The b—h in you: Raz B from B2k cries wolf
Posted by Miss Info under hmmm....? , not good for hip hop , not good for humanity , quotes , relationships and family , videos[34] Comments
hello friends. sorry for the absence of posts! I traded in the web for a few days and substituted in a packed schedule of heavy eating, marathon sleeping, and deep conversation with my sister’s dog, Mookie.
So what did I miss?!
Well, Hov kicked Jada out of the car in the middle of the freeway, and told us all something we already knew.
But besides that….how about that B2k. My sister just said, “I haven’t heard that name in years!” Exactly. So after all that time, maybe I shouldn’t have been surprised to hear the name Raz-B mixed in with words like…youtube….accusation…chris stokes….former manager…”my butt hurts“…showers….ricky romance…11 and 12 years old…”Noah’s Ark.”
Yup, everyone’s least favorite resentful boy band leftover Raz B, appeared on the web, accusing his former manager (and sort of uncle) Chris Stokes of sexually molesting him at the age of 11. And then his brother (and current manager) Ricky Romance backed up the accusation with his own tales of inappropriate showering within the T.U.G. family. (Yes, T.U.G. is the actual name of Chris Stokes’ management group. No, it’s not a confession of guilt.)
Immediately, Chris Stokes (who gives alot of folks that closeted gay vibe. I just passed it off as a Hollywood thing) released a statement denying all the accusations and vowing to sue for slander. Even Omarion stepped up to defend his uncle/manager, saying: “Chris guided us, helped raised us and is… someone I respect and look up to. I have spent countless hours, days, weeks and months with the man — since the age of 5 — and have never once seen him behave inappropriately. He’s married to my aunt, and I know this man very well. I stand behind him with no question whatsoever. These people have damaged me and my reputation.”
But after all of that….
This buster completely backtracks and says this….
I can’t believe I interrupted a family game of bananagrams for that.

First of all, Hello Miss Info. We all saw the last pic of fruity “O” (Omarion) pebbles. Now can you really tell me something anally probing hasn’t been going on for years. Why would a GROWN man voluntarily let everyone know that he’s been molested, if it weren’t true? Most of us would rather stay broke than get the financial gain of the world knowing we been tampered with, in that manner. In saying all that, I definitely believe Raz-B’s claim. And check worldstarhiphop.com, cause Chris Stokes seems to give himself up to Ricky Romance (Raz-B’s brother). Marques and O are gittin’ money with Chris, so they not tryin to give him up (yet).

@5 matthew…crying wolf hurts those folks who really are victims of sexual abuse cuz no one will believe them when they need help.
@4 binary…hmm, that’s interesting…now that I re-watch, I wonder if you’re right. He states his name on camera like he’s reading a ransom note. He doesnt really even finish his sentence….maybe there’s a whole nother level of conspiracy here going on here…..coverup?

There aint no coverup going on here. Raz and his bro were lying and to me it was obvious from the beginning. The tapes they released making these accusations and claiming Chris Stokes was on the phone saying “I don’t do that anymore” was obviously edited and taken out of context because we don’t know what Chris was responding to when he said “i don’t do that anymore” and the convo that carried on after him saying that wasn’t about him molesting anybody, it was about him doing the other dudes mom wrong.

@ yup – I feel you the editing part but on the cool do a little googling and you will find some very gay photos of B2K with only boxers on all in a bed side by side; there are some more photos with the band in a hotel room with Raz & O in their boxers while the other guys are on the bed looking at them perform!?!?
I do think this is money motivated but there is IMO plenty of truth in the claims…
its really sad too

why would a boy who is trying to be tough , want to be associated as the boy who was raped by his own male cousin. he does not look nor his brother look like they are crack addicts .. The boards are on fire. I do not believe he made this up , he can’t even look into the camera …
the reason people don’t come forth with molestation charges is people like you calling them a liar . If you think chris stokes has the gay vibe , then he probably is .
If a woman has been raped by a man it would be hard for her to come forth and painful, but there are many organizations to help with this situation …But same sex rape is usually swept under the rug and it happens to men and women .
raz b i believe you .
and in that silly toure video omarion was looking pretty feminine .
also to add if it is true and this pedophile ring goes all the way up to the top black music moguls , then we got a problem and a lot of money at stake , and i will not be surprised if we start hearing of suicides

oh yeah..by the way..i think there is some truth to it…come one..stokes was on the phone basically admitting to it…and i seen dude…he’s flaming…that doesnt mean he’s a molestor..but he is around a lot of little boys all the time…boy bands an all…a little suspect

you know what too…i bet chris stokes give him a fat check and probably a music deal in the future to do this..bet!

@ hiphopisdead
How was Stokes on the phone admitting to it? When he said he doesn’t do that anymore we have no idea what he was responding to and the converstation that was going on directly after him saying that had nothing to do with Raz-b or touching any boys. They were talking about Stokes treating they mama like shit. So its obvious what he said wasn’t in response to these alligations.

HE IS LYING I BET THEY THREATEND HIM. He sounds like a robot. It doesnt even seem sincere. This is usually how children act after being molested.

This whole situation seem strange, I think there was some funny business going on but since Raz-b changed his tune what can we say but his cousin(Ricky)doesn’t so we’ll see where it goes from there. Either way Cris Stokes is suspect.

If you knew something about someone that was dead serious, you would be a threat to that person and their life. If they had the power to shut you up, they could do it.
Even you Miss Info are not above being pressured to back down.
Real Talk.

I don’t know, he said accusations about M.H. and Stokes, not necessarily what he said Stokes did to him…I agree it sounds like another layer of cover up, cuz in vid one he alleged the same activities may have gone on between Stokes and others, and legally he verges on slander cuz he doesn’t know. However it seems like he put the legal threats to them and he corrected his speech. Aside from that happy holidays to you, and a happy new year. one love to everyone

Ya’ll especially Info must feel stupid now that Raz is missing. Y do ppl immediately come to the conclusion that he is lying because he’s no longer in the limelight. I hope he comes back safely and stokes is brought to justice so all of you with Info in particular can eat your words. Shame on you info for picking sides so early in the game. SHAME ON YOU!!!

“buster”…that shit’s out of order cos NO grown man would lie about being molested. that 30 second bullshit video doesn’t settle shit – you think stokes woulda just said “ok, well he apologised so it’s all good, lets move on”. Nope, if it was bullshit then he’d sue the shit out of him and make a point of saying it’s bullshit. I heard people saying he’s been missing for a couple days now…but I hope that’s not true. Just wanted to say that bashing him down like that is out of order, because there’s OBVIOUSLY more to it.

@k allen….you need to learn how to read. Or at least understand what you’ve read.
I completely sympathize with your painful past, and I am so so sorry that happened to you.
HOWEVER….
there is nothing wrong with being hurt or victimized. That is not the victim’s fault.
But for someone like Raz to claim that they were sexually abused, and then turn around and say that they lied is potentially very very hurtful to other victims of sexual crimes.
How do you not understand that?
Its the same way that when a woman lies about getting raped, it hurts other women who really have been raped because when they speak up, they may get ignored.
Now obviously, if Raz B only took back his confession because someone threatened his life, then that’s a whole different issue. But we don’t know that….so for now, I gotta call it like I see it with what facts we have. And that is Raz’s original accusation, and Raz’s retraction.
You are absolutely right about sexual molestation of children, its seems to destroy all hope and faith in anything. And its a crime that can hurt generation after generation. I hope you were able to break that cycle.
But I stand by my opinion, in defense of anyone who did try to tell someone, only to be dismissed.

Um if u guys had common sense u would put all of the pieces of the puzzle together and see that everything makes sense…. Raz B is telling the truth and he was forced into saying an apology because he was threatened by someone..(hint: Chris Stokes) if u look at the video and listen very closely u could hear someone telling him what to say… i personally dont think hes lying because there is no reason for a grown man to lie about something serious like that… he was most likely brainwashed when he was a member of b2k and back then it wasnt the right time to come out and say it but now is the time and Chris Stokes needs to be payin for what he has done… I mean i dont believe that b2K broke up just for financial issues… clearly there was more to it but thw public did not know.. u have to read between the lines and put the story together.. i recall back on 106 & park when j-boog was talking about it and he said that they were “raped”.. however he didnt mean it literallly..but that was just a clue as to what was really going on… that word is pretty strong and he used it as a reference to financial issues but now we see theres more to the story.. anyways i hope chris stokes gets arrested and taken to trial and gets convicted for what he’s done because there are too many celebrities getting away with crimes.
