Omarion has to be wondering why certain people seem hell bent on ruining his career.
The
singer has been dogged by rumors regarding his sexuality recently.
First former B2K member Raz-B and his brother Ricky Romance declared the
“Ice Box” singer was homosexual. Then on Saturday (January 8) a press
release was sent out declaring Omarion was bisexual.
Omarion has declared that the press release was fake, but here is what it said:
“I
pride myself in being an honest, God Fearing, respectful man. I have
kept my personal life private and wanted to keep it that way.
Unfortunately, other’s are interested in profiting from my anguish; so
before they can do that, i will clarify things. I am not at all what
certain ex-band members are trying to paint me as, I am however a
respectable, mature, proud, bisexual man.”
Omarion,
who was in Japan at the time immediately denied being responsible for
the press release, he tweeted his 350,000 twitter followers assuring
them the press release was fake.
“”Check it out ‘I DID NOT
RELEASE THAT STATEMENT’,whatever you like is your business but I AINT
GAY OR BISEXUAL,I love women PERIOD!!!!!!!
Soon afterwards, O’s PR team sent out an official press release.
”The
previously released statement regarding Omarion is false and was
generated for negative publicity by an unknown person. Omarion will not
contribute to anything negative said or done against him. Omarion
respects all of his fans, no matter religion, sexuality, or race.”
The
rumors got so out of hand, Omarion became a trending topic on Twitter.
Frustrated, he called into Hot 97 from Japan to speak with Funkmaster
Flex and once and for all clear up the rumors.
“First and
foremost let me say I did not release that statement. Whatever people
like is their business, but I’m not gay or bisexual, I love women and
that’s just what it is.” Omarion told Flex
