‘You Got Served’: Apryl Jones Shares That Her Ex Omarion Keeps Taking Her to Court About Their Two Children

Apryl Jones revealed during an Instagram Live on Aug. 4 that her ex Omarion “constantly” serves her papers relating to their two children Megaa Grandberry, 6, and 5-year-old A’mei Grandberry. During a Q&A session with her followers, Jones shared her current relationship status with the singer. She said on mark 8:05, “I don’t know how to answer this, um, there is no relationship.”

Despite their nonexistent relationship, Jones added that the former couple, who split in 2016, found a “method” when it comes to raising their children. “We found a method, but there no relationship. Nothing at all, zip, zero, nada. But like I said there’s a method there so that’s great.”

As the video continued, the 34-year-old disclosed that although finding a common ground with her ex when it pertains to their children is important, one thing she could live without is the constant court drama. Jones said as she elaborated on the pair’s method of co-parenting, “The method is hard, because he has people that help him with the kids. So I rather preferably deal with them. So that’s our method.”

She added while joking about her “served” papers by mentioning Omarion’s 2004 hit dance film “You Got Served!”

“And I’m always getting served,” Jones described. “That’s just the truth. So constantly having to deal with that in court and all this, I’m tired. I would preferably like for it to stop, but that’s just kind of what it’s boiled down to. But like I said, we figured out a method that doesn’t bother me anymore as far as being served. I know you guys are going to laugh because you going to be like, ‘Haha, you got served, haha.’ It’s like, I laugh too, because how is that? But, honestly, it’s OK.”

Jones wrapped up the conversation by stating that the unspecified court drama between her and Omarion doesn’t matter because she can’t “control people and what they are going to do.” She also disclosed that despite where her and Omarion’s relationship stands, she’s hopeful that it gets in a better position for the sake of their children.

Despite revealing her current relationship status and the court drama with Omarion, Jones didn’t really clarify why the 36-year-old keeps hauling her back into court, claiming she is unsure herself.

As the clip of Jones’ Instagram Live became viral many voiced their instant reactions to her revelation. Some claimed that the “Touch” singer was right for taking legal steps in making sure his children are safe given the reality star’s former actions in the public, with one of them being dating Omarion’s B2K bandmate Lil Fizz. While others felt that Jones was leaving some information out when opening up about her court issues.

“You f–k my mans from my group I been friends with for years IMMA KEEP SERVING YOU TOO .. NO LETTIN UP.”

“If the kids are ok I don’t see why he keeps on serving her, but for that previous clown behaviour displayed by April…..go ahead sir. 💞”

“People that truly care about the welfare of their children don’t care if it’s 42 years you’ve been separated they are going to always come after you when it concerns their children. Not saying she’s doing anything wrong just stating facts.”

“If she said she gives him the kids whenever he wants, I wonder what could be be serving about?”

“Must be a reason he’s serving you?”

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

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.

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.
