Alexander Omar Smith,[1] known professionally as Omar-S, is an electronic music producer from Detroit, Michigan.

Controversies

On November 6th 2023, Supercoolwicked, a female Detroit music artist, alleged on her social media that Omar-S broke a wine glass on her head and further physically assaulted her to the degree that it required three people to pull him off her at Paramita Sound, a club/record store in Detroit, on the evening of November 5th, after she confronted him over unpaid royalties owed to her for over one year.[2][3][4] Both artists have acknowedged that the Detroit Police Department is performing an investigation into the incident.[5]

Shortly thereafter, both John FM and Hitek, who both have releases on Omar S' label FXHE Records, distanced themselves from Smith and condemned his actions via public statements.[6] In the following days, music from both artists released on FXHE was noted to have been removed from streaming platforms.[7][8]
