History

Shortly after the release of their first single "Ain't Nobody" in 2010, former member Reginae Carter, daughter of rapper Lil Wayne and Toya Carter, departed from the group.^[3] A few months later, the OMG Girlz' second single, "Haterz" was released.They also were inspired by a girl group called Girlz Invasion In 2010, the girls released their third single, "Pretty Girl Bag". The single earned national recognition and airplay. The group ranked in over two million views in a mere ten months after releasing the corresponding music video on YouTube. The group downsized once more after Lourdes Rodriguez (Lolo), sister of Bahja Rodriguez, left the group, the reason given was that she was too young.^[4] However, after a well accepted online search, during which time the group’s fourth single "So Official" was released, Breaunna Womack became the group's newest and third member due to finding her on a YouTube video dancing to Beyoncé's song "Ego".^[5]

In 2011, the girls were added to line-up of the Scream Tour: Next Generation, by way of a national contest, which featured Diggy Simmons, Mindless Behavior, Jacob Latimore, Jawan Harris and TK-N-Cash. This tour helped the group gain fans across the country. Their first single as a trio, "Gucci This (Gucci That)" was a featured song on the tour. After the tour was over, in December 2011, The OMG Girlz were signed to Interscope/Streamline Records via Pretty Hustle/Grand Hustle (labels by Tameka "Tiny" Harris & Tip "T.I." Harris).
