The couple first debuted their relationship in public when they attended the Creative Arts Emmys in September where the rapper took home an award for his track ‘Letter To The Free’ from Ava Duverney’s ‘13th’ documentary.
By March, speculations arose that they were on the rocks when Angela was missing from Common’s arm at the Oscars where he performed his track, ‘Stand Up for Something.’
Their split came as a surprise after learning that Angela’s activism had become an inspiration to Common. He revealed this to Page Six in November saying,
“I feel like I have a lot more work to do ... I feel like I have to be more intelligent with the work and strategize more.”
Meanwhile, Angela endured death threats just to be with the 46-year-old. In November, TMZ revealed the NPR political analyst had been receiving threatening messages to her phone, one of which became very specific, telling her she’d “be found in a river.” The threats reportedly began when Angela started dating the award-winning singer, and there were even messages referencing locations the couple visited that were not made public. This prompted Angela to report it to the LAPD who obtained search warrants to dig through her harasser’s social media
