<p>Social media was excited over the prospect of Nia Long and <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/omarion-talks-about-brotherhood-forgiving-his-b2k-group-members-more/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Omarion</a> potentially being an item, though the actress clarified that she&#8217;s &#8220;single AF!&#8221;</p>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">Nia BRIEFLY Grabbed Omarion&#8217;s Hand At Premiere Of <em>You People</em></h3>
<p>The speculation about Nia and Omarion stems from footage of the pair together at the premiere of <em>You People</em>.</p>
<p>Specifically, Omarion uploaded a <a href="https://twitter.com/Omarion/status/1616248503927439361?s=20&;t=X_s8-08TD6Ng6hs2GdsAAQ" target="_blank" rel="noopener">short video</a> of him alongside Nia, and it showed the actress pulling him by the hand for a brief moment.</p>

<p>While the gesture was more of a hand pull, it wasn&#8217;t as egregious as if they were actually holding hands. However, this interaction was enough to spark some fun conversation and humorous reactions on social media!</p>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">Social Media Immediately Reacts To The Speculation</h3>
<p>After Omarion uploaded this clip, people on Twitter started buzzing about the matter.</p>
<p>Many humorously expressed how devastated they were by the prospect of them being together.</p>

<p>It was also speculated that Omarion may have attracted Nia with a particular set of skills, which were put on display with a watermelon during his <em>Verzuz</em>.</p>

<p>Nia&#8217;s <em>The Best Man </em>costar Taye Diggs was also brought up, as he&#8217;s dating Apryl Jones—Omarion&#8217;s ex.</p>

<h3 style="text-align: center;">Aht Aht! Nia Steps Into <em>The Shade Room</em> To Clarify: &#8216;Simmer Down!&#8217;</h3>
<p>With all the buzz about Nia and Omarion, the actress swooped in and clarified that—despite the optics—she&#8217;s actually &#8220;single AF.&#8221; She also straight-up asked for &#8220;everybody to simmer down.&#8221;</p>
<p><amp-instagram data-shortcode="CnpjE0ZBtKF" layout="responsive" width="600" height="600" data-captioned></amp-instagram></p>
<p>So, while Nia and Omarion aren&#8217;t together, at least various Twitter users got to kiki about the celebrities for a quick minute!</p>
<p>Do you think the speculation was unwarranted, or do you think Omarion knew what he was doing by posting video of the interaction?</p>
