‘You Played Yourself’: Apryl Jones Seemingly Unfazed by Alleged Split From Lil Fizz, Fans Show No Mercy

Omarion’s ex-girlfriend and mother of the his two children, Apryl Jones, and B2K group member Dreux “Lil Fizz” Frederic seem to have found love in a hopeless place.

The problematic duo tried to play coy on social media during the spring of 2019, but by the summer it was confirmed that love was in full bloom. However, not even a year in and it seems the two are on the outs, and Jones is anything but bothered.

Jones dressed in a fitted black outfit and made it a point to show off just how unbothered she is in a video posted to Instagram, where she is seen dancing to music and gazing into a mirror.

Fans who were outraged by the relationship saw it as a stab in the back to Omarion, who stayed relatively mum on the matter. While the problematic love connection played out on “Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood,” fans consistently provided backlash while Jones and Fizz tried to prove that their relationship was real and not just an opportunity to garner screen time and collect a check.

When fans caught wind of Jones’ video and realized the two lovers were no longer following each other on Instagram, they had everything they needed to conclude that the relationship was over.

“Looks like fizz trying to get back on tour,” commented one fan. To make the message clearer, Jones also deleted every photo of her with Fizz from social media. However, the 34-year-old heartthrob still has an Oct. 26 photo of the duo posted to his Instagram page, one captioned “Good things come to those who wait.”

“They say you lose them how u got them”

“You played yourself!!”

Although most are not surprised by the alleged breakup, they do have a mouthful to say about the 32-year-old L.A. native trying to make it seem as though all is well.

“Nah she give AF but WE don’t because if she really didn’t she wouldn’t be putting in so much work trying to prove she don’t”

“It was for tv ppl they got they bag”

Whether this duo will reconcile or wage war against each other is unknown, but fans are likely expecting the story to play out on the next season of “LHHH.”

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. 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, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up 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.
