OMG (initialism of "Officially Miss Guided ") was an American teenage girl group, initially known as The OMG Girlz. Their name is play on words; it represents being young ladies "Miss" that are "Guided" in positive ways. Formed in 2009, by Tameka "Tiny" Cottle, the Atlanta-based girl group performed publicly for the first time on an episode of BET's Tiny and Toya reality television series. They also have made appearances on the 2012 series T.I. and Tiny: The Family Hustle. Their mission was to inspire throughout the world and let them know they could stand together as friends, teens, and young women. Their singles "Can't Stop Loving You", "Where the Boys at", and "Gucci This (Gucci That)" have been their most famous singles with an estimate of 8 million views on Soundcloud and YouTube. In 2015, the girls announced that they would no longer pursue a career as a trio.
Prior to the group's debut, Zonnique "Star" Pullins was a member of the duo QT Posse, with QT Jazz. Shortly after the release of their first single "Ain't Nobody" in 2010, Reginae "Baby Carter" Carter, daughter of rapper Lil Wayne and Toya Carter, departed from the group. A few months later, the OMG Girlz' second single, "Haterz" (stylised as H.A.T.E.R.Z) was released. OMG later performed the single on Good Day Atlanta. The group downsized once more after Lourdes "Lolo" Rodriguez, sister of Bahja Rodriguez, left the group, given her young age. Bahja was also known as the lead singer of the group. 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".
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).
