The OMG Girlz are a U.S.-based R&B and pop girl group established in 2009 by Tameka "Tiny" Cottle in Atlanta. Their initial public appearance was on BET's reality series Tiny and Toya, followed by a feature on the 2012 show T.I. & Tiny: The Family Hustle. The group's mission centers on empowering young women worldwide. Among their well-known tracks are "Can't Stop Loving You", "Where the Boys At?", and "Gucci This (Gucci That)".
After a two-year hiatus, they reunited on December 31, 2017, during Zonnique's opening performance on the Great Xscape Tour alongside Xscape. On July 12, 2023, the OMG Girlz officially regrouped and announced the release of their eagerly awaited single Lover Boy.
2009–2010: Formation and lineup changes
Prior to forming OMG Girlz, Zonnique Jailee Pullins, daughter of Tameka "Tiny" Harris, was a member of the duo QT Posse. Following that group's dissolution, OMG Girlz came together featuring Zonnique "Star" Pullins, sisters Bahja "Beauty" and Lourdes "Lolo" Rodriguez, along with Reginae "Baby" Carter—each being children of close acquaintances of Zonnique’s mother.
Their debut single "Ain't Nobody" was released in 2010; shortly after, Reginae Carter, daughter of rapper Lil Wayne, exited the group. The follow-up single "Haterz" (styled as H.A.T.E.R.Z) was performed on Good Day Atlanta. Lourdes Rodriguez left due to her young age, leaving the ensemble as a duo consisting of "Beauty" and "Star."
While searching for a third member, they issued their fourth single titled "So Official." Breaunna "Babydoll" Womack joined the group after being discovered through a YouTube clip where she danced to Beyoncé's "Ego."
2011–2013: Growth, tours, record deal, and rising success
In 2011, OMG Girlz earned a spot on the Scream Tour: Next Generation lineup through a nationwide contest, sharing the stage with acts such as Diggy Simmons and Mindless Behavior. This exposure helped broaden their audience across the country. Their first trio single, "Gucci This (Gucci That)", was promoted during this tour. After its conclusion in December 2011, they secured a contract with Interscope/Streamline Records via Pretty Hustle/Grand Hustle—labels owned by Tameka "Tiny" Harris and Clifford "T.I.P" Harris. On February 28, 2012, "Gucci This (Gucci That)" was officially released under Interscope/Streamline and reached number 59 on Billboard’s R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay and Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs charts.
Their next release, "Where the Boys At?", penned by Lil Will and Trevante, came out on June 12, 2012. It climbed to number 77 on Billboard’s Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart by July 14, 2012, maintaining its presence for five weeks.
Throughout various tours, they previewed the track "Lover Boy," which became highly anticipated among fans. Additionally, they appeared briefly in music videos such as T.I.’s "Hello".
In the fall of 2013, they launched singles including "Can't Stop Loving You" and "Baddie." Just prior to embarking on the All Around the World tour alongside teen pop group Mindless Behavior in summer 2013, they released three more singles: "Do You Remember," "Incredimazable," and "Ridin' Slow."
2014–2015: Peak and dissolution
During the spring of 2014, the ensemble unveiled their sophisticated track "Boy It's Over," which incorporated a sample from Jagged Edge's "Girl It's Over" off the album Jagged Little Thrill. On March 12, 2015, OMG declared through Instagram that they would cease activities as a group. Since that announcement, each member has embarked on individual artistic ventures.
2017–present: Comeback
After reuniting for the Great Xscape Tour, OMG resumed recording sessions. In May 2023, they produced the single "Lover Boy," which was officially released on July 14, 2023—marking their first new music release in over ten years. The group has scheduled an album launch for Fall 2023. They made an appearance at the BET Awards on June 25, 2023, and revealed the artwork for "Lover Boy" on July 11.
OMG also took part in Beyoncé’s Renaissance World Tour at Mercedes Benz Stadium on August 14. On May 3, 2024, they announced their participation alongside Xscape and SWV for the Queens of R&B Tour. Their setlist features popular tracks such as “Where the Boys At?”, “Baddie”, “Gucci This (Gucci That)”, the new single “Motion,” along with a dance interlude to GloRilla’s “TGIF.” Additional concert dates were added as of July 29, 2024.
The track “Motion” was launched on August 2, 2024, coinciding with Bahja’s birthday celebration.
In September 2024, T.I. and Tiny secured a $71 million verdict in a lawsuit against MGA Entertainment for unauthorized use of OMG Girlz's likeness through L.O.L. Surprise! O.M.G. dolls. The court found MGA guilty of infringing upon the group's intellectual property rights by exploiting their image without permission.
Their second post-reunion single, “Make a Scene,” was released on March 28, 2025.
