Omarion has spoken about the few years he spent practicing celibacy as part of a spiritual experience.

The B2K singer opened up to Boyz II Men's Shawn Stockman on his On That Note podcast and said that as a young man, being celibate was an intense experience because of how he was "spiritually searching for strength and personal control over myself and my body".

"I did it for three years. Now I look back, I be like, sheesh," he recalled. "'Cause I love women. I love women in all splendour, friendships, best friends, lovers, all that."

He continued, "I think that's when I was being introduced to a form of telepathy. Feeling closer to someone even when they're away. 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."

Omarion has been open about his celibacy experience in the past, previously discussing it last summer during a sit-down with the Know Thyself podcast.

"'Do you want to have a career? Or do you want to be out here making babies?'" Omarion said he was asked as a teen.

"And we're like, 'Huh?' You know 15, 16, we're not thinking about that, but it's a real thing."

Omarion has two young children with his ex, Apryl Jones. His new album, O2, is set to be released in 2026.
