Angela Simmons is stepping into her truth with grace and vulnerability.
In a powerful sit-down with Angie Martinez for her IRL podcast, Angela opens up for the first time about her breakup with rapper Yo Gotti—a relationship that had fans rooting for their fairytale ending after years of flirtation and a very public debut. But when it came to the split, Angela kept it private… until now.
“Yeah, not my choice, but you know, I respect him,” she says calmly. “It was my choice, you know… I just had to make a decision.”
While she doesn’t spill every detail, Angela makes it clear this chapter was about protecting her peace and choosing herself. She gets real about heartbreak, the role therapy played in her healing, and the importance of maintaining dignity—even when love ends in the spotlight.
Angela also gets candid about solo motherhood, raising her son after the tragic passing of his father, and how that’s shaped her views on love, strength, and resilience.
Of course, no Angela Simmons interview would be complete without reflecting on life as hip-hop royalty. She revisits her Run’s House days and how growing up under the Simmons legacy shaped her personally and professionally. These days, Angela is focused on building her businesses, diving into music, and continuing to evolve in a space she was born into—but is now claiming entirely on her own terms.
