Origin: Originated from street and gang culture. Dexerto claims that the primary definition stems from the secondary one, which was derived from a 1991 Naughty by Nature song titled "O.P.P." The initialism was derived from the acronym "OPM," which was used in the neighborhood the group grew up in and stood for "other people's money." An example of the term being used in popular culture is also in the Gangsta Rap scene, with YBN Nahmir and his song "Opp Stoppa". Dictionary.com implies that the origins for the two meanings had little to do with each other.
