In another video, Simmons was seated next to a friend, offering a close-up view of her impressive new ring. As previously reported by The Shade Room, Simmons and Gotti were first linked in 2020 when they were spotted together celebrating her 35th birthday. At that celebration, she was seen rapping along to Gotti’s track “Down In The DM,” where he expresses his admiration for her: “And I just followed Angela (Simmons). Boy, I got a crush on Angela (Simmons).”

The couple seemingly confirmed their relationship in 2022, sharing photos and videos from their travels abroad. By January 2023, Simmons expressed her happiness in a post, stating she was “happier” than ever. In September, Gotti celebrated Simmons’ 37th birthday with extravagant gifts, including a luxurious watch, an Hermés Birkin bag, and a getaway, further solidifying their bond.

Rumors about an engagement have intensified over the past year, with Simmons stating that Yo Gotti is “the one.” Although she hasn’t officially confirmed their engagement, the massive diamond ring has sparked speculation among fans. Many believe this may indicate that the couple is preparing to take the next step in their relationship. For now, it seems they are keeping their personal lives under wraps, which is a refreshing approach in today’s social media landscape.

The R&B singer shares a story about a night out with an unnamed celebrity at a popular L.A. nightclub in the “I Ain’t Sayin’ No Names” segment of an episode. Social media investigated and suspected that Brown was referring to Ye based on past press clips and timing in the story.

At 1:21:22, Brown told hosts Tank and J.Valentine about the night out, saying: “There was this artist, and [they] wanted to go out to the club with us … Huge artist. I’m like, ‘Alright, cool. Meet me at the crib, we gonna go to the club.’ It’s N***a Night, it’s turn-up night. [There’s] gonna be another artist in there performing, and that artist’s song was the number one song in the country.”

He continued: “We get in the club, I make sure we got the whole section full of women. The person there, [he’s] looking around. The song come on, the other artist is onstage, starts singing the song, the whole building erupt. I’m talking about erupts. Everybody. Girls in our section, they going crazy,” he continued. “I look over to this person…not a smirk, not a head nod. Nothing.”

Fans were convinced that the unidentified celebrity in the story was Kanye West based on the antics. 

“I look up, the n***a is on the DJ booth right next to the artist that’s doing the song, and he just like this,” Brown nodded blankly in agreement.

“When the song goes off, the n***a takes the mic. … So I’m thinking this artist is about to do some songs. I’m like, ‘OK, he got the itch.’ Some artists can’t take it, you know, they self centered though, they got main character syndrome.”

Brown thought the artist would perform, but things turned for the worse.

“The n***a goes on a 45-minute rant. I’m talking about talking, I’m talking about saying all of everything about nothing. It’s so disappointing. When I was in there I started looking around. The club [went from] being a ‘Yeah, everybody turning up, maybe we holler at some girls, what’s up’—it went from that to looking like the waiting room in hell.” 

The singer went to a smoking area downstairs while clubgoers inside the club turned into “psychopath people” and just wanted the music to come back on.

The unnamed artist had taken control of the club after Brown returned upstairs after 20-30 minutes, and most of the girls in his section had left.

“The last thing I hear, Such and such ain’t stick their finger in my booty. I don’t even play that way,’” said Brown. “I said, ‘Yeah, I’m out this motherfucker.’” 

Brown scolded their friend and asked him to get the artist together before leaving the club. He concluded the story with, “And I left the club. I ain’t answer no phone calls. I’m going home. I ain’t gonna say no name,” 

Fans are trying to connect the dots between Ye’s 2016 rant and Chris Brown’s recent comment, but Brown didn’t mention any names. Yo Gotti was on stage with West during the rant and had a No. 1 hit with “Down in the DM.”

Brown and Ye have collaborated on the mogul’s albums The Life of Pablo, Donda, and Vultures 1. Recently, fans shared a clip of Kanye West’s rant on social media.

Brown’s R&B Money interview discusses his favorite eras of his career, collaborating with the hosts, touring, and the future of his music. Feel free to watch the full episode below. 

The CMG founder, who will be celebrating his 42nd birthday this Friday (May 19), took to Instagram Story yesterday (May 17) to express that the “Maybach” rapper getting an early release would make the perfect gift. “I got $2 million for any lawyer that can get Dugg out early,” Yo Gotti wrote on his Instagram Story. “[That’s] what I want for my birthday #FreeDoggy.”

Yo Gotti’s proposal comes after 42 Dugg released a statement earlier this week sharing the alleged conditions he’s facing at an Atlanta jail. “I need the best civil lawyer in Georgia, man,” he said in the now-deleted Instagram post. “I’m in jail for going to the gun range dropping dirty and failure to appear. I didn’t steal from nobody, hurt nobody, they handling me crazy.”

He continued, “Man, I’m in this b**ch heating my food up with water from the nasty a** shower—they don’t even give us hot water to heat food up. Ain’t no microwave, I can’t get no visits from my family, nothing. I’m sure they gone do some more illegal s**t but [I’m] ‘pose to die in this b**ch for probation violation?”

the shooting, which happened a little after closing, stemmed from an altercation inside of the restaurant. According to Fox 13 Memphis, Memphis Police Department said two male victims were found on the scene suffering from gunshot wounds. One was pronounced dead at the scene, and the other was taken to a local hospital where he was later pronounced died.

Five others, four men and a woman, arrived at local hospitals with private vehicles. The men were ages 37, 35, 31 and 30, while the woman was 25 years old. A pickup truck that was on the scene appeared to have a large bullet hole in the driver’s side window.

“These senseless killings have to stop. Our guns laws in our country and state need to be reevaluated, we need common sense regulations limiting easy access to these weapons,” Memphis Mayor Jim Strickland said in a statement. “In addition, our court systems needs to have zero tolerance for gun and violent crimes.”

There may be a new couple of the block. We previously reported that Yo Gotti and Angela Simmons were spotted turning up in the club together a few months ago.

Yo Gotti infamously named dropped Angela Simmons in his 2015 hit single ‘Down In The DMs.’ He rapped, “And I just followed Angela (Simmons) / Boy, I got a crush on Angela (Simmons)/ They like, “Damn, Gotti, you bold” (bold)/ Fuck it, I’m gon’ let the world know (goals)..”

Although the relationship hasn’t been confirmed, the two were spotted in the same exact location at the same exact time. The two were seemingly vacationing in Dubai and Paris together.

“In 2016 Yo Gotti rapped “I just followed Angela… boy I got a crush on Angela… Simmons” today, 6 years later, he riding thru the desert of Dubai wt her I’m boutta go to the studio rn…” tweeted someone.
