Omarion, the former lead singer of the iconic R&B boy band B2K, recently reflected on the group’s legacy and his current stance with ex-bandmates Raz-B, J Boog, and Lil’ Fizz. During an appearance on 105.1’s The Breakfast Club, the singer confirmed that while he will always honor the group’s impact, his personal connection with the members is nonexistent.
“I always will honor my group, my foundation, and where I come from,” Omarion shared. “As far as personally, we don’t have a relationship.”
However, he did note that there is still a level of mutual respect, recalling a recent interaction with J Boog. “Boog did come to one of my shows and we chopped it up, so there will always be a type of love there,” he added. “We grew up together, and we did something in all our lives that [no one else] did. So, I think there’s always an honor system there.”
B2K’s Tumultuous History and Past Controversies
B2K, originally formed in 1998 under the now-defunct TUG Entertainment, became a staple in early 2000s R&B. The group released three studio albums in 2002, with their final project, Pandemonium!, marking the end of their run.
Despite their success, the group was riddled with controversies, including internal disputes and personal conflicts. Among the most publicized issues was Lil’ Fizz’s brief relationship with Apryl Jones, the mother of Omarion’s two children, a move that stirred tension within the group. Additionally, Raz-B has made allegations of past abuse against their former manager, adding to the band’s turbulent history.
Omarion’s Millennium Tour Returns with a Revamped Lineup
While B2K reunited for the 2019 Millennium Tour, their attempt to extend the comeback between 2020 and 2021 collapsed. Instead, Omarion headlined the show alongside Bow Wow, featuring guest performances from Ashanti, Sammie, and Soulja Boy.
For 2024, the tour is set to return in March with Omarion, Bow Wow, and Trey Songz as co-headliners. Special appearances will include Plies, Boosie, and the Ying Yang Twins, promising an exciting experience for fans.
During The Breakfast Club interview, Omarion emphasized that this year’s tour would cater to a slightly different audience, describing it as a “non-millennial class” experience.
“It’s kind of, I would say, a little bit different than the previous years,” he explained.
While the possibility of another B2K reunion seems unlikely, Omarion remains committed to preserving the group’s legacy while forging his own path in the industry.
