B2K's Raz B on Life-Support. Comatose After Bottle Attack

One of my favorite 90's band...all he was doing was breaking up a fight at one of his shows.
Prayers be with him...

 

Who?

 

Ha, I guess I'm showing my age. He was in a very popular 90's R & B group.

Oh to be young (and pretty) like you to say 'who?' :smt025

 

I hope all is well with him. He's had a fucked up career. From sucking dick to getting fucked in the ass. Now this, Damn. This should have been avoided though. He should have let security do "their" job.

 

Hmmm. Who are you again? Your name is familiar.....

 

That was his manager who raped them, right. He messed up quite a few of those boys' lives. I think he got away with it, too.

 

Yelp. Chris Stokes nasty ass. Along with Marcus Houston from the group Immature/IMx. Raz went in debt how they made him and J Boog suck each others dick, and how MH often sexed him. The things people do for money. Ugggh. Twisted muthafuckas.

 

Oh wow, Marques was in on it? I didn't realize. Someone had to have sexed MH, or was it Stokes himself? Their industry attracts predators, and these kids want fame so bad, they get tricked, coerced, drugged, mistreated and ripped off. Not unlike the movie casting couch.

I remember a reality show on ABC I loved, (I forget the name is was something like Diddy's Making the Band) that chronicled putting a band of white boy-singers together... The guy behind doing that (a grubby, fat white older man, once well-respected in the industry), he also sexually preyed on the cast/band mates. I think he went to jail for it, but has since died, not sure. But yeah, ugh, just ugh!

I remember the group so don't feel old. Very unfortunate, I hope it is in his cards to survive this.

 

UPDATE: Raz B Coma Report Was A Hoax, Manager Says.

Report as of August 19th.

Los Angeles (CNN) -- An online media report that R&B singer De'Mario "Raz B" Thornton was in a coma in China was a hoax, according to his agent.
The R&B singer was hurt in a nightclub brawl near Shanghai, but his injuries were not serious, manager Elayne Rivers told CNN Monday.
"The comments about Raz being in a coma did not come from his official representative," Rivers said.

The singer's brother, who performs under the name Ricky Romance, said in a statement sent to CNN Monday afternoon that he had been "misled by unknown reasons."

"I was unfortunately unable to contact my brother at the time and then panicked," Romance said. "I then alerted as many people of this information hoping to gather facts... Since the source that gave me this information was what I thought to be legitimately reliable I didn't question I just believed. I apologize if I seem like I jumped to conclusions but a coma is a serious situation and it was concerning my brother whom is my best friend as well. I sincerely apologize for the confusion I caused if that is the case."

A celebrity news website first reported the original member of the boy band B2K was in a coma Saturday, identifying its source as Toy Jones.
Although Jones gave CNN the same information Sunday, she declined to give the name of the hospital -- only saying it was in the Zhejiang province near Shanghai.

Several hours later, Jones sent CNN a written statement saying the singer had miraculously recovered from the coma and would be released from the hospital in days. The unedited statement reads: "Doctor says Numerous Brain scans showed that Raz's entire cortex- the parts of the brain that give us consciousness, thought, Memory and understanding is now functioning. Doctors say its a miracle and told his family that he stands a strong chance of survival and no signs of being brain dead for the rest of his life against all odds,Raz woke up this morning and is in stable condition We ask the the fans and media respect our family's privacy".


CNN chose not to report the story until details could be confirmed by the U.S. State Department, officials at the U.S. embassy in China or Chinese officials. Raz B also reached out personally to CNN in an e-mail asking that nothing be published.

Rivers sent a statement distancing the singer from the coma report on Monday.

When CNN asked Jones about the statement, she said "as far as I know it is true" that he was in a coma. She said she was hired by Raz B's family to get the story out to the news media.

Dozens of news agencies around the world -- including in China -- repeated the coma story, giving Raz B more publicity in one weekend than he's likely had since his group disbanded nine years ago.

 

ahh well.... then
I kind of wish I had said that hopefully it is in the cards for me to be a millionaire.
