‘Now That’s Gangsta’: Social Media Erupts After Omarion — on Lil Fizz’s Birthday — Posts He’ll Do Next ‘Millennium Tour’ Without B2K Mates

Omarion Grandberry proved he might just be savage after all.

As of late, the “Icebox” singer has been surrounded by drama after his B2K band mate Lil Fizz confirmed he was dating Grandberry’s ex-girlfriend, “Love and Hip Hop: Hollywood” star Apryl Jones.

Fans deemed Grandberry the “unbothered king” due to his nonchalant attitude toward Fizz and his ex’s antics, and it looks like he may have won over fans again. Tuesday, Nov. 26, the “Touch” singer announced he was headlining the 2020 “Millennium Tour,” but without any of his band mates.

“It’s about that time. 🙌🏾😁✨🏆 What a blessing to commemorate this accomplishment by headlining #milleniumtour2020 #20yearsinMusic2020 🙌🏾,” Grandberry wrote via Instagram, adding that he’ll be touring with Bow Wow, Soulja Boy, Pretty Ricky, Lloyd, the Ying Yang Twins and Sammie.

If going on the the tour without his band mates wasn’t already enough to get social media users talking, Grandberry made the announcement on Lil Fizz’s 34th birthday.

Fizz has yet responded to his former childhood friend going on tour without him and his band mates, but singer J-Boog did.

Boog posted an Instagram video of himself boxing, with the caption “#houknew Woke up feeling like this…” Fans believed the video was not only in response to Grandberry’s tour revelation, but he was seemingly throwing shots at his longtime friend Fizz, who he suggested was “f–king up the bag” by dating Jones.

Fellow B2K group mate Raz-B, however, congratulated Grandberry and the other 2020 “Millennium Tour” acts, telling the Shade Room that he’s “falling back at this time” and “congratulations to the fellas of round 2.” B2K toured together for the 2019 version of the “Millenium Tour.”

Social media users commended Grandberry for his “chess move,” with several reactions.

“This is true revenge!!! Peace and Success! Go Mari❤️ I know B2k is somewhere pissed tf off!”

“What a major drop , ha ha Omarion is KING for this lol now that’s gansta!🤣 bye little fizzle pop”

“Y’all! Jboog so mad at fizz right now! 😂 You don’t need B2K they need you! 🙌 congrats Mari! Aha to Apryl and Fizz lmaoo”

“Chess. Not checkers. 🔥 Omarion is definitely winning. I wonder what baby fizzle pop will say??? Alexa, play Level Up 😂”

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
