What is the Omarion Challenge on TikTok and how did it start?

It all came about when a resurfaced clip of Omarion dancing at Verizon’s ‘Now Playing’ music tour in 2015 popped off again recently on social media.

The R&B star has always been famous for his moves, but fans couldn’t help but share their confusion of his dance moves in the old clip, with many rushing to recreate them.

And from there, the Omarion Challenge began, with Omarion himself even taking to social media to poke fun at the viral clips and even revamped the choreography with his backup dancers.

The ‘Ice Box’ singer took to Instagram with a brand new version of the dance, writing: “Thank you to all of the funny people on the Internet for making this a thing... It was only right. #Jokesonyou.”
