One thing I have learned about Omarion is that he loves Africa and the deep culture embedded within it. The American RnB superstar loves Africa so much so that he shot two music videos in Africa(South Africa) before releasing a song with Diamond Platnumz.
Omarion who is also an actor shot a music video with rapper in South Africa for their song ‘Tell Me’ which has since been a hit but not a hit as his song called ‘Distance’ that was also shot in South Africa but became an instant hit everywhere.
Omarion is very happy to continue what his idle, Michael Jackson began back in the day by singing in Swahili in his records; ‘Liberian Girl’ and ‘Wanna be start’n Somethin’ and he couldn’t be happier and even went ahead to share his Swahili verse that made the whole world shook by seeing him singing in Swahili.
“Penzi ntalipamba ngonjera,huba kama tanga segera,kwa viuno ka baikoko kutoka manzabay,picha twazitwanga kisela,post insta wanga kuwakera. ^!FUN FACT^! Micheal Jackson sung Swahili on “Liberian girl” & “wanna be start’n somethin”. What a pleasure I have continuing the work of my musical forefather M.J. connecting our understanding of one another thru culture & language. It’s all love! Diamond Platnumz – African beauty. I’m around the globe with this!! 🌍.” Omarion said.
Watch Omarion’s verse for the song ‘African Beauty’ with Tanzanian superstar Diamond Platnumz.
