OMI
Omir Bernard (born Oct. 21, 2000), better known by his stage name Popp Hunna, is an upcoming artist originating from Northern Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (aka. North Philly). He is best known for being the artist responsible for âAdderall (Corvette Corvette)â, the song that took TikTok by storm in October 2020.
Popp Hunna began his music career by releasing his album One Year Later in January 2020, and promoted music from it on TikTok. The video streaming platform quickly caught on to the track âSingleâ, making this Popp Hunnaâs first viral hit. The wave continued with âAdderall (Corvette Corvette)â making this Popp Hunnaâs second single to take off on TikTok, back in October 2020. The Philadelphia rapper has TikTok user @yvnggprince to thank for the viral dance, which resulted in over 16 million videos featuring the song. âWe didnât think too much of the song when we first made it,â Popp previously said of making the record during an interview with 100.3 RNB. Lil Uzi Vert joined forces with Popp Hunna on the remix of the âAdderall (Corvette Corvette)â in mid-December. The song has been taking off, yet again, since Uzi hopped on the remix.
However, things seemed to have came to a screeching halt when Poppâs paperwork with the police surfaced online.
Reportedly, Popp Hunna witnessed a murder at 14 years old and cooperated with police, giving information on several parties involved. Many rappers chimed in on this revelation, and labeled this as a major violation of the âstreet code.â Among them, was Poppâs new collaborator, Lil Uzi Vert. Uzi requested to be removed from Poppâs Mud Baby EP, where he appears on two songs. The exchange of messages were released online via a screenshot shared to Popp Hunnaâs IG Story, although it has since been removed. Lil Tjay also involved himself in the issue, and said that Hunna had a poor excuse for his actions, stating he was in a similar situation and age isnât a justification for what he did.
However, the very next day after the snitching allegations went viral, and despite what previous DMs may have implied, Popp referenced the âpapersâ in a new IG story, using a rolled-up paper emoji, and calling it âfake.â
While itâs unclear if heâs referring explicitly to the above paperwork allegations or simply to the flurry of news surrounding it, it seems to insinuate that he wonât give up on his career just yet, despite his earlier musings.
