Raz-B plans to release a tell-all book later this year entitled, This Boy?s Life, where he?details?claims he was once molested by his cousin/manager?Chris Stokes?during the years he was with B2K.
Thornton released videos back in 2007?where Stokes is recorded admitting to the molestation (WATCH), but after he reportedly?received a cash payment of $10,000, Raz B made another video retracting his previous statements.
In his upcoming memoirs, Raz B makes additional allegations of forced orgies between he and the other members of B2k.
Thornton also also alleges fellow artists like Bow Wow and Chris Brown were involved with sexual relationships with members of the band!
So to be clear, it’s not like we ever really doubted Raz B. That is… until he began to mix spilling the beans with building his bank account.
Last year when Bishop Eddie Long was going through his much publicized sexual misconduct case, Raz B returned to the scene with a new video (WATCH) where he was calling out Long, Stokes and Marques Houston as “Pediphiles” that were going to “burn in Hell”.
He also released yet another video where he went into even more graphic detail about the abuse he received.
According to his soon to be released memoirs, World Star Hip Hop ?was paying him $3,000 for each video he released during that time.
But wait… that’s not all. In excerpts “leaked” from his upcoming book, Raz B details how members of B2k all bumped skins with Bow Wow, Chris Brown and several others.
Bow Wow was younger than all of us, but the record company figured his affiliation with us (B2k) would be great.
I didn?t see it for myself but I was told by Fizz that Bow Wow and he got involved with each other. I didn?t put a lot of stock in it then. It would be a few years until I realize that Fizz wasn?t lying.
In 2005 Bow Wow and Omari became ?inseparable?. It wasn?t until rumors forced Bow Wow to end the relationships. The gay talk was hurting Bow Wow?s business.
Ray J was cool at first. I was under the impression that he wanted to help me. But just like with Whitney (Houston) he was just looking for someone to use. Ray J said that he was mad about how Chris did us and other artist, but Ray J just wanted airtime.
Ray J made a diss song about Chris being gay, but that?s the kettle calling the pot black.
They say you never know who knows who. Chris Brown didn?t think about that when he attacked me online.? I have a friend that?s very close to Chris? camp who told me that Chris was involved with an up and coming songwriter Andre Merritt. So when? Chris started going in calling people ?gay? and ?fags? I just dropped Andre Merritt?s name. I knew it was true when he decided to shut up.
Chris Brown wasted no time responding to Raz-B’s allegations, posting (then deleting) the following via twitter:
There’s a whole lot going on in those allegations and I’m sure Raz-B’s book will be a best-seller!
I honestly believe that Raz-B was molested… no if’s ands or buts about it BUT sometimes it’s hard to believe someone who’s motivation is money (he took $10,000 to retract his first statement, he took $3,000 per video from worldstarhiphop, each time he made a “confession”).
Is Raz-B being honest or is it all about the dollar bill?
