‘He Never Recovered from Lil’ Saint’s Death’: Jokes Ensue After Omarion Asks Twitter Followers About Their Use of the Word Bless

Singer Omarion makes it no secret that he wants to live the most peaceful and clear-minded life possible. Despite having years of experience in the entertainment industry, and all that accompanies a life in the limelight he has managed to discover his zen.

On social he often shares his thoughts on dance being a means of moving energy in the body, and how getting back to nature can help anyone with quieting the noise of gossip and the inevitable curve balls life may throw.

But when the B2K band member took to Twitter to pose the following question, there was an immediate scratch in the record.

Followers who found the question to be just a little too “woke” flooded Omarion with questions of their own.

“Would you use semantics if you knew they were some antics?”

“Would u ride a plane if u knew it was telling u to depend on plan e? that shows a lack of faith in your plan a, let alone b and c”

Others threw in their two cents while making jokes and breaking down other words.

“He never recovered from Lil Saint’s death,” jokingly wrote one person referencing the movie “You Got Served.”

“Ice box .. where ur Brain used to be….”

“Just because funeral has the word fun in it doesn’t make it fun.”

“We can’t say good morning….. we can’t say we’re blessed…. there’s too many ruuuuules”

Some even questioned drug use as the culprit behind the mind-bending question.

“What type of plugs do you guys got in Hollywood?”

“You smoking that good shit huh?”

Not being a person who can’t take a joke, Omarion humored his followers by retweeting some comments. But his greater takeaway was prompting people to consider the weight of the words they use.

“Words have power that’s a fact,” he tweeted before bringing his input to a close on the matter. “It’s all love y’all. Let’s keep thinking about the small details. It’s been fun. Have a productive day. Later.🎩✨😊”

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.
