    AllHipHop.com: What scares you the most?

    Omarion: I am not afraid of anything. I walk with a higher power (as a Jehovah’s Witness). If I were to be afraid of anything it would be for my family and friends for their well being more than anything. Those things that are out my power those are things that make me jittery or uncomfortable.

    AllHipHop.com: I can’t get over the fact that you are becoming a Jehovah’s Witness, when will that be official and how will that impact your music?

    Omarion: I go back to when Michael Jackson was a Jehovah witness. It (being a Jehovah’s Witness) will change my approach to music. It will change my representation and I will probably be getting baptized in a year or two. It is an important step for my life.

    AllHipHop.com: Being a Jehovah’s Witness is a lifetime commitment; do you see yourself tapping into gospel music?

    Omarion: Uum…I don’t know about that. I enjoy gospel music. I don’t know if I would step into gospel music, it is kind of cliché.

    I'm guess I'm gonna show my age (and probably whiteness) but who or what is an Omarion?

    Here's the wikipedia page for his brother, Marques Houston. In all of his albums he thanks Jehovah by name and in one of them he talks about seeing his mother in the new system. I don't know if his brother ever got baptized though.

    It's because usually in black culture, critical thinkers are seen as being "too white thinking".

    I wish he would have said more about the gospel music question. He should tell them he can't sing gospel without getting kicked out of his religion.

    How ironic, since it is about the "whitest" religion short of one of the Identity cults.
