[1] In early 2018, J-Boog briefly appeared on an episode of Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood, where he and Lil Fizz discussed plans to reunite the band without Omarion, which failed to happen due to discrepancies with cast member and associate Ray J, who proved himself to be a bold replacement after being considered to join the band.
