Has Fans Swooning Over Their Connection

Angela Simmons is really into her new beau, Yo Gotti, and she does not care what anyone else has to say about their relationship.

While the public has weighed in on the surprising love connection, Simmons made it known in a recent post on Instagram that she is blissfully enjoying her time with the CEO of CMG Records. 

“I know you can’t help but to be yourself ‘round me #WeDontNeedWorldsAcceptance,” she wrote while using lyrics from Beyoncé’s Grammy Award-winning song, “Plastic Off The Sofa.”

Still, fans made sure to flood the comment section with compliments about their “carefree” relationship

“I don’t know abt your past relationships but you look happy and just carefree and comfortable with him. It’s just nice to see,” wrote one person.

“When a man likes you more than you like him…. He gone always keep you glowing. Happy for you both,” wrote another person.

Many could not help but notice how happy the 35-year-old entrepreneur appears. In one of the three snapshots, Simmons is shown sitting on the Memphis native’s lap, and in another, she has her leg placed across his lap and she wraps her arms around him.

The blush-worthy poses sparked a handful of comments about their PDA, including one that read, “It’s giving, ‘it went down in the dmz.'”

Another fan who brought up Simmons’ father said, “I know Rev Run ain’t seen these pics.”

In 2016, Gotti famously rapped, “I got a crush on Angela Simmons,” in his hit song “Down in the DM.” Seven years later, the “Growing Up Hip Hop” star confirmed new rumors that they are now a romantic item. Several fans have since applauded the artist for manifesting the woman of his dreams. Simmons’ father has yet to comment on her new relationship.

However, she has previously been linked to a few notable faces, such as Bow Wow, with whom she had an on-and-off courtship during their teens and early adulthood years.

Her last public relationship was with boxer Daniel Jacobs in 2020. She was previously engaged to businessman Sutton Tennyson after dating for two years. They welcomed their son, Sutton Joseph Tennyson, in 2016, and ended their short-lived engagement in 2017. Shortly after their split, Sutton’s father lost his life to gun violence in 2018.

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.
