Omarion Speaks on Signing With Rick Ross's MMG Label


Although the rumour that Mase would be signing with MMG is still not confirmed, the one that is for sure is the Omarion move. The former B2K member, Omarion recently signed to Rick Ross's MMG Label, and he spoke  on the genesis of the deal and what people are to expect.










"I saw [Rick Ross] in North Carolina, and I was telling him, I’m about to do this certain type of deal and I need a track. He was like, before you do that, we need to have a conversation. I went down to Miami, and I played him some records and then he was like, ‘This is easy right here,'" he said.




The former B2K member denied claims that he would be changing his name to Maybach O, to which he was referred during the press conference. "That’s actually just a nickname that everybody calls me. That’s really funny. I think people were getting confused, though I was changing my name to Maybach O. No. That’s my nickname, I call myself Maybach O. That’s my AKA. I’m not changing my name."




Rosenberg addressed the unlikely signing of an R&B artist to MMG, considering that it's made up entirely of rappers. Omarion said that the essence of MMG's movement is soul music, and that's why he fits in with the team. "I like to think that music, it’s all relative. It’s all emotional, it’s all lyrics. That’s one of the types of things I talked about with Rick Ross. He said, that’s our core. It’s soulful music. You can’t get soulful music without singing. To answer your question, I would say just wait and listen to the music we got coming."


People can hate Rick Ross all they want, but you can't deny the fact that building a strong empire right now. He got Meek Mill, Wale, Himself, and now Omarion. I think you can say MMG and YMCMB are running the rap game right now. Omarion hasn't released a hot song for a while now, but there is no question that the kid is talented. With that said, i think he made the best move of his career. Rick Ross would give him creative space, but make sure he is on the scene as much as he wants...or as much as he should be.
