Angela Simmons: Dating Drama, Mental Health & Why She Attracts 'Protectors' (Part 2)

Angela Simmons sits down with her brother Joseph "JoJo" Simmons for Part 2 of their conversation on the For Good Podcast, and this time they're getting into the real—relationships, dating, and navigating life in the public eye. Angela addresses why she's attracted to "protectors," explaining that she sees people past their reputation and judges them by their character, not street gossip. She opens up about the pressure of dating publicly since she was 17, from Bow Wow's music video to now, and why her love life became a "thing" that overshadows her other work. Angela gets honest about her recent situation with Yo Gotti and why she didn't immediately tell JoJo when things ended, plus how she handles being constantly dragged into drama she wants no parts of. The siblings also dive into: • Why Angela dates "protectors" and how she sees past people's reputations to their hearts • The viral picture collage that had the internet making assumptions about her dating history • Her breakup with Yo Gotti and why she went quiet during that time • That viral Nicki Minaj challenge in stilettos and why she brought heels to the gym • Angela's Angels and her Christmas toy drive - the philanthropic work people don't talk about • Her wellness world she's building and why everyone needs a one-stop shop for health • Mental health routine - 15-20 minutes of phone-free prayer and grounding every morning JoJo gives Angela her flowers, telling her she's "the definition of a strong Black single woman" and that if people really knew her, they'd watch their tongues. He acknowledges how she's figuring it out daily in an industry that's not easy to survive, always doing it with dignity and pride. 🔌 Subscribe to the For Good Podcast on Spotify, Apple, or wherever you get your podcasts.
