But it’s one sibling in particular that have gotten the eye of many of Omari’s fans, his look-a-like brother Jamil.
While spending some time at the gym with his brother Jamil, they decided to take a picture standing on stairs that have “You thought you were done lol” printed on it.
According to Omari, he and Jamil are “2 bros from the same stomach with the same stomach.”
In another post, Omari shared his love and admiration for Jamil.
“One of the many things that inspire me about you, is the important thing to you is not how many years in your life,” posts Omari on his social media. “…But how much life in your years. You maximize every second and minute of your time, and ALL of the colors that God has given you. You keep the main thing, the main thing, in the important areas of life. Your light shines bright!! This next 365 keep going and glowing inside and out. Big Love and Respect my BrOski!!”

In looking at his social media, it seems as though Jamil has become an incredible father and a great role model for his kid. He has started and run numerous enterprises as a serial entrepreneur.
Jamil has achieved success in a variety of industries, and he frequently exhorts his social media fans to put in extra effort to meet their goals.
Tasha D’Arensbourg, Jamil’s spouse, frequently makes an appearance in Jamil’s Instagram photos, generally with heartfelt messages. The adorable pair frequently exchange public love notes.
Aside from Jamil, Hardwick had another brother and a sister. Unfortunately, he lost both of them.
He made a tweet back in 2014, talking about the huge losses he suffered back to back to back.
“I thought it was ugly losing my son. I thought it was ugly losing my brother at 45 and my sister at 33. All within a 3-year span. Ugly of Hate is,” he wrote.
The actor first lost his son in November of 2008. His wife Jennifer, was seven and a half months pregnant when she delivered their still𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐧 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥.

Hardwick went into depth about his 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥 loss with fellow actor Lance Gross on his podcast.
“The sixth year of my working career as an actor, we were pregnant with my first 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥,” Hardwick says. “Filming [the movie] Dark Blue, lying to the movie Kick Ass so that I could do both — and dealing with the 𝑏𝑎𝑏𝑦 sliding and not doing well. The doctors let us know, you know, that if it were them, they would have aborted and we chose not to. So, just riding that out for months in terms of like, not wanting to go to work and even having somebody secure enough and strong enough at home to say, “No, you have to go to work.” And then it came to a place where we lost the 𝑏𝑎𝑏𝑦. Ironically, the day that we delivered the 𝑏𝑎𝑏𝑦, I was forced to work.”
