Former B2K member Raz B speaks out about B2K break up & much more
Raz-B finally spoke with Hip Hop Weekly’s Contributor Lathleen to answer all the questions that you want to hear. Why did B2K break up? How were you sexual abused and by who? When was the last time you spoke to Omarian? Plus more, his new album, which hits stores on 10/26, his 5-year-old son and his engagement to his finance. Raz-B held absolutely no bars, he is telling the truth, the WHOLE truth, let’s see if you can handle it.
“Shame the Devil and Tell the Truth”
The only thing that interests this former B2K member at this point is telling the truth. “Only the truth shall set you free,” he says. De’Mario Monte Thornton better known, as Raz-B of teen heartthrob group B2K isn’t perfect, he’ll admit it. With a troubled past, an unusual childhood and rumors swirling, he is not afraid to risk his public image to get a long kept message across to the world. Having been mislead by past mentors (Chris Stokes) and feeling forced to sexual interact with him along with other label-mates (Marques Houston), Thornton says “I’m not gay at all,” he continues “I don’t want anyone to feel sympathy for me, I just want some clarity so I can move on with my life.” Now engaged with a five-year-old son Thornton firmly speaks to me when talking about him, “it’s a whole different energy.” The truth and the message is what Thornton refuses to let haunt him. Phoning into Hip Hop Weekly he speaks on every last misconception the public may have, he starts from the very beginning:
Why did B2K Break Up?
What I remember from B2K — the foundation was built on a lot of lies, and a lot of intimidation, manipulation and a lot of bad motives and intentions but not from us because we were young children, we were pure we were innocent, and the bible talks about children a lot about being pure and people misleading children, and when you’re young and you have a dream it’s very easy to get caught up by someone that you look up to as a father figure, so what we felt — there was a lot of division amongst the group because there would be different side relationships going on and division ultimately broke the group up.
But we really got close on our last tour, when we were on the bus and Omarian leaned over and said “I know that’s your cousin but I think that nigga be stealing money from us,” (referring to Chris Stokes) and he’s admitted this to us before. So when that broke, that was a bonding moment for us — cause it was mutual.
We always knew Omarian would go solo, it was never no jealousy, I know Fizz got a solo deal first, and then Chris started to bring the division to the group. There’s more that I really can’t talk about, but I’m going to save it for my book.
