She was once rumored to be dating rapper Plies after they were said to be at events together, including Yee’s birthday where Plies was the host. Hinting at a possible relationship between the two, gossip site Mediatakeout analyzed their activity writing; “How can we be so sure?? Well, his show in Charlotte she was there … Dream Night Club Miami her bday weekend he was Host – and they were there together! He officially refers to Angela as his sister – but it’s more than obvious!!!”

But neither Angela nor Plies confirmed the relationship rumors.

On the other hand, during Gucci Mane’s visit to the Breakfast club in 2016, the rapper hinted that Angela had flirted with him in the past. When the other hosts of the radio show asked Gucci if he ever slept with Angela, he said: “she done tried. She was on my d**k back then.” Yee outrightly denied saying that no such incident ever occurred, but Gucci kept pushing, claiming that Yee used to be texting him and asking what hotel he was at and other stuff like that. However, Yee replied saying that Gucci must have got her confused with someone else, that it definitely was not her as she wouldn’t do such a thing.

Charlamagne with his response wasn’t backing his co-host as he told Yee; “I ain’t never known Gucci to be a liar.” Summarily, as of this writing, Angela Yee is an unmarried woman, and it isn’t clear whether or not she is in a relationship.
