Omarion and Marques Houston are two popular R&B singers who have been in the music industry for decades. They have also collaborated on several projects, such as the movie You Got Served and the production company Franchise Boys. But are they related by blood or by marriage? This article will explore the facts and debunk the myths about their relationship.

One of the most persistent rumors about Omarion and Marques Houston is that they are half-brothers. This claim is based on the fact that they were both managed by Chris Stokes, who is also Houston’s cousin. Stokes was the manager of IMx, the group that Houston was a part of, and B2K, the group that Omarion was the frontman of. However, there is no evidence that Stokes is related to Omarion in any way.
According to National Today, Houston was born to parents Michael and Caroly Houston on August 4, 1981. He has two siblings, Brandye and Daniel Houston. According to Oldest.Org, Omarion has six siblings, including Amira, Ukil, Arielle, Kira, Tymon Grandberry, and O’Ryan Browner. Neither of them has mentioned having a half-brother in their family.
In fact, Omarion and Houston have denied being related by blood in the past. In a 2018 tweet by @danikwateng, they were seen together and the caption read: “In retrospect… it was really weird that Omarion and Marques Houston faked like they were half brothers”. Omarion replied to the tweet with a laughing emoji and wrote: “We never said we were half brothers lol”. Houston also responded with a laughing emoji and wrote: “Never said that lol”.
Another rumor that has circulated online is that Omarion and Marques Houston are related by marriage. This is because Houston married a 22-year-old woman named Miya Dickey in 2020, who refers to Stokes as her “dad”. Some people speculated that Dickey was Omarion’s sister or niece, making Houston his brother-in-law or uncle.
However, this is also not true. Dickey is not biologically related to Omarion or Stokes. She is an orphan who was adopted by Stokes’ family when she was a teenager. She considers Stokes as her father figure and calls him “dad” out of respect. She also considers Houston as her brother before they started dating in 2018.
Dickey explained her relationship with Stokes and Houston in an Instagram post in 2020. She wrote: “Let me just address this right now… I met Chris Stokes when I was 18 years old… He became a father figure to me because I never had one… He took me under his wing… He introduced me to Marques who was like a brother to me… We never dated in the past… We didn’t start dating until years later after I had already moved out of Chris’s house.”
Therefore, Omarion and Marques Houston are not related by marriage either.

The only true relationship that Omarion and Marques Houston have is friendship and business partnership.

They have also formed a production company called Franchise Boys with Stokes, which produces movies and TV shows.
Omarion and Houston have expressed their admiration and respect for each other on several occasions. They have also supported each other through their personal and professional challenges. They call themselves brothers because they are very close, but not because they are related.
Conclusion
Omarion and Marques Houston are not related by blood or by marriage. They are longtime friends and business partners who have collaborated on several projects. They call themselves brothers because they are very close, but not because they are related. The rumors about their relationship are based on false assumptions and misinformation.
