Reports of a new COVID-19 variant, Omicron, hit social media on Tuesday, and the internet couldn’t help but swiftly change its name to honor almost everybody’s favorite former B2K member — Omarion. The jokes quickly went flying, proving that Twitter is quick to jump on a joke.
Omarion, who’s currently traveling with Bow Wow, Pretty Ricky, Ashanti, Lloyd and other early 2000s musical favorites as part of the Millennium Tour 2021, has now found his way into the conversation around the new variant.
Here are a few of the hilarious posts from people on Twitter:
