Omarion revealed his three-year journey of celibacy and spiritual discipline during a revealing conversation with Boyz II Men’s Shawn Stockman on the On That Note podcast, describing it as a formative chapter in his personal growth and self-mastery.

The B2K frontman didn’t hold back as he reflected on the period of intentional abstinence, saying it was driven by a desire to gain control over his body and mind.

“I did it for three years. Now I look back, I be like, sheesh,” he said. “‘Cause I love women. I love women in all splendour, friendships, best friends, lovers, all that.”

Omarion explained the deeper connection he felt during that time, calling it a kind of mental intimacy.

“I think that’s when I was being introduced to a form of telepathy. Feeling closer to someone even when they’re away,” he said. “I just had the power to say no to anything. Like yo, if I don’t want to do something, I could stop today. And I think that that’s the power of discipline.”

This isn’t the first time the R&B singer has opened up about this chapter in his life. He previously discussed it on the “Know Thyself” podcast, recalling advice he received in his teenage years.

“‘Do you want to have a career? Or do you want to be out here making babies?’” he remembered being asked. “And we’re like, ‘Huh?’ You know 15, 16, we’re not thinking about that, but it’s a real thing.”

Now a father of two with his ex, Apryl Jones, Omarion continues to explore his evolution through music. His upcoming album O2 is slated for release in 2026.
