To all the people who have let me know about Omega Psi Phi, thank you. I didn't know. I thought it'd be an innocuous tweet about the KISS frontman (not that Hurts was paying homage to him). Good game by Jalen, right?

To those asking why I didn't delete the original:
Deleting a tweet doesn't educate anyone. It doesn't move a conversation forward. I, along with a bunch of other people, learned something tonight.

desk. Thanks to
@nateburleson
and all the people who've engaged in a productive conversation here.
@heykayadams
is right. Hurts is an overnight sensation.

Learn about Omega Psi Phi. Hurts has posted on his social media about recently joining the fraternity. This not a Gene Simmons thing at all. Take a few minutes to learn about Black culture.

I'm in the process of doing that. I didn't actually think Hurts was letting his inner Kiss fan out. Thanks for the info.

I added a tweet to the thread and QT the original. I didn't know about this and Omega. A lot of people have educated me on it.

I didn't actually mean he was paying homage to Gene Simmons. I didn't know. Thanks for being nice about it.

...that's no Gene Simmons, it's a reference to Omega Psi Phi, the fraternity he just joined. Please Google.

It was a comparison to something it reminded me of. I've certainly learned more about Omega since.

I'd like to think I could outrun Shaq. I'd ask Steve Harvey about the guy on FF who said "q-pine" to the question about things that start with pork.
