Following weeks of speculation, Angela Simmons has confirmed her split from Memphis rapper Yo Gotti.
Simmons, 37, confirmed the rumors during a sit-down on Angie Martinez’s IRL podcast, where the legendary radio host asked, “Are you telling me right now you’re in your single girl era again?”
“Not by choice, but you know, I respect him,” Simmons replied, confusing Martinez, who followed up by asking who broke up with whom.
“This man proclaimed that he wanted to get with Angela Simmons,” Martinez said regarding Gotti announcing his crush on Simmons in 2016 hit “Down In The DM.”
“This man, like, pursued you, so you’re not telling me that he ended it, did he end the relationship?”
“No, it was my choice, you know, I just, I had to make a decision,” she replied before sharing that she isn’t comfortable revealing further details just yet. “Some stuff is better left unsaid.”
“Again, much love and respect to him, he’s doing his thing, I’m happy for him.” Check out the full interview above.

Days after rumors began to swirl regarding a split, Simmons took to her social media with hints that the pair had called it quits.
“I want what wants me in life. In all areas. What flows FLOWS. What goes GOES,” wrote the fitness enthusiast on her Instagram Stories back in May. Followers took this to mean the pair had gone their separate ways, aided by Simmons choosing Chris Brown and Usher collab “New Flame” to score the next slide.
Simmons and Gotti began dating in 2022, going public with their romance on New Year’s Day, 2023.
