It’s been a few days since B2K and Pretty Ricky’s Verzuz, but fans still can’t stop recapping some of the show’s viral moments. One moment that’s still taking over the internet happened when Omarion asked Pleasure P, Spectacular, and Baby Blue were their fourth member, Slick ‘Em, was. The question had social media popping OFF, with plenty of fans assuming that Omarion was throwing shade. Now, he’s speaking up and setting the record straight to clear the air about what he really meant.
If you’ve been out of the loop, fans have been going IN on Omarion after he questioned where Slick ‘Em was right in the middle of Verzuz. A now-viral clip shows him coming at Pretty Ricky right before their song plays, and he says, “Where Slick ‘Em at?” The minute fans peeped what he said, plenty of folks started reacting online, saying his comment mean and a corny move.
Pleasure P hopped on a livestream after the Verzuz to shoutout Slick ‘Em and let folks know the group definitely wants him back. Rumors previously surfaced that Slick ‘Em was battling substance abuse and left the group to enter rehab. In 2024, Pleasure P addressed his whereabouts, saying he didn’t want to speak on his business but believe the industry played a role in his downfall.
After LiveBitez dropped the clip of Omarion, he hopped straight into the comment section to clear the air. He said he stays to himself and focuses on his kids, and didn’t know Slick ‘Em was going through it, but still he wished him well.
“First of all I do not keep up with nobody but my kids. I did not know that slick em was having a tough time. I wish deep healing & recovery,” Omarion wrote.
Reactions kept rolling in after Omarion spoke out. Folks over in LiveBitez’s comment section were split some said they didn’t know about Slick ‘Em’s situation either, while others doubled down and said Omarion knew what he was doing when he asked about him.
