Angela Simmons Confirms Yo Gotti Breakup: 'I Had To Make A Decision'
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.

Justin Bieber shares cryptic post about getting the ‘silent treatment' after wife Hailey ditches wedding ring
Justin Bieber shared a cryptic message about receiving the 'silent treatment' after Hailey Bieber stepped out without her wedding ring while in New York City. The 'Peaches' singer took to his Instagram Stories Sunday to repost a video of a content creator saying, 'Bitch, if you're giving me the silent treatment at least tell me why. 'I have anxiety and I have overthinking. Left and right, they go hand-in-hand. If you give me any room for error, there will be error.' Reps for Justin, 31, weren't immediately available to Page Six for comment. Hailey, meanwhile, was photographed sans her massive, pricey diamond ring multiple times while out in the Big Apple on Thursday. The Rhode founder, 28, first appeared without the ring while dining at The Commerce Inn in the West Village for breakfast. Later that day, she also ditched the statement piece while dining with fellow models Suki Waterhouse and Camila Morrone at Chez Fifi. Hailey and Justin, however, have dodged split rumors for years since they got married in 2018. Most recently, the couple sparked concern over their union when the businesswoman unfollowed the two-time Grammy winner via Instagram in March. At the time, the beauty mogul claimed that it was due to a glitch after Justin reactivated his account. Hailey addressed breakup rumors, and slammed 'bitches' who won't 'move on' in her May cover story for Vogue. 'Well, I thought seven years in it would've [died down] already, and it hasn't,' she told the outlet. Referring to her 10-month-old son Jack Blues, she added, 'You would think after having a child, people would maybe move on, chill out a little bit, but no. So I guess these bitches are going to be mad.' Despite shutting down speculation, an insider told Page Six that Hailey was worried about her famous husband's recent concerning behavior. 'Hailey is doing her best to be there for him, but there's only so much she can do,' a source said. 'Hailey loves Justin with all her heart, but that doesn't necessarily mean she's happy.'
