OMG (group)

OMG (initialism of "Officially Miss Guided") was an American teenage girl group, initially known as the OMG Girlz.[1] Their name is a play on words, it represents being young ladies "Miss" that are "Guided" in positive ways.[1] Formed in 2009, by Tameka "Tiny" Cottle, the Atlanta-based girl group performed publicly for the first time on an episode of BET's Tiny and Toya reality television series.[2] They also have made appearances on the 2012 series T.I. and Tiny: The Family Hustle.[1] Their mission was to inspire throughout the world and let them know they could stand together as friends,[1] teens, and young women. They are possibly best known for their singles "Can't Stop Loving You", "Where the Boys At?", and "Gucci This (Gucci That)".

On December 31, 2017, OMG reunited to perform as a special guest during Zonnique's opening set on the Great Xscape Tour with Xscape.

History

2009– 2010: Beginnings and departures

Prior to the group's debut, Zonnique Jailee Pullins (daughter of Tameka "Tiny" Harris then Cottle) was a member of the duo group QT Posse with QT Jazz. QT Posse later disbanded and OMG Girlz was formed. This new group consisted of four members Zonnique "Star" Pullins, (sisters) Bahja "Beauty" Rodriguez/Lourdes "Lolo" Rodriguez, and Reginae "Baby Carter" Carter whose parents were all close friends with Zonnique's mother.[3][4]

Shortly after the release of their first single "Ain't Nobody" in 2010, Reginae "Baby Carter" Carter (daughter of rapper Lil Wayne and Toya Carter) departed from the group. A few months later, OMG Girlz's second single "Haterz" (stylized as H.A.T.E.R.Z) was released. OMG later performed the single on Good Day Atlanta.[5] The group downsized once more after Lourdes "Lolo" Rodriguez left the group given her young age. Afterwards this left the group as a duo consisting of members "Beauty" and "Star" only.

While searching for a third member, the fourth single "So Official" was released. Shortly after OMG had pinned the newest addition to the group Breaunna "Babydoll" Womack due to finding her on a YouTube video dancing to Beyoncé's song "Ego".[6]

2011– 2013: New Beginning, tours, signed, and breakthrough

In 2011, the girls were added to the Scream Tour: Next Generation line-up, by way of a national contest, which featured Diggy Simmons, Mindless Behavior, Jacob Latimore, Jawan Harris, and TK-N-Cash. This tour helped the group gain fans across the country. Their first single as a trio, "Gucci This (Gucci That)" was a featured song on the tour. After the tour was over in December 2011, the OMG Girlz were signed to Interscope/Streamline Records via Pretty Hustle/Grand Hustle (labels by Tameka "Tiny" Harris & Clifford "T.I.P" Harris). The following year on February 28, 2012, "Gucci This (Gucci That)" was released as their first official single under Interscope/Streamline Records, available for public download.[7] On April 28, 2012, it peaked at #59 on two of Billboard's charts R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay[8] for 10 weeks and Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs[9] for 13 weeks.

Their second single "Where the Boys At?" which was written by fellow young artists Lil Will and Trevante was released on June 12, 2012. On July 14, 2012, it peaked at #77 on Billboard's Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart and stayed on the chart for 5 weeks.[10]

While performing on tour they previewed a song called "Lover Boy", the unreleased song would later on become the group's most highly anticipated single.

OMG made several cameo appearances for different artists, one being in T.I.'s video for "Hello".

In fall of 2013, their singles "Can't Stop Loving You", and "Baddie" were released.

In the summer of 2013, two days before they were scheduled to begin the All Around The World tour with teen pop boy group Mindless Behavior, they released three singles titled "Do You Remember", "Incredimazable", and "Ridin' Slow".

2014– 2015: Maturity and disbandment

In the spring of 2014, the group released their first mature single called "Boy It's Over" (which samples the R&B group Jagged Edge single "Girl It's Over" from their third studio album Jagged Little Thrill).

On March 12, 2015, OMG had unexpectedly announced that they would no longer be pursuing a career as a group on their official Instagram account. Since the disbandment, each member has since put out personal solo projects.
