‘This Is What I Mean When I Ask Do U Have a Brother’: Omarion and Brother O’Ryan Have Fans Salivating Over Shirtless Video

It’s summertime, but that hasn’t been the only reason for some to sweat lately.Thanks to Omarion and his youngest brother O’Ryan, quite a few fans across the nation were feeling the heat this past weekend.

On Sunday, June 14, Omarion shared a video on Instagram that showed him and his brother dancing shirtless in what appeared to be Omarion’s backyard of his California home. The “Ice Box” artist showed off the tattoos on his midsection, while his brother flaunted his washboard abs. Clad in only matching pairs of gray sweatpants, Omarion and O’Ryan were jamming out to “No Ordinary Love” by Sade.

“Soul Sunday’s with @0ryan0ryan 💜. Spreading some energy around on my favorite day. Sunday. Things are changing,” Omarion wrote. Since the temperature was scorching, the 35-year-old singer indulged in a bottle of water. However, some people proclaimed that Omarion and his little brother were actually the refreshment. “Lord it makes no sense for them to be this damn fine 😅,” one user wrote.

Over 400,000 people watched the footage, and nearly 3,000 commentators had the same reaction. “This is what I mean when I ask do u have a brother 😍😜😜,” someone stated, while a third user gushed, “These some beautiful black men I tell ya 🥰 Sheesh.”

Omarion and O’Ryan are undeniably close and share family fun days with their children. Omarion has a 5-year-old son, Megaa Omari, and a 4-year-daughter, A’mei Kazuko Grandberry, with his ex-girlfriend and “Love and Hip Hop Hollywood” reality star Apryl Jones. O’Ryan shares his 11-year-old daughter Namiko Love Browner with singer and ex-girlfriend Jhené Aiko. A few fans that reacted to the clip were stunned to know O’Ryan and Jhené dated in the past. “I did not know O’Ryan was Jhené baby daddy🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️.”

In 2017, the two celebrity fathers took their children to the beach. O’Ryan shared a photo in a now-deleted Instagram post of his daughter riding a bicycle with her cousins.

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.
