Morning Routines and Personal Growth

The conversation kicks off with a discussion about Omarion's morning routine and his philosophy on personal growth. When asked about his morning rituals, Omarion shares:

“Help. Little moment to myself, you know what I'm saying? Shower up, get fresh, say my affirmations...” ([02:19])

Omarion emphasizes the importance of intention in his daily life:

“To just have a good time, you know what I'm saying? Not put too much on it...” ([02:29])

His tranquil demeanor earns him the nickname "Zen King" from co-host Angela Yee, to which Omarion responds by highlighting his intentionality and ability to not take things personally:

“I'm intentional. Yeah, I'm intentional. And also, I don't take things personal.” ([02:59])

Embracing Maturity at 40

DJ Envy points out Omarion's youthful appearance, noting that Omarion appears significantly younger than his 40 years. Omarion reflects on turning 40, describing it as entering a "new dimension" with greater maturity and responsibility:

“For me, it felt like I really entered a new dimension. When I turned for it.” ([04:35])

He shares how celebrating his birthday in Malibu with friends and family marked a significant milestone, signaling his arrival in the industry as a matured artist.

Millennium Tour Insights

Omarion provides exciting details about his Millennium Tour, highlighting its collaborative nature with co-headliners Trey and Bow. The tour is designed to evoke nostalgia while introducing new music, celebrating his 20th anniversary as a solo artist. He explains the dynamic of the tour:

“It's meant to be like a festival vibe. Any real performer, artist will tell you sometimes it's not best to close the show...” ([05:56])

Omarion expresses his enthusiasm for creating memorable experiences for fans, blending classics with his new releases.

Transition into Acting: "Wild Rose"

Expanding his creative repertoire, Omarion discusses his role in the upcoming series "Wild Rose" on All Black. Portraying an assassin with complex psychological layers, he shares his process of embodying the character:

Omarion emphasizes the importance of maintaining personal boundaries and using techniques to separate himself from his character, ensuring his mental well-being remains intact.

Evolution of R&B Music

The conversation shifts to the state of R&B music today. Omarion observes that while solo artists dominate, group dynamics in R&B have dwindled. He remains optimistic about a resurgence of group acts, attributing the decline to a lack of artist development and the high expectations placed on groups:

“I think that artist development is missing from the game. That's what's missing.” ([20:40])

Omarion expresses hope for new groups to emerge with strong foundations and genuine brotherhood.

Navigating Relationships and Love Life

Omarion opens up about his love life, balancing fatherhood with his pursuit of personal connections. He shares his approach to dating, emphasizing mindfulness and deep conversations over superficial encounters:

“The love level is just astronomical when you have kids...” ([29:45])

Reflections on B2K and Group Dynamics

Addressing his past with the iconic group B2K, Omarion reminisces about the camaraderie and challenges of being in a group. While maintaining respect for his former bandmates, he acknowledges the natural drift that occurs over time:

“We grew up together and yeah, you know, we did something in all of our lives that no one in our lives did...” ([36:26])

Omarion speaks fondly of the early days, highlighting the organic connection with fans and the intense experiences that shaped his career.

Personal Anecdotes and Childhood Memories

Omarion shares vivid memories from his childhood, including the chaos of early fame and the relentless adoration from fans. He recounts unsettling experiences, such as unauthorized access to his green room:

“One of the workers just let themselves in. And I was, like, half asleep, and I woke up like, what are you doing?” ([40:03])

These stories underscore the challenges of growing up in the public eye and the resilience needed to navigate early fame.

Career Advice and Future Endeavors

Reflecting on his extensive career, Omarion offers advice to younger artists, stressing the importance of financial literacy and strategic planning:

“I wish I would have been given that game earlier on.” ([46:56])

He also hints at future collaborations and projects, expressing excitement for both his music and acting ventures. Omarion remains committed to evolving artistically, ensuring his work remains relevant and impactful.

[DJ Envy]

The wild thing is, you know, Omaran, I just looked it up. Omaran is 40 years old.

[Omarion]

Crazy.

[DJ Envy]

We've been seeing him grow up.

[Omarion]

I.

[DJ Envy]

He still.

[Omarion]

I don't know, like Omari on 40. I. You still got baby heads. A blessing.

It is.

[DJ Envy]

So people still look at you as a. Like a young. I can't say teen, but a young 20 year old. Cause that's what you look like.

[Omarion]

Yeah, well, I mean, it does confuse people sometimes, but yeah, I think I made it to unk status at this point in time.

[DJ Envy]

You ain't unk yet, not with Baby Head.

[Omarion]

So why is unknown.

You can't be unc with Baby Head like Mario.

Nah.

No, no.

[Angela Yee]

[Omarion]

Yes, yes, yes, yes. I'm super excited about it. We play the barclays on the 21st, so if you ain't got your ticket, definitely pop out. It's a moment. It's a moment.

[Angela Yee]

What keeps you doing all this? After all, he is like, what keeps you doing this?

[DJ Envy]

He's still doing flips and dancing.

[Omarion]

What?

[DJ Envy]

You twist your ankle, it gonna take a long time to heal.

[Omarion]

No, actually, I have a routine of making sure that I stay energized. I'm a performer, so it's important that I take care of my body. But the Millennium tour, you know, is a series concert that has brought nostalgic literally back on the planet. You know, my era and my time. I'm so happy to been a part of it because, you know, it brings you back to a memory and creates a new memory at the same time, you know, so I'm excited. Yeah, we. We keeping it going. We keeping that energy going.

Can I ask you what 40 felt like? I remember how I felt when I turned 40.

Yeah.

Where were you? What were you doing? How did it feel? Because to me, it felt like I really entered a new dimension. When I turned for it.

Yeah. So I usually don't do anything for myself and shout out to Janine, who helped me put together my birthday party. But I had a birthday party in Malibu, and it was such an amazing gathering. You know, all of my friends came out, my family. So I did something for myself, you know, which was throw a party. Was a lot of beautiful people in the building. So that's what I did for my birthday.

Did you feel like yourself going into a different level of consciousness?

For sure. A different level of maturity, a certain level expectation for myself. The things that I'm creating now, you know, why am I still doing it? I definitely feel like I've arrived because, you know, I'm one of the few entertainers that has grown up in the public eye. So growing up has, you know, been a challenge at some times in my career. You know what I mean? So I finally feel like I've arrived to that place where I can have a say. So and people understand it and respect it.

[DJ Envy]

Now, how do y'all figure out who closes the Millennium Tour? Like, who closes that show? You got so many artists on there, and you're one of the originators on that tour. So who closes the Millennium Tour?

[Omarion]

Well, it is a co headline, you know, myself, Trey and Bao. So it's kind of meant to be like a festival vibe. You know, any real performer, artist will tell you sometimes it's not best to close the show because, you know, the energy is drained. You know, you kind of want to go maybe second, you know, the last. So for me, yeah, I don't really trip off of that, but, yeah, that's how we decide between us and the promoters.

[DJ Envy]

How do you headline? So is it like you do two, then you jump and do two, Trey jumps in and do two.

[Omarion]

Exactly. Yeah. Maybe Trey will close, and then me and Bow will swap in between. Seen, you know, him going last before Trey or maybe going last before Trey.

[Angela Yee]

Okay, so, yeah, so I know before, you know, the Millennium tour, it was B2K. Why not B2K this run?

[Omarion]

Well, this one was kind of more so framed for this class. You know, all the. If you look at the, you know, who's on there now, it's a lot of non millennium, you know, artists, you know what I'm saying? Like, I think it's so cool that Booy is going to be on there, you know, I mean, he applies. I think we're going to get some special guests as well.

[Angela Yee]

Yeah, pleasure.

[Omarion]

Exactly. The whole vibe. So it. It's kind of. I would Say, a little bit different than, you know, like the previous years. So, yeah, that's. That's how. That's.

[Angela Yee]

So are we getting all the o. Like the.

[Omarion]

Yeah, we getting the classics. No, Skip, we get in the classics.

[Angela Yee]

So we getting that.

[Omarion]

Yeah, we're getting the classic. It's actually my 20th year anniversary of putting in being a solo artist. Yeah, time is flying. Yeah. So, yeah, we get into classics. And also I'll be introducing some new music. You know, I mean, I got some new music, some new slaps. I'm gonna be performing as well.

So you said something that was interesting. You said growing up for you was a challenge. Why was growing up a challenge? Did you mean personally or professionally?

Both. Oh, just because, you know, when you're. And people see you young and you don't change much, you know, I mean, like, physically, you know, because I. I take care of myself, you know, people tend to just, you know, put you where they thought that you were. You know what I'm saying? So, yeah, it's been a challenge in that way. And then also in business, you know, just really being able to, like, have a say. So. And then I just be like, okay, well, you're a kid. You know what I mean? Any child stars will tell you, you know, having a foot in control in their business is a struggle when you start young.

When did that change? Like, when did people start saying, okay, this is Omarion, the grown man, not the kid from B2K?

I think once I really started taking full responsibility for my independence, you know, trying different things, I think that, you know, when you're in the industry for a long time, it is peaks and valleys, you know, you're not going to have 10 hot moments. You know what I'm saying? You might have a down moment, you might have a transitional moment. I think that it's okay, you know, when you're finding your way. And I feel like after my last, like, couple of projects, you know, just supporting myself, being independent, like, I started to feel like, okay, now I have control of my career. Oh, I want to put this out. Okay, maybe I should put it out this way. You know, maybe I should do things differently. You know, I grew. I grew into that. So I'm, like, very proud of that, you know, because a lot of artists don't get the chance to do that.

That's true. And nobody talks about that, right? Like, nobody talks about when you're red hot and there's an ice box where your career used to be. You know what I mean? Like, I mean, I don't feel like you've ever been through that because you always on the road.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I've been gifted, you know, with the talent to be able to do many things. Like, two years ago, I believe the last time we spoke, you know, I was promoting my book, so there's always something for me to do. Something new that I just did that's really exciting is a show called the Wild Rose with all black. So I'm gonna be, you know, hitting your TVs in 2026. I play an assassin, so it's something different. Oh, first of all, yeah, I'm doing fighting scenes. I'm socking and popping.

[Angela Yee]

Wow.

[Omarion]

So you will be seeing me in a whole sin.

[Angela Yee]

King is now an assassin.

[Omarion]

I'm acting. Exactly right. But, you know, the real true measure of an actor is to tell the truth. You know what I'm saying? So get to show a different side of myself. I'm excited about that.

I feel like that's a natural transition for all you flexible guys. Seriously, like, you, Chris Brown.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Chris Brown.

[Omarion]

Like, y'all should be doing action movies.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Whooping ass.

Yeah.

That's a part.

[DJ Envy]

And I got a different respect for you now.

[Omarion]

Right.

[DJ Envy]

And I'll tell you why. So my daughter's dance, right? And the amount of, I would say, pressure they have when they dance, but also the amount of time it takes to practice.

[Omarion]

Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

Like, I. I never thought about it. And then when they go to these competitions and they dance and everything they did, they do ballet, hip hop, jazz, whatever it takes. And I'm like, jesus Christ. The fact that Omarion has to do that and sing and not worry about. And not lose breath and remember the steps.

[Omarion]

Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

Growing up, how often did you dance?

[Omarion]

Like, how. Every day. Every day? Every day. That was, like, a big part of, you know, my existence in my career. Dancing is second nature. And the singing part, too, you know, the breath, you know, really, you know, being able to know, like, okay, this is a live performance. Maybe I shouldn't do the routine right here. I definitely have grown in that space.

Even.

[DJ Envy]

Even boys. I don't see too many boys, young boys or men dancing.

[Omarion]

Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

Like, you see for every 1,000 girls, you see two. Two boys.

[Omarion]

Yeah, yeah.

[DJ Envy]

Because I guess it's a thing. No boy wants to dance, but it's.

[Omarion]

Crazy because it's a whole language, you know, Especially when it comes to women. You know, when you learn how to lead women in dance, you know how to lead them in real life.

[DJ Envy]

So you have your children in dance, do you always dance? Oh, they dance.

[Omarion]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah. My daughter's in gymnastics. My son, he more so like, he's too. A little too cool for it. I was the same way early on. But yeah, he still can dance.

So that's how you be seducing women. You be like, let me show you some moves. Yeah, you know, that's what you do.

No, I start at the mind first. I start with the mind trying first and then. And then, you know, then I get into dance moves.

When did. When did you first start learning to dance?

It's. I had my first dance recital at either three or five.

Wow.

Yeah. Yeah, so. And it was tap dance. So I've been dancing my whole life.

So they always. They always knew that you was going to be an entertainer?

Yeah.

Wow.

Yeah, very much so.

[DJ Envy]

With the dance world so big, you never thought about doing something in dance? Like, you know, how they have America's Got Talent, all these different challenges and all these different shows. You never thought about creating your own because you're one of hip hop's dances.

[Omarion]

Yeah, no, I definitely.

[DJ Envy]

Especially see an old girl at the Olympics and what people thought hip hop break dancing was.

[Omarion]

Right, right, right. Damn. I was. I was mad at that. Yeah, I was mad at that. But yeah, I definitely. I want to open up some dance studios. I believe I've been talking about it for years, but just, you know, really waiting for the opportunity to create a creative space for kids. Because that's how I grew up. You know, I went to the Boys and Girls club. It was always stuff to do, you know, so I definitely gonna do either a TV show or open up a facility. For sure. For sure.

[Angela Yee]

Now going back to Wild Rose.

[Omarion]

Right.

[Angela Yee]

Cause you also executive produce. Like you. Yeah, producing that too. What was the. The process of, like, getting into that role? Because it's. I mean, because playing an assassin, that just don't come natural to you. Or have you killed niggas before? You know, I don't know. You know, what was that process like?

[Omarion]

So that process was different. You know, I definitely had an assistance with my acting coach. And, you know, I really started diving into who is this person? Who is Rose? You know, he has 27 bodies, so he does have a lot of psychological and emotional issues and how it pertained to, you know, this particular scene or, you know, at one point in time, we reveal that my family is not no longer with me. That's something that brings him anxiety. He's actually a righteous kill. Sometimes, you know, he gets in trouble with his agency, which is called Civil, by the way. Vanessa E. Williams plays my mom. And I also want to talk about my boy. Yeah, Alan Payne. My boy. Alan Payne plays my father, you know, in it. So I'm surrounded by great, incredible actors, but, yeah, I did my due diligence, and also I really wanted to bring the character to life because he struggles with, I think, a lot of things that a lot of men go through, and that is. Is wanting to have a foundational relationship with. With their family. You know, I mean, it's obviously tumultuous because I'm an assassin, but I show that journey. I end up bodyguarding for this very famous singer named Samaya. Shout out to Casey Gardner, a new actress that's going to be on the scene, and shout out to Daisy Leray. But it's going to be something to watch, so look for that. All Black 2026.

That's got to be tough, though, when you are a person who practices mindfulness the way you do.

Yeah.

To get into a person who's dealing with so much. So much trauma.

It is.

How did you. How did you get out of. Get. Get out of character?

I made certain ticks, you know, for the character, and I also, you know, lend myself to it. So it was never in. In a negative way. You know, there are certain scenes where, you know, I. Without giving away too much of the story, there are certain scenes where I had to, like, really dig deep beyond myself and do the research. Like, you know, how would I feel if I killed someone? You know, what would I feel? You know, and because I've, you know, stitched out the character so well, I'm able to kind of say, okay, this is the difference between me and him. You know, now I can take him off and I can be myself. So a little stuff like that, my wardrobe, the way I looked, I look differently.

So do you have boundaries for as far as. For as far as how far you'll go as an actor? Like, how far you. How deep you'll go?

I haven't found any yet. I haven't found any yet. I think the only maybe challenge would be like cutting my hair. Yeah. Because, you know, my hair is sacred to me. Is something that is spiritual for me, too. My spiritual antennas. So that's like. I went out for a bunch of different roles, actually. I went out for a Sammy Davis Jr. Role.

Oh, you had to cut your head for that.

That was a conversation. That was a conversation. That was a tough one. Just because I feel like, to a degree, you know, you don't want to lose yourself in certain characters. You know, you playing a charact for three months, it really does become who you are. So I'm very mindful that that's probably my only challenge. But there's wigs. There's wigs. You know, I don't think you can.

[DJ Envy]

Put all that under a wig.

[Angela Yee]

That's a lot.

[Omarion]

Now, you can. You could wrap this thing up well.

[Angela Yee]

Yeah.

[Omarion]

You feel me? Pat it down. There's some real professionals in this game. Trust me.

Yo, that's interesting, man. Cause I wonder what's more important nowadays. Your personal or your professional? Because it's only. Like you said, it's only three months. Yeah, but then I got to live the rest of my life, and I'm the one that got to deal with this.

Exactly.

Is it worth it?

I don't know. You know, I think for some people, it depends on the check, you know? And for a person like me, I think it depends on the story. It depends on where I am and if I really do feel like it is my duty as an actor to tell this story. So I think it's some factors, you know what I mean? But I'm very, like, connected with myself spiritually, and my hair is a. Is an identity, you know, for. For myself.

So what's the spiritual connection with your hair?

Just your antennas. You know, I think when you see people that grow hair, you know that it takes time. Anytime you see any elders that have long hair, you know, you respect them automatically because, you know, it's a process. And also, I come from a hair family, so, you know, having healthy hair has always been just, you know, mandatory.

So you look down on bald people?

Nah.

[Angela Yee]

Because I am phallically challenged.

[Omarion]

So wait a minute.

[Angela Yee]

Don't do none of this.

[DJ Envy]

Wow.

[Omarion]

No, no, no. You know why?

Bald people?

Yeah.

Okay.

There is no. Actually, it's certain bald people you just don't want to mess with. You know what I'm saying? So disrespect. Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

Now I want to get into R B music. What's your thoughts on R B music now?

[Omarion]

Right.

[DJ Envy]

Growing up, there was always R B groups, right. Whether it was white or black, Whether it's New Edition or Pretty Ricky or B2K or whoever it may be. Boyz II Men. You don't see that now?

[Omarion]

Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

Why is that, and why do you think that is? And what's your thoughts on R B music today?

[Omarion]

I think that R B music is an ever evolving, changing, you know, just like all genres of music, you know, country coming Back. I feel like it goes through a type of evolution. I think R and B is. Is definitely rearing its head back in the sentimental and expressive way that we talk about our emotions. You know, that's why I loved R B. I loved R B because, you know, there was this sentiment that, you know, if it was your icebox, you know, representing your heart, these metaphors that kind of allow men to express themselves. So I feel like it's in a dope state. Like, one of my favorite songs out right now is Mutt by Leon. Yeah. So it's like when people like him and, you know, some other new artists that, you know, have really put the time in to express their emotion. I feel like it's. It's going back.

[DJ Envy]

I was talking specifically groups.

[Omarion]

Oh, okay. Groups.

[DJ Envy]

You don't see that anymore. Do you think people don't want to put the time and energy and effort into it anymore? They want a quick turnaround?

[Omarion]

No, I think. I think. I think is that that's a factor. And I also feel like. I don't know if there's. I haven't seen a lot of people band together outside of, like, hip hop and gangs. You know what I'm saying? Like, it's not. I'm pretty sure there's some out there, but not at the forefront yet. And I feel like that time, you know, maybe within a year or two, we'll probably see some. Some really dope groups. But it's just like, I think everybody also, too, have the expectation that at some point in time, they'll break up, you know, So I think that there is a brotherhood, a type of brotherhood you have to kind of display.

[Angela Yee]

And that does take a lot of time.

[Omarion]

Right?

[Angela Yee]

I mean, like, even, like. Because what you can do solo, it would take, what, 10 times longer to do it with a group, because that's like one band, one sound. Y'all have to get on one accord.

[Omarion]

Exactly.

[Angela Yee]

All be aligned. Harmonization, you know, all of that. So that did. It took a lot of time.

[Omarion]

It did.

[Angela Yee]

With making music with B2K, as opposed to doing it yourself.

[Omarion]

Yeah, yeah.

Can you. Can you have a great group or maybe even a great R and B singer without artist development? I feel like that's what's missing from the game.

That is missing from the game. Yeah. And I would say that is the reason why, you know, for us, you know, when I was in the group that we had the run that we had because we spent so much time together, we had one common goal, you know, we were focused on one Thing. And it's so hard, you know, after success to kind of keep that path. So it is a little bit more difficult unless it's like, family, but even family, you know, family fight, too. You know what I mean? So, yeah, I think it is, you know, about developing something, and I would love to do that in the future, you know, if I ever had an opportunity to, you know, bring a group to the forefront, you know, I mean, I feel like that's what's missing too. It's just like having elders, having people that have gone through certain experiences. It's like, you know, some of the Y ends, you know, they don't have big homies, you know, they don't have people that could be like, I'm going through this, you know, what do you think? I can't wait for the game to get back to that place.

[DJ Envy]

And also, you know, Jagged Edge was here. Yeah, they were talking about people don't sing to the vagina anymore. Yeah, like, they don't ass.

[Omarion]

They don't beg.

[DJ Envy]

Why you looking at me like that?

[Omarion]

Cause you talking this guy crazy, yo. That's what you mean?

[DJ Envy]

They don't ask, they don't beg anymore?

[Omarion]

Yeah, the vagina has changed.

Gotta make sure they're not genetically modified.

Yeah, the vagina has changed.

[DJ Envy]

What do you mean it's changed?

[Omarion]

Yeah, I feel like, you know. You know, there's this thing called soft girl era, you know what I mean? And I don't know, it's just. I feel like it's so materialistic, you know what I mean? Like, in order to really, you know, swoon a woman, you have to really find a particular type, and you have to appeal to her, you know, differently than you maybe had to appeal to her, generally speaking, back in the day, you know, I mean, so I would say it's. It's different. You know, how you can wake up those senses, it depends on the woman, you know? I mean, because some women will not be turned on by a nice guy, you know? I mean, some women get turned on by. And people who are disrespectful and call them out their names. Some women are really just into that, you know? I mean, some women, you know, vagina only get wet with money, you know what I mean? So, yeah, I think. I think it's a little bit different. And you have to be more specific if you really want to entice a woman, you know what I mean?

Lyrically, doesn't that require us to vibrate Heido? And what I mean by that is if a Woman is only used to eating fast food, but yeah, you know, she out the country and she eat a real fruit and you like, damn.

I didn't know mango in Jamaica, you.

Know what I'm saying?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

So don't that require us to vibrate higher?

I agree. Yeah, I agree. That's, that's the tip I'm on, you know, I mean, outside of being mature and having my experiences, you know, really just being able to have a good conversation, you know, an in depth conversation. Somebody asked me the other day, like, what are some of the questions that I asked on, you know, a first gathering? I don't call them dates, you know.

[DJ Envy]

Gathering?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, gathering.

[Omarion]

Yeah, gathering.

Why they call it a first gathering?

Because I think a date carries a certain level of expectation, you know, whether that be a place or whether that be a price budget, you know, I mean, I think the world is constantly changing.

[DJ Envy]

[DJ Envy]

Have you seen this new commercial from Stand up to All Hate? It's Snoop Dogg and Tom Brady spewing hate at each other. But when you really listen to them, the reasons are just so stupid. This one really stopped me. It's a strong reminder that hate in our country continues to be out of control. So join us at the Breakfast Club in standing up to it. If you see hate, speak up, call it out and learn more by following at. What's up with Hate?

[Omarion]

The gathering kind of keeps it on a. On a very, just non assuming, low level expectation. And really when you get to know somebody, you don't need much, you know, you just need conversation and great questions, you know I'm saying? And nice ambiance. So yeah, for my first gatherings, you know, I asked very serious questions, you know, like, you know, what is your purpose in life? You know what I mean?

What is your intention with this dick? I'm sorry.

You just going to jump.

[Angela Yee]

Straight out.

[Omarion]

What you gonna do to it, baby?

[DJ Envy]

That's not a gather.

[Omarion]

That's a great question. Do you know what you're doing, baby? Do you have another experience? But yeah, questions like that.

But I think you set the tone because they see you. Oh, so they see you on Instagram, they see how you've grown and evolved, they see what you on. So they feel like they got to be there too, I would think.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean I definitely have my own personal challenges as well, because, again, you know, we are a. A vibration of. Of people. You know what I mean? So sometimes things can look good on the outside, but then once you really get into it, you like, oh, there's some things you have to fix that I can't help you with, you know what I mean? So I always give myself room. I say that my, my timeline is like two years. I give myself two years with the person to really figure out if I'm, you know, gonna continue with them. You know what I mean? I gotta see their family, I gotta see their best friends, and we actually have to go through something to see if you can be in my life.

Have you ever been turned off by a woman's trauma because you can't be a person's healer?

Yeah, yeah, for sure. For sure. I think particularly women that drink that over drink, you know what I mean? It's really hard because they mask it with the drink, you know, in a good time, you're never able to really see, you know what I mean? Like.

[Angela Yee]

Yeah.

[Omarion]

So fasting is, is a part of, you know, being with me too.

Has that ever been too much for a woman? Has a woman ever said, look, man, I like you, but I'm not with all of this mindfulness stuff that you are.

No, no, no. I don't really run into that issue. And I don't frame it in the way. I don't frame it in a way. It's just more so like, yo, let's be healthy. Like, oh, I'm about to go on a fast. You want to join? You know, I mean, it's no pressure.

[Angela Yee]

So what does the love look. Love life look like for old today?

[Omarion]

I mean, to be fair, you know, I have two beautiful and amazing kids. And you know, any parent will tell you once you have kids, there's. The love level is just astronomical when you have kids, you know, because they love you, they don't care what you did yesterday and today, you know, so I'm. I'm just chilling right now, you know, I mean, I'm first generational wealth builder, so I'm still focusing on continuing my legacy and building for them. You know, I have. I have a friend or two, you know what I mean? But. But, you know, it's nothing, it's nothing serious.

[Angela Yee]

Okay, cool.

[DJ Envy]

Now we've seen your love life play out on TV a little bit.

[Omarion]

Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

Would you ever do that again? Have your love, but never, no, not again.

[Omarion]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Angela Yee]

Nah, I think hurt you will help you.

[Omarion]

I Think a little bit of both. Yeah. I think in order to really transform as a man, you know, it had to be a little painful, you know, in order for you to change and be like, oh, I don't want to go through that again. But yeah, I love, love. And I'm definitely not a person that's like so hurt that I can't open myself up to it.

[Angela Yee]

So is everything better with you and the mother of your children?

[Omarion]

Yeah, yeah, we're in a better place. We're in a way better place. I mean, you know, mega's 10. My daughter, she'll be nine March 7th. So, you know, they're, they're getting older. So, yeah, you know, time and time really help. Helps things. So, yeah, we're in a better place.

Have you ever. How do you avoid trauma bonds?

I ask questions, you know, I ask questions and I think that that is what, you know, gives me the foresight to know, like, okay, this person is on that level, you know, I mean, to make sure that I'm not. And also I check in with myself, you know, I mean, and I make sure that, you know, I'm dealing with whatever personal issues. I handle it. So that's how, that's how I now.

[Angela Yee]

You know, I gotta ask you this. I've seen a tick tock go viral where I said. Well, I was about to say, be Simone. Raven Simone has said she was pregnant by you a long time ago. Like in the younger days when the hell that happened.

[Omarion]

So this is, you know, the Internet is a wild place. So if you look at the regular, the normal interview, the regular interview that they did, someone edited it and they, and they had her saying that. Because what happened was she was saying on set that, you know, they have this certain level of expectation and people thought that she was pregnant with my child.

[Angela Yee]

She was with K. Young. Okay, so they cut it.

[Omarion]

Yes. Yeah. So she didn't actually say that.

[Angela Yee]

Okay.

[Omarion]

Yeah, she didn't say we were you ever messing around?

[Angela Yee]

That was all speculation and everything.

[Omarion]

I, I never been in a room butt naked with her. You know what I mean? Right? Oh, yeah. But we did live in the same apartment complex when we were younger. There was this complex back in the day. All of the entertainer kids stayed there. So.

[Angela Yee]

Yeah.

[Omarion]

Yeah.

Really? Yeah, it was like a complex with all, like.

Yeah, I mean, everybody that was making money.

Really?

Yeah, everybody lived there. Three LW lived there. Raven Simone, a bunch of actors. Yeah, just a whole bunch of people who's in Studio City.

I feel like a TV show.

Yeah.

[Angela Yee]

I was Ready to see.

[Omarion]

That's what's up before the TV show. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it was pretty good fun. Going to the gym and seeing whoever. Yeah. Okay. You working out today at what time.

[DJ Envy]

You was applying a little bit of pressure on Nia Long?

[Omarion]

You can't blame me for that, my brother.

Yeah, yeah, can't blame you.

I saw her this weekend. I didn't see her present, but I saw her on Instagram at Floyd Mayweather party. Oh, my God.

Oh, she's beautiful. I would love to work with her. I would.

I'd love to teach you how to dance.

I would love to work with her.

Have you ever really shot your shot?

No, actually, after that moment, we were at, like, a party and she was occupied, so. Yeah, no, I didn't get the chance to look at her. In her eye, we're both Scorpio, so I'm not sure what the energy would be like.

[Angela Yee]

But, yeah, once y'all catch that eye contact.

[Omarion]

Yeah, no, she's. She's a beautiful woman. And then, you know, also, I don't know. I don't know how young her son is, but. Yeah, I don't know how. I don't know how young she goes. I don't know how exciting she wants her life to be.

[Angela Yee]

That's Neil Long, you know, she's still.

[DJ Envy]

Shooting that shot here. I don't know how exciting she wants her life to be right now.

[Omarion]

Like, 55, maybe 51.

[DJ Envy]

I don't think she does.

[Omarion]

Yeah.

I don't know. Neil Long is.

[DJ Envy]

I gotta go look it up.

[Omarion]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[DJ Envy]

I gotta look it up.

[Omarion]

But, yeah, you know, I'm not afraid to learn.

[Angela Yee]

So what is your.

[Omarion]

I'm not afraid.

He got some 54, but. Yeah, 54. That's not even old.

[Angela Yee]

That ain't too old for you, 54? Nah, not when it's near long.

[Omarion]

Not when it's near long.

[Angela Yee]

Cause I know some other 54s.

[Omarion]

Yeah.

That you be like, jesus, Yeah. I said my age cut off would be like 47. You know what I mean? But a young 50. A young 55. Yeah, I would definitely, you know what I mean? Have a gathering or two.

They all killing the young girls, by the way.

Facts.

Neil Long, the Sinai Layton, Angela Bassett of the world. They killing the young girls.

That's facts. That's facts. I would love to, you know, get in. Get into their mental state, you know, I mean, because they are women that kind of stay away and they only pop out when it's time to. So I would love to, like, have A conversation and see where their mind are.

But, you know, they only accept an honesty. They're older, they don't got time for them.

And that's what I love. I lead with that, you know, I mean that, you know, being a young man and leading with honesty is like a double edged sword because, you know, some. Some younger people are just not prepared for that. You know what I mean? But older women, they don't care. They don't care about that.

So that's why you like that Leon Thomas record, Because he's being so honest.

He is.

Have you ever had. You ever had to say that to somebody? Just let them know, straight up, like, look, I'm not trying to settle down.

I wouldn't frame it like that, like I'm a dog, I'm a mutt. But yeah, yeah, I definitely. Anytime I'm, you know, involved with a woman, I let them know, you know, I'm not a traditional man. I'm not someone who subscribes to specific titles, you know what I'm saying? I like to create what, you know, what I want to call whatever it is that we make. So, yeah.

[Angela Yee]

Do you say grand rising or good morning?

[Omarion]

I say the rise is grand. The rise is grand, baby.

[Angela Yee]

Hey, yo. Okay, so what. What is your relationship going back? What is your relationship now with B2K? With the rest? With the other three? Cause that is not. It's technically not B2K anymore, is it?

[Omarion]

I mean, I always will honor, you know, my group, my foundation, and, you know, where I come from, as far as personally, you know, we don't really have a relationship.

[DJ Envy]

None of them.

[Omarion]

Not. Not really. You know, I will say that Bug did come to one of my shows and we chopped it up, you know, so there'll always be a type of love there. You know, we. We grew up together and yeah, you know, we. We did something in all of our lives that no one in our lives did, you know, I mean, so I think that there's always an honor system there, you know, not to speak negatively ever. And it'd just be like, yeah, you know, that was that.

[Angela Yee]

Did you guys know each other before the group started or you guys were brought together as the group? That's.

[Omarion]

We were brought together as the group. Yeah. The first time I met them, it was at a New Year's Eve party and they performed and I performed and it was like, you want to be the lead singer? I was like, yeah. So, yeah. So, yeah. Yeah.

[Angela Yee]

And what about you and Marcus Houston? Are y'all close or.

[Omarion]

No?

[Angela Yee]

Okay. Got you.

[Omarion]

Yeah.

I don't know why we thought y'all.

Was real brothers, you know, that was our thing. That was our thing back then, you know? I mean, anybody that was a part of the camp. Camp was fam, you know, that's like, oh, that's my cousin. You know what I'm saying? But, yeah, no real blood type.

You were one of the few people who probably experienced real celebrity, right? Because I don't feel like there's real celebrity no more. Everybody a celebrity now.

That's true.

Like, y'all had to, like, run from crowds, be ducked off in disguise, like.

Yeah.

How did that feel? And was it hard to. When you weren't feeling it anymore?

Yeah, no, I, I, I felt like it was amazing, you know, it was amazing to, you know, look back on it. There was some times where, you know, I think Bug got hurt. He got lifted up into a crowd. It was, like, dangerous, you know. I mean, because five little strong girls is stronger than the biggest man, you know. I mean, but looking back on that time and having it, you know, be a part of my experience as far as the organic, you know, energy between you and your fans was amazing. And when it changed, it changed. Not just for me, for everyone. You know, I think you still have a little bit of a fandom still today, but it's viewed different. It's almost like, are you okay? Why are you screaming? Are you okay? You know, I still, I still receive that love, you know, no matter where I'm at on the planet, people still come up to me and be like, wow, my childhood. Can I take a picture with you? So I always appreciate, you know, the influence that I've had on people's life experience through music, through movies, through. So, yeah, I don't feel no way about it. You know, I definitely feel like, you know, a sort of an elder on the scene, you know what I mean? That has had all the experiences.

So it's just different when you got the, when you were a child star.

That's what I'm saying.

I guess that kid fan base, you know what I mean? They act different than everybody else, period.

And those fans are still with me to today. I'm so thankful for those fans that stuck with me because we're able to put on the Millennium Tour. We're able to, you know, bring that nostalgia back on the planet. Which, by the way, before the Millennium Tour, you know, that wasn't the show. That wasn't the, you know, the set list for, you know, all of these productions, you know, what I mean, to have a little bit nostalgia in your production, you know, is a great thing.

[DJ Envy]

Tell us the craziest story as a child, what Charlamagne was talking about, right? We always hear about the Michael Jackson story. People waiting in the airport for days, weeks. What was the craziest story that you remember as a child?

[Omarion]

And a girl being in our room before we got there. You know, the security would have to, like, check the room. I always thought that was weird because, you know, nobody know what room. How would they. Girl sitting in there, crouching down. Soon as we walk and we like. Oh, yeah.

[Angela Yee]

So it was a green room or like a.

[Omarion]

It was a green room. And then on my personal room, we, like, one of the workers just let themselves in. And I was, like, half sleep, and I woke up like, what are you doing?

[DJ Envy]

It was a girl.

[Omarion]

She was trying to gather, and she was like, hey. She was trying to get. I'm like. While I'm sleep. No. What are you doing, though? You gotta go.

[Angela Yee]

Damn.

[Just Hilarious]

Wow.

[Omarion]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. So that was when it was, like, a little scary.

[DJ Envy]

That's when you was a kid.

[Omarion]

Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

Jesus Christ.

[Omarion]

Yeah.

When were you able to, like, walk around a mall by yourself? Because I know. I know there was a point. Y'all couldn't even do stuff like that.

I don't know. I don't know. I still.

[Angela Yee]

I can't do that.

[Omarion]

Yeah. I still don't. Yeah.

I mean. I mean, you're a star. I'm talking about, like, pandemonium riot.

Oh. Maybe that happened after. After the. The group separated. Yeah, after the group separated, it shifted, you know, because if you walking in the. You know, the mall with. With. I mean, B2K was already four people, and then plus four security guards. It's like, you know, you in there and you a mob, you know, I mean, so people are like. But, you know, if you want to do things quickly, you go along. And that's what I learned, you know, how to be stealthy. So. Yeah.

Did you find that your fans grew with you?

Yes.

Okay.

Yes. A lot of them. I mean, a lot of them still, you know, still pop up to the shows and come to the meet and greets and everything. So. Yeah. Yeah. Girls I grew up with from New York City, they know who they are, you know, I mean, still come to my shows, they got kids got. Got work, all kind of stuff.

So you ever bring any of the kids and they got baby hairs and, you know, long.

Yeah. I say, what's up to their kids. Kids named after me? Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

Named after You?

[Omarion]

Yeah. Kids named after me and everything? Like. Yeah, it's. It's. It's. It's a few kids out there named after Omarion.

Do they look like Omari?

No, no, no.

Could they be Omarion's kids for real?

Oh, no, no, no, no, no.

[DJ Envy]

Are they dancing at the Ghost at the meet and greets? That's what you're asking?

[Omarion]

Yeah, yeah. Nah, nah, nah.

Okay.

No, I haven't met any of those yet, but I'm pretty sure that I've, you know, inspired some kids out there.

You know, you've worked with a lot of legendary labels. Epic. You was with young money for a little bit, made back music. What did you learn from each one of those experiences?

Experiences that it's. It's very important to make sure that you create the relationship that you want. And, you know, like you said, I've dealt with so many different layers and levels of business people, you know, at this particular time, you know, me and my team, we only dealing with the head, you know, pause. We're dealing with the top people, the people that are decision makers. So I think through all of that, you know, I mean, being on Maybach, because, you know, they were working with Atlantic, they were, you know, I won't say a subsidiary, but they did a, you know, a deal together.

Joint venture.

Yeah, joint venture. That's what the word I was looking for. So, yeah, just really dealing with the top people. That's decision makers. That's the difference to today. Like, you know, when I'm doing business, I deal with the people that can move things.

Do you feel like. Do you feel like they realize the full potential of Omarion, any of those labels?

I don't think they care. I don't think they care. I don't think it's. It's in the business's nature to care. I think that a lot of people in the business are, you know, just, you know, numbers. I think that there's a few executives that really care about the product and they understand that in order to really make a. An intentional return, you got to be invested for real, not just on a financial level. You have to really know where the artist wants to take it. So that's been my experience.

And you Indy now, right?

Yes. Shout out to create. I'm about to drop some new music, you know, myself and mpk, you know what I'm saying? We just doing a collaborative with Create. So, yeah.

What about Bow Wow? You think you and Bow Wow ever do a joint album again?

I'm not sure. I'M not sure. I feel like if I'm gonna do, you know, any collaboration, whether it be rapper, singer, I feel like they have to have, like, current music out. You know what I'm saying? Music that. And. And, you know, current music of the last maybe three to three years. You know what I'm saying? So, yeah, if I'm gonna do a collaborative, it's gonna be like, okay, new music, we working on new vibes.

Why is that? Just because you feel like, you know, if you made music in the last three years, you actually care. You're active.

Yeah, you're active. You know, I mean, like, you. You know, what's. You know, as far as producers, you know, I mean, like, what does that look like? And also, I feel like you. You have a. Like a better shot at putting something out, you know, like visuals. I think that today's artists, like, there's so many things that you have to do in order to, you know, really be visible. You know what I mean? So I would want someone as. Not just, you know, visible, you know, on social media, but, like, in the music, too.

I feel like you and Leo will cook up some shit together.

Oh, yeah, that would be dope. That would be dope.

[Angela Yee]

And you did a you got served style cameo for JT Something.

[Omarion]

Oh, yeah, yeah, that was.

[Angela Yee]

That was really dope.

[Omarion]

Yeah.

[Angela Yee]

How did that come about?

[Omarion]

Yeah, so JT and their people hit me up and they was like, you know, we got this song, you know, And I felt like, in a way, it was also paying homage to Fat Man Scoop, you know what I'm saying? Rest in peace. So, yeah, it was cool. She asked me, and I was just like, I got you. And she's such a sweetheart, you know what I mean? So I thought that was really, really dope. And I wish more artists would pay homage to the generation before them, you know, because we're still relatively young. You know What I mean? The 80s babies. I saw a video, and it was like, all these kids that were born in 2000, they were saying that you're old if you were born in 2000. And I'm like, huh?

[Angela Yee]

Yeah.

[Omarion]

I'm like. So it seems like being older stops at 30, which is crazy. Crazy, you know? I mean. So, yeah, I would. I would definitely love to continue to do things like that, work with, you know, some of the younger talent in the business.

[Angela Yee]

Yeah.

[Omarion]

Yeah.

Have you ever reached out to Leon?
