A Dangerous Love Story

Simmons and Gotti’s relationship has been under scrutiny since day one, not just because of their celebrity status, but due to Gotti’s alleged ties to the deadly feud that claimed the life of Dolph in 2021. Since then, multiple individuals connected to the hit have been mysteriously killed—one by one—leaving Gotti as one of the last major figures still standing.

Rumors of a target on Gotti’s back have swirled for years, with Memphis streets whispering about an active bounty. Now, insiders claim Simmons was warned by close friends and security experts that staying linked to Gotti could put her in the crosshairs.

The Safe Exit Strategy

According to sources, Simmons meticulously planned her breakup to avoid any potential retaliation. Instead of a messy, public fallout, she chose the controlled environment of a podcast—far from Memphis and under the guidance of trusted media personalities.

“Angela knew she had to do this the right way,” an insider revealed. “She didn’t want any drama, any backlash, or worse. She made sure she was in a safe space when she made the announcement, surrounded by people who could protect her.”

Simmons’ decision to speak on Martinez’s platform—rather than in a sit-down interview with major outlets—suggests she wanted to control the narrative without escalating tensions.

Yo Gotti’s Alleged Reaction

So far, Gotti has remained silent on the breakup, but Memphis insiders say the rap boss is “aware of the optics.” Given the dangerous climate surrounding him, some speculate he may have expected this move. Still, others wonder if this split could further isolate him in a city where enemies may be waiting for the right moment to strike.
