‘Why Your Son Ain’t With You?’: Yo Gotti Gushes Over Angela Simmons’ New Vacation Post While Fans Bombard Her With Questions About Her Son

Angela Simmons is enjoying everything that summer has to offer, including opportunities to jet away on luxury vacations with her boyfriend, Yo Gotti.

Simmons, who is the mother of 6-year-old Sutton Joseph Tennyson, has had people up and down her timeline in a tizzy for weeks as she posts photos of herself and Gotti in Dubai, Greece, and other destinations. The couple put the rumors of a brewing romance to bed when they confirmed their relationship on New Year’s Day.

Since then, an ever-so-smitten Simmons has flooded social media with content flexing her upgraded swagger and various moments of her boo’d up with the CMG label executive.

The relationship has been met with adoration from Gotti and the “Growing Up Hip Hop” star’s fans, but for others, the growing absence of her son from social media has become an issue.

The entrepreneur, 35, recently posted a carousel of herself in a fitted blue dress with glam makeup and hair. In the caption, she wrote, “I’m a MOTHA.”

The catchphrase has gained notoriety since the online kerfuffle relating to Keke Palmer and her son’s father, Darius Jackson’s ongoing controversy over the actress’ sexy apparel.

According to the post, Simmons is currently in London for her third trip this month. Among those singing her praises was a comment from Gotti, who simply shared a red heart and queen emoji.

“Ang you left the other part out…you somebody wifey,” wrote another person. And a third commented, “his energy! I love down in the dms even more these days. He knew what he wanted….and knows what he has.”

More than a few bypassed commenting on how attractive Simmons appeared in the images and instead focused on the whereabouts of her son. They wrote: 

“Why your son ain’t with you? If he love you He’ll love everything that comes out of you… From your Rooter to your Tooter baby!”

“Where tf had your son been at then?!”

“Haven’t seen much of the kid lately keep glowing momma.”

The Pastry Shoes co-founder welcomed her son in 2016 with her former fiancé, Sutton Tennyson. They ended their engagement shortly after the birth in 2017. The following year, Tennyson was fatally shot 13 times in Atlanta. He died at age 37.

Still independent.

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.
