Omarion appeared on “The Breakfast Club” Thursday to talk about his new book “Unbothered: The Power of Choosing Joy” and to address his relationship with former B2K member Lil’ Fizz.
During the interview, O claimed that Fizz was the reason why his relationship with his children’s mother, Apryl Jones, was strained.
Omarion claimed that he had no idea Lil’ Fizz and Jones were dating until an outside source told him so.
“I heard, and you know, it really turned up ‘my unbothered’ in a whole another way,” he said. “I knew that what he was doing was on purpose. And it didn’t really prove anything. At the end of the day, you have to recognize that people make their own choices. And most of the time, it has nothing to do with you. So he made that choice. And I don’t think it was a smart choice.”
When asked about Jones’s involvement, he said, “I can’t understand, but from her perspective—someone that is hurt—hurt people hurt people. And some people just take it to another level. And she definitely took it to another level.”
According to Omarion, Fizz was around when he and Apryl were in a relationship. He even thought they were on the right track toward rebuilding their friendship.
“Anybody that is around me, I am obviously comfortable with them. So to say that ‘We ain’t close’—when me and [Lil] Fizz linked back up, it was definitely some synergy,” Omarion expressed. “He definitely had a different personality. And I would say that he was more humble—he needed something. When we [were] hanging out, that’s what the vibe was. We were going on bike rides—we were essentially getting back to a new level of brotherhood. And there were times that he came over and he was dealing with other girls. And he came over while [Apryl and I were] in a relationship. His invitation to be on ‘Love and Hip Hop: Hollywood’ and all of that. So that’s why I said it ‘turned up my unbothered’ because I knew it was intentional. Like, ‘what do you get from this? Do you think you won a contest or something?'”
He said, “What you did was destroy something that—and you know, one apology is not enough.”
It was reported that Fizz apologized for dating Jones during the first stop of the “Millennium Tour,” with Omarion calling his apology “definitely appropriate,” but now it’s clear he feels differently about the situation.
