One email, sent on 5 August, read, “Yr (your) dumb dead a– gonna be found in a river”, while another read, “Let me catch ya a– I’m put the paws on ya (you).”

Angela’s current boyfriend is rapper Common.

The LAPD’s Threat Management division is now said to be on the case, after obtaining a warrant to investigate the sender’s social media.

Common was first linked to Rye earlier this year, and opened up about the relationship during an interview on SiriusXM in October, gushing: “There’s a definite connection with Angela Rye. She’s a wonderful woman, I’m dating, I’m happy right now, and she’s an incredible human being.”
