Omarion Dodges Nia Long Questions In Awkward Exchange With Paparazzi

She’s newly single and it’s unclear if she’s ready to mingle, but all eyes have been on Nia Long. The actress ended her 13-year relationship with Boston Celtics coach Ime Udoka following an explosive cheating scandal that rocked the franchise. She remained silent through the pop culture chatter, but now, Long is back to promote not one but two film projects.

Long has been busy jet-setting from red carpets for Missing and You People, to popping up in Dubai with Terrence J. At the You People premiere in Los Angeles, she ran into Omarion as photographers captured their interaction. The innocent exchange turned into a viral moment after the former B2K singer shared a post on social media.

Omarion added a simple smiling face emoji to the brief clip. Quickly, as social media users often do, rumors began swirling online about some romance—or sneaky link. Long returned to join in with the laughs and made it clear that she’s a single woman.

More recently, while traveling through LAX, Omarion was spotted by the paparazzi. Of course, they questioned him about his moment with the veteran actress. The singer was quick to shut down speculation about them dating.

The cameraperson noted that Omarion was “putting the fire out, right here, right now.”

“Well, I wouldn’t say that,” Omarion replied. The photog assumed, “Oh, so there’s a little bit of a window.” O answered, “I didn’t say that. I didn’t say anything.”

It was clear that the paparazzo was looking for a soundbite to roll with, but Omarion wasn’t budging. “I just met her on the red carpet,” he added.

Check out the awkward exchange above.

Kehlani Doesn’t Have A Romantic Type: “I’ve Got Flavours FR”

Since first rising to fame in the early 2010s, Kehlani has been in their fair share of relationships. 2016 was spent with names like Kyrie Irving and PARTYNEXTDOOR. By the next year, Shaina Negron was her lover of choice.

Later on, the 27-year-old was linked to Demi Lovato, Javie Young White, YG, and more recently, 070 Shake. The latter union came to an end in the final months of 2022. Before December came to a close, ‘lani was seen bumping and grinding with Black Panther actress Letitia Wright at a London club.

While some romance rumours floated around online, nothing actually transpired between the two. Finally, the blue water road vocalist unveiled her new partner for the world to meet at the end of last month. Since then, fans have been eager to find out more about Kiara Russell and her relationship with the Oakland native.

As you can tell from the diverse roster of former partners, Kehlani is open to pursuing people from all walks of life. Last week, she sat down with Amelia Dimoldenberg on her popular Chicken Shop Date series. In the video, she spills some serious tea on her love life.

“People would say that I have a type, but they haven’t seen everybody that I’ve ever talked to or dated,” they explained to the journalist. “So I’m actively always fighting that in my head. Like, do I just get on the internet and show them every single person I’ve ever spoken to?”

In response, the host plainly said, “I don’t think you should do that.” Kehlani then teased, “Oh, I’ve got flavours, for real.”

The same interview found the mother of one discussing not dating fans, sucking toes, and visiting strip clubs. “Me and the strippers have an interesting relationship,” they admitted.

“They want to talk about zodiac signs, and what my music did for them, and moments when they grew up with me, while they’re throwing ass at me. It’s a little bit of cognitive dissonance, because I’m like, super gay, and I’m like ‘Wow, that ass,’ but also, I’m so glad that I touched your heart at some point with my love songs.”

Her relationships are certainly a hot topic of conversation, but recently, Kehlani has been pouring some extra energy into self-love. Over the past few months, she’s been consistently hitting the gym, and the results clearly speak for themselves.
