‘If I Want Something, I’m Gon’ Get It’: Apryl Jones Says She Made the First Move on Lil Fizz

Apryl Jones has been living her life on the low since her breakup with Lil Fizz, but recently she answered some of her fans’ questions about her private life. On a Nov. 16 Instagram Live, Jones was complaining about how people always ask men who they have slept with but never ask women when a fan finally asked her who she has “hit” or had sex with. 

She answered at the 17:22 mark “One of the people that I hit was Dreux,” referring to Lil Fizz’s actual first name.

Jones continued, “That was on me. It’ll be … you’ll hear about it. But, that was on me. I mean, it was on him, too, to accept. I’m just saying, it’s not just like, a man coming up to me and being like, ‘Yeah, I want this.’ Sometimes women take lead. Sometimes women are like, ‘Yo, I want that. You gon’ give it to me or nah?’ That’s what I mean. It’s not just a matter of a man pressing up on you and liking you. If I want something, I’m gon’ get it, period.”

Last year, Jones and Lil Fizz confirmed their relationship, which brought a lot of controversy upon the couple. People felt that it was not appropriate for Lil Fizz to be dating Jones, because he is the former “B2K” band mate of Jones’ ex and children’s father, Omarion Grandberry. Although everyone else had their opinions about the relationship, Omarion always remained unbothered. 

After answering that question, fans asked who else the 33-year-old initiated sex with besides Lil Fizz. She responded by saying the people that she approached were not people that the viewers on her Live would be familiar with.  

The mother of two clarified and said that the only other person they would know is Omarion but that “he hit it” or initiated sex with her first. 

The 20-minute clip of the Live ended with Jones saying that she doesn’t like when women slut-shame other women for having sexual desires. 

She said, “I stand for the women,” and later added, “Whatever you want to do, do it. Go for it.”

As for her and Fizz’s relationship, the “Love and Hip Hop Hollywood” couple reportedly broke up in January of this year. Speculations about the status of their relationship began to rise after people noticed that the two were no longer following each other on social media.

In January, Jones appeared as a guest on Fox Soul’s “Out Loud with Claudia Jordan,” where the host asked Jones if she was still with Lil Fizz.

She responded, “You know Dreux is a great man, and his focus is on Kam, my focus is on my children, and we are where we are, and I kinda wanna leave it there.”

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.
