Inspiration and Aspiration: How the OMG Girlz Changed the Game
With the rise of girl groups in the music industry, none have quite the unique story and impact as the Atlanta-based OMG, originally known as the OMG Girlz. Their name, an initialism for "Officially Miss Guided," cleverly captures their essence, representing young ladies "Miss" guided in positive ways. Founded in 2009 by Tameka "Tiny" Cottle, OMG dazzled fans with their debut on BET's Tiny and Toya and continued to inspire on series such as T.I. and Tiny: The Family Hustle.
OMG's musical mission was to empower teens and young women worldwide, showing that unity and friendship are powerful tools for growth. With catchy singles like "Can't Stop Loving You", "Where the Boys At?", and "Gucci This (Gucci That)", their sound resonated with fans across genres of Hip Hop and Pop.
The year 2017 marked a nostalgic moment when OMG reunited to perform on the Great Xscape Tour with Xscape, and even updated their Facebook in early 2018, hinting at a possible reunion. Their influence remains strong, from walking the path with artists such as Jacob Latimore and Mindless Behavior, to inspiring a new generation of musicians.
