“Some Stuff Is Better Left Unsaid”: Angela Simmons Breaks Her Silence on Breakup With Yo Gotti

In an emotional yet composed revelation, reality TV star and entrepreneur Angela Simmons has finally addressed the swirling rumors surrounding her relationship status with rapper Yo Gotti. Appearing on the June 18, 2025 episode of the “Angie Martinez IRL” podcast, Angela confirmed what fans had long suspected—that her high-profile relationship with the Memphis-born rapper has come to an end. And in her own words, she made it clear: “I ended the relationship.”

With her signature poise and introspective grace, Angela shared few words but made them count. “Some stuff is just better left unsaid,” she told Martinez, choosing not to delve into the gritty details of the breakup. Despite the heartbreak that may lie behind the scenes, Simmons didn’t speak with bitterness. Rather, she was gracious in her sentiments about Yo Gotti, emphasizing that she still holds great respect for him and that their time together created “great, beautiful memories.”

For fans who have followed their journey from subtle flirtations on Instagram to becoming one of hip-hop’s most admired power couples, the news hit hard. Their relationship had become symbolic of a fairytale romance—Yo Gotti famously rapped about his crush on Angela Simmons as far back as 2015 in his hit track “Down in the DM”. When the two finally confirmed they were an item in early 2023, the internet went into a frenzy, celebrating what felt like the realization of a romantic prophecy.

Their social media feeds were filled with affectionate posts, coordinated fashion looks, vacation photos in exotic locations, and messages of mutual admiration. Angela, known for her appearances on “Growing Up Hip Hop”, often gushed about how proud she was of Gotti’s business empire, while he showered her with love both publicly and privately. It was a relationship that seemed grounded not just in attraction but in mutual respect, vision, and hustle.

But cracks had started to appear—silently, subtly. The couple, once very open about their romance, began appearing less frequently together online. Fans noticed fewer photos, fewer likes, and a conspicuous absence of birthday tributes or celebratory posts. Whispers of trouble behind the scenes gained traction, particularly after Angela was spotted attending events solo, and Yo Gotti was noticeably absent from her recent brand launch in Los Angeles.

Adding more fuel to the speculation were murmurs of Yo Gotti’s alleged closeness to his rising CMG artist, GloRilla. Though unconfirmed and unaddressed by either party, the whispers were loud enough to cause unease among fans who had once idolized the Simmons-Gotti union. While Angela has refused to comment on this particular rumor, her silence has only intensified public curiosity.

Insiders close to the couple suggest that the breakup was less about betrayal and more about lifestyle friction. With Yo Gotti’s business empire rapidly expanding—ranging from music to real estate to tech investments—the rapper has been traveling extensively and juggling an enormous workload. Angela, who is also a mother and CEO of her own fashion and wellness brands, reportedly struggled to find consistent quality time in their relationship. According to one source, “They were just on different timelines. Angela needed more presence, more balance, and it just wasn’t working anymore.”

Angela's decision to speak publicly now comes at a moment when she seems determined to reclaim her narrative. The timing of the interview, and her carefully measured tone, suggest that she is not only closing a romantic chapter but also stepping forward into a new phase of life—one rooted in self-preservation, strength, and growth.

“I don’t have regrets,” she said during the podcast, “I loved and I learned.” Those words reflect a woman who is not bitter but better for the experience. Fans of Angela know that she has weathered heartbreak before, most notably the tragic loss of her ex-fiancé Sutton Tennyson, the father of her son, who was fatally shot in 2018. From that devastating moment, Angela emerged stronger and more committed to her role as a mother, a businesswoman, and a role model.

This breakup, while painful, seems to be another stepping stone in her evolution. Angela Simmons has always embodied resilience, and this latest chapter is no different. Her decision to walk away from a relationship—especially one that seemed to be “goals” in the eyes of the public—shows that she values her peace over public perception.

As for Yo Gotti, he has yet to make any public comment on the breakup. He’s been spotted attending high-level business meetings and industry events, appearing unbothered, at least outwardly. Whether he plans to address the situation remains to be seen. But if there’s one thing clear from Angela’s candid interview, it’s that she’s not waiting around for anyone’s validation.

Her fans have taken to social media to support her with messages of love and admiration. Comments like “You deserve the world, Angela”, and “Sometimes letting go is a power move” have flooded her pages, reflecting the deep connection she maintains with her audience—many of whom see her as a symbol of strength, grace, and authenticity.

Breakups in the public eye are never easy. They come with judgment, speculation, and emotional tolls that are magnified by the spotlight. Yet, Angela Simmons continues to navigate these challenges with an enviable blend of dignity and emotional intelligence. She didn’t need to drag anyone or create drama for headlines. Instead, she chose peace, discretion, and healing.

And maybe that’s the most powerful takeaway of all: in a world obsessed with exposure, Angela chose silence where necessary, and voice where it mattered. In her own words, “Some stuff is just better left unsaid.” But in her quiet courage, she has said more than enough.
