A recent photo post of “Growing Up Hip Hop” star Angela Simmons spiraled out of control after folks advised her and Romeo Miller to make their relationship “official.”

Simmons took to Instagram on Sunday, Jan. 27, and shared an image of herself in a white cropped top, a pair of distressed denim jeans and a pink faux fur jacket. She accentuated her outfit with a pair of over-sized hoop earrings and rose-gold pumps.

“Pinking of you đŸ’•đŸ„° #NycNights,” the 31-year-old captioned the picture.

Folks instantly thought Simmons’ Instagram caption was a cryptic message to her long-time friend and alleged love interest Romeo Miller. The duo have expressed their romantic interest in one another over the past years but made the decision to remain friends.

Fans are now urging Simmons and Miller to ditch their friendship and get together romantically.

“Look Romeo she’s Pinking of You đŸ€Ł,” one fan wrote. “Stop playing and scoop her up before it’s too late.”

Another added, “I hope of you pinking of Romeo ya’ll  need to quit faking with each other lol.”

Another fan commented, “@Angelasimmons you are beautiful! Please quit playing with @romeomiller! Please don’t make the mistake that so many of us make-letting a good man get away! While you playing somebody else is gonna come and swoop him up😍!!”

In July 2018, rumors flew that Simmons and Miller were an item after the fashion designer wrote on her Instagram that she was extremely happy as she was sending a shout-out to her “partner” Miller. They both were also spotted in New Orleans for the 2018 Essence Music Festival.

“I’ve never smiled so much and meant it 😁 #ThankYouGod #GUHH swipe right for picture with my partner @romeomiller đŸŽ„,” Simmons wrote.

Nonetheless, in December, Miller confirmed to Page Six that he and Simmons were just friends and nothing more.

“We’re good friends and we got good chemistry, but I am also about respect,” the rapper said.

He told the outlet that in wake of the death of Simmons’ ex-fiancĂ© Sutton Tennyson, who was shot and killed in November, 2018, he was putting his romantic interest in Simmons on the back burner.

“She lost somebody, and she definitely got to grieve,” Miller added. “I am not a dude to take advantage of that. 
 We cool though. That is one of my good friends. I think people just want to see people like that together in general. But you can’t rush that — whatever happens, happens.”

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.
