Yesterday saw rapper Rick Ross shock the Urban diaspora with news that he had signed R&B trier Omarion to his Maybach Music imprint.
And while many jaws remain on the floor, the former B2K star stopped by BET’s 106 & Park (with his new “crew”) to discuss his surprising signing and the heat his new music will be packing.
Peep the action after the jump…
With O’s releases having been quite the punchline over the last few years, Officer Ricky and co have quite the task on their hands making him relevant to today’s audience. However, credit where its due, Omari is talented – he’s simply needed musical guidance and a vocal coach that will nip his nasal delivery in the bud. And while we’re doubtful Maybach is the movement to make that happen, we hope they prove us wrong.

MARQUES HOUSTON ALL OVER AGAIN!
you don’t have to put such a disgusting picture, you may think that you are poking fun at Omarion, but you are embarrassing urselves, u know young women come on our sight to look at their favs and u put s*** like this…u might be gay and wanna see another man’s junk, but not everyone….Smh at ur ghetto ass
People keep trying to.shade Omarion but I’m gonna support him regardless because he is talented. He also sounds a hell of a lot better then Chris Brown and Trey Songz.
That Picture is funny look in the background u can see a old man w/ a 1 piece on lol

I got totally distracted once they showed Victor Cruz. Damn he is FIIIIIIIIINE!!!! Oh yeah good luck to Omarion
LMFAO at him sounding better then Chris Brown and Trey Songz! Omarion is wack! It took him like 8 years to recover from B2K! Im sorry this wasn’t a good look for Rick Ross! They should of signed someone else because no one pays Omarion any attention! SMH But not hating on his hustle!
NNOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! I like O but Maybach and O do not mix… Rick Ross Why did you sign him… Maybach music has so much SOUL …
I’m going to try and be positive about this move! Good luck to everyone involved! 🙂
