On July 12, 2023, The OMG Girlz officially reunited as a group. They announced the release date of their long awaited single Lover Boy.
Prior to the group's debut, Zonnique Jailee Pullins (daughter of Tameka "Tiny" Harris then Cottle) was a member of the duo group QT Posse with QT Jazz. QT Posse later disbanded and OMG Girlz was formed. This new group consisted of four members Zonnique "Star" Pullins, sisters Bahja "Beauty" and Lourdes "Lolo" Rodriguez, and Reginae "Baby" Carter whose parents were all close friends with Zonnique's mother.[3][4]

This tour helped the group get 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 & Clifford "T.I.P" Harris). The following year on February 28, 2012, "Gucci This (Gucci That)" was released as their first official single under Interscope/Streamline Records, available for public download.[7] On April 28, 2012, it peaked at No. 59 on two of Billboard's charts R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay[8] for 10 weeks and Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs[9] for 13 weeks.
