EXCLUSIVE: The Real Reason Yo Gotti and Angela Simmons Broke Up — And Who He’s Spoiling Now
Earlier this year, Media Take Out was the first to report that hip hop’s it couple — Yo Gotti and Angela Simmons — had quietly called it quits. The news came as a shock to fans who had watched the pair blossom from a social media flirtation to red carpet royalty. And while Angela had remained tight-lipped for months, she finally confirmed the breakup during a recent sit-down interview with radio legend Angie Martinez.
Angela acknowledged the split, but kept it vague, refusing to go into detail about what caused the breakup. But don’t worry — we’ve done the digging.
According to multiple sources close to both Angela and Gotti, the couple’s breakup didn’t stem from scandal or betrayal — but from clashing lifestyles. Our insiders tell us that Yo Gotti, who’s known for keeping his personal life private, grew increasingly uncomfortable with Angela’s high-profile social media presence.
“Angela’s a beautiful woman and she’s got a big personality,” one source explained. “But she lives her life on Instagram. Anytime they were together, she was snapping pics, filming stories, tagging locations. Gotti just wasn’t with that.”
While Angela’s IG glam and fitness posts were a hit with her followers, Gotti reportedly felt like he was constantly being put on display. Sources say he expressed his concerns early on, but things never really changed — and that’s when distance started to grow.
Enter: a new woman.
Media Take Out has exclusively learned that Yo Gotti has moved on — and his new flame couldn’t be more different from Angela. Gotti is now dating a 35-year-old registered nurse from Memphis, who insiders describe as “gorgeous, successful, and low-key.” She’s reportedly earning a six-figure salary, living a quiet but comfortable life — and she has zero interest in being an Instagram influencer.
“She’s the complete opposite of Angela,” one of Gotti’s close friends told us. “She’s not trying to be famous. She’s not posting half-naked videos or chasing clout. She’s a grown woman with a real career — and that’s what Gotti respects.”
And the rapper is showing his appreciation in a big way. Sources say Yo Gotti recently gifted his new girlfriend a $300,000 luxury car, and the two have been spotted traveling together discreetly. Despite the new relationship, we’re told there’s no bad blood between Gotti and Angela. They still speak occasionally and are reportedly on good terms — but romantically, it’s over.
“He still has love for Angela,” the source added. “But that chapter is closed. He’s with someone now who makes him feel peace, not pressure.”
So while fans were left wondering what went wrong, the truth is simple: Yo Gotti wanted privacy. Angela wanted visibility. And sometimes, even when the chemistry is strong, the lifestyles just don’t align.
