I Take It Back!
Filed under: Music MinuteNow that he got as much publicity out of it that he could….
That former member of B2K is recanting the rape allegations he made against the group's former manager.
How the hell could you recant something you said on tape????

BS For Real…I don't believe it at all. He can't have been lying….why would he lie about getting did in the booty? If the tapes were leaked why would he say they were untrue? Lies and Deceit.
for gods sake
He was obviously forced too.. Its soo staged.. Chris Stokes is a monster!! ..
…so he decided to take the $$$$$$$ instead…
first!
You can't just take something like that back.
OH MY ?!
he's A DOUCHE BAG
wtf
I think it is for real but he is getting a lil payment to say 'oh me and my brother weren't molested'. Everyone recants once they are paid off….. Let's play the violin.
45th
its TOO big to be not true
my bet is that he got paid loads of money
nope i still believe something happened..he must be getting paid CRAZY! money to recant this statement!..MONEY TALKS!!..lol..unless he is really psychotic so he made it up for no reason, i doubt it
what the heck??
Too bad.. OMARION is having a concert here in TORONTO TONITE.. and I was going to interview him asn ask for his view.. lucky bastard ..!! They all are scared of Chris Stokes.. We should support Ras B… doesnt it look like he is looking into another camera? So 2 cameras on him? How staged is that? They look like they've ambushed him at his house.. and forced him to do this bullshit.. we all know its true!! CHRIS STOKES IS A PEDO!!
stupid ass
common we alll know they were fucking each other anyway.
hahahah
I dunno Perez. Stanger things have happened. Have a great 2008 P-Nasty.
RIP Oscar Peterson. Piano God. God bless your heart.
This is just wrong. He should not be playing around with such serious allegations. There are a lot of young kids who get harassed and this may have motivated some of them to step up and confront their abusers. To have someone make up such a story for as a mere publicity stunt is beyond sick. If his allegations are true, then he should not go and deny them. Either way, he needs to set the record straight, and not with some youtube video. These guys totally lost my respect.
i think he's had some "persuasion" that lead him to recant his statements.
he prob knows he has to take back what he said or die.
i doubt he was paid off. noone sits there and plans to confess along w/ their brother that they were molested and then says– oops. just kidding.
how sad. raz-b has been twice used.
I don't know - it is common psychological behavior for a victim of sexual assault to recant the story once it is public. I believe his original report. He is likely panicking over the public release of this information.
sounds like someone got the right amount of money they were lookin for to STFU…..
He is lying. Chris Stokes is a homosexual pedophile. They paid Raz B hush money or shall I say recant money.
I don't know if hes lying but i heard chris stokes gets down and freaky with lil boys, even it its not raz b. I don't know those little boys are weird…who cares! raz b is dumb he needs to stop switching his story and make a more professional video coming out about this…like honestly who rolls a blunt while they are filming, your not street or hood, you were in b2k and we cant forgive you forthat.
I still think it happened. I think he's just folding under the pressure, Stokes is his cousin after all. Something about that whole situation has never seemed right.
I believe eventually this will all come out in the wash and we will learn he was threatened somehow and that is why he recanted the story.
What? How can you say something like that and then say it was all a lie. I thought he or his brother rang Chris Stokes accusing him of rape etc on the phone and Chris said something like "I aint like that no mo'" Isnt that confirming that he did it. Or was that someone pretending to be Chris Stokes…weird.
seems fake to me.. probably did it just to get money or because those fucking assholes didn't like how to the truth came out.. cause on the past videos he did chris even admitted to have stopped doing all that and that he's changed. It's fucking bullshit
i'm sorry, this tape is SO rehearsed. to the point where i don't think he was paid, i think he was threatened. he looks mad nervous, and he is not talking with the same cnfidence as the last one. the lats tape he was talking like a person telling the truth. this one, he sounds like he's repeating what he was told to say.
Perez you're an idiot!!! This kid was not trying to milk this for "publicity" — how dumb is that?! He clearly was telling the truth the first time and has been persuaded to change his story. It was either hush money or threats. Its OBVIOUS.
ARE U SERIOUS!!!! I mean lets keep it real, if you ask me the fact the he cant even look into the camera should be enough to know its not real people. This is a " shutup and recant, and we will give you hush hush money" story. I mean all the members of that group looked "touched" by someone. There are millions of kids who are aboused daily, this isnt something to lie about!!!!
Is it just me or does he look EXTREMELY nervous in this video!?! Almost as if someone is pointing a gun at him or something. Chris Stokes Wiki page is locked too because someone was posting things like "pedo" on it. The whole thing is a shame and I hope he come back and recants what he recanted!!! Love you P Hizzle fo' Shizzle!!!
SOMETHING IS WRONG HERE….HE IS LYING AND COVERING FOR CHRIS NOW…WHY? WHY NOW…? I DONT BELIEVE HIM…HE DOESNT JUST MAKE SHIT UP OUT OF THE AIR AND THEN HAVE HIS CUZ KNOW WHAT HES TALKIN ABOUT AND EVERYTHING..HE SHOULDNT HAVE TO FEEL THREATENED OR ASHAMED AT ALL ABOUT IT..
I don't know this guy but … ASSHOLE !
He wouldn't be the first victim to recant something that's true. I really think it takes a lot for a person to admit something like that and be willing to confront their abuser. The statue of limitations for such an act may have even run out and his manager may never pay for his actions. But still, to go through that may make one feel as if something absolutely has to be said. There were a million other ways to get publicity if this is what it was all about. I think someone just told him to think of his career and what he was up against, to get over it privately, and take some sort of pay off or deal. I have to say, just the thought of such an act is so sickening. I refused to watch the youtube video and hear any details. It is a horrible vile act and its just not right. He needs a real support system because one day his ex-manager will pick up another boy group………then what?
He loves it in the ass. He, like Perez, can't get enough cock in his ass.
Well I just heard an exclusive interview on my local radio station here in Sacramento Ca. Raz brother (who also made the alligations) called frantic saying that Raz B was forced into making that statement. The brother says that the original allegations were true because he was there. He saw it and was also a victim of it. He says that he has received death threats but will not back down like his brother. He is concerned about his brother Raz B because he says his brother was force into making the apology and it has been 24hours since he spoke to Raz B and that is unusual. No one knows where he is. He is concerned and pisse off that his brother back down out of fear. Raz B's brother said he will NOT back down and he wants to go on Oprah and Larry King to tell his story. He was really upset. Sounds like this aint over…..
Selling out his soul for hush money? WOW! wat a disgrace! many people had his back, now whether or not he's lying or being honest about it in the 1st place, no one believes the boy who cried wolf, so Raz "GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER!" I dont have time for that bullshit if it's fake. And if he lied then he deserves to be sued for slander, but I still think Chrish Stokes is a little fishy! There's something that's not right about him. Did anyone see Marques Houston's uncut video for Naked? What Director/Manager wants to see their MALE artist completely naked???? CHRIS that's who!
loser
chris stokes probably got some of his friends to threaten his life. kind of like suge knight did to people. sorry, but i believe that chris stokes is a sick fuck. hopefully nobody will let their kids around him ever again.
Im so happy yall realize how FAKE this vid is.. such a set up.. seriously.. he is still a young guy confused.. he was threaten by Chris before. and he is again.. like something heeds to stop here..PEREZ SUPPORT RAS B.. SUPPORT ALL THE CHILDREN WHO GET MOLESTED.. U HAVE THE POWER TO DO SOMETHING.. !!!

Perez? Do you know what recant means? There is no reason why you can't recant something said on tape. When you recant something, you don't deny you said it, you just retract the statement.
Just a sad little has been boy band trying to get some publicity. Next thing you know Jamie Lynn Spears will recant her pregnancy!
Re: Lele –
Lele!!! Are you serious about what you heard on the radio, or f*cking with us???! This is CRAZY!!!! OMG I really feel so bad for these boys. They do need to go on Oprah and expose this scumbag.
BTW everyone else: Pedophilia is NOT the same thing as homosexuality. The majority of pedophiles consider themselves heterosexual. Also, as a gay man, the last thing I want is baby-d*ck (like that nasty Danny Bonaducci). "I needs me a man!" I'd rather have a full-size BIG one (and I'm a top!)
It is obvious that CHRIS STROKES has threatened him. No one makes up those kind of allegations with such emotion, and pain and then says it's not true. Christ Strokes, we all know the truth. You violated this boy and others. Just remember that hell is hotter than an R&B hit. Watch out!
i feel bad for these guys. i totally believe they were all molested. its sad.
poor guy. he was threatened for sure.
TEAM RAZ B! nancy grace report this!
TEAM RAZ B! nancy grace report this!
TEAM RAZ B! nancy grace report this!
TEAM RAZ B! nancy grace report this!
TEAM RAZ B! nancy grace report this!
He was paid off, but Chris Stokes is still being investigated by LAPD, lets see what happens.
FIRST OF ALL RAZ B IS NOT LYING.
CHRIS STOKES HAS PAID HIM OFF TO MAKE A STATEMENT. I HOPE RAZ B REALIZES THAT 100,000 OTHER LIL BOYS JUST LOST A VOICE.
THE WORLD WAS ROUTING FOR YOU RAZ B….WHY BACK OUT NOW…I'M SURE PEOPLE WOULD DONATE LEGAL FEES TO HELP BRING THAT NASTY MOLESTER CHRIS STOKES DOWN.
SOMETHING TELLS ME OMARION AND BOW WOW GOT TO YOU AND SAID IT WOULD AFFECT THERE ALBUM SALES,… F THEM.
ANYWAY… IT'S TOO LATE THE WORLD ALREADY KNOWS ABOUT CHRIS STOKES. YOU ALREADY POSTED SOLID EVIDENCE.
YOU STILL GOT MY SUPPORT IF YOU DECIDE TO GO THROUGH WITH LEGAL ACTIONS.
I love how these people think that the public is stupid. Oh, okay so, you weren't raped now? I totally believe it. Thanks for the clarification, we'll forget this whole thing happened. NOT. Jackasses….
They can give the Oprah dream up. It's not happening…Oprah's not having so knuckleheads on her show. She doesn't like rap or anything even remotley close. They may want to try for Tyra Banks instead. That's more up their alley…
I feel so bad for them.
They were obviously molested.
WHY WOULD ANYONE WANT TO BE FAMOUS???
EVERY FAMOUS PERSON IS MISERABLE.
hes not even looking @ the camera when he's talking…so he must be lying…..i think it really did happen…guess he got paid well to lie..sucks
THEY ARE PUTTING PRESSURE ON HIM…HE HAS EVERYONE AGAINST HIM ESPECIALLY OGAYLORDION….THE TRUTH HAS ALREADY BEEN RELEASED…WE DONT BELIEVE THIS!!OH YES I SPEAK FOR EVERYONE..
can u just renig like that!?!?! i doubt this apology video is true at alll. i wish he would have left god out of it though since he just made himself like asshole of the year for thinking we are seriously gonna belive this bs. I hope authorities still look into the pedo and charges are brought against him regardless of the flake raz b.
He was paid off, and told to recant the whole story…..
Re: Supernova – Being a homosexual and a pedophile are two COMPLETELY different things!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
that is the worst public apology I have ever seen in my life.
I think he was paid to take it all back.
i think he got PAID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! poor thing, cant be that bad on the money side huh?
Weird how the apology was released on YouTube just like the "Leaked" videos. Why not release a statement to the public if the tapes were released without his consent?
This is a horrible tragedy. I'm afraid the ending of all of this will not be nice. This guy can't show his face anywhere anymore cause pedophiles LIKE CHRIS STOKES usally do not operate alone and therefor have lots of power.
My heart prayers and sympathy goes out to Ras B cause he obviously is now a lost young man. Keep strong Ras. The truth will set you free.
Raz_b is so gay and fine indeed. I saw him on blackplanet and he wasn't looking for girls. So
chris stokes did that shit. period.
This reminds me of what River Phoenix was saying when he was alive.. about how he lost his virginity at age 4 because of the cult his parents were in. He tried to take it back, but everyone knew the truth.
Raz B is obviously hiding the truth.. too sad.
looks like the got him at his house and made him do that. you can hear someone feeding him the lines. I know Raz ain't drive no big ass black SUV with chrome rims… that must be Stokes' car. I believe it now, more than ever. Not only that.. but if Raz were to film his own video, don't you think he would have done it inside his house like the others.. and not "oh, I think I'll go outside today and film it, we have lovely weather". My ass! That kid was bribed some how… legally, financially….some way. And I bet they physically tried to get at him, so he brought it outside the house away from his kids. Chris Stokes is a dirt.
he is faking it!!! he cant even look into the eye of the camera and..yea its just all fake..boy got raped and they payed him to take it back
How odd that Chris Stokes releases a statement earlier stating .."I'm happy that DeMario 'Raz-B' Thornton and Ricardo Thornton realized their mistakes and admitted to lying," he said. "I have always supported my family and have always been a stand-up person. I knew that the truth would eventually come to light."…found this on mtv. When did Ricardo recant?
Why has none of the former members of B2K, IMX, or Immature said anything about this? If someone just made up something like this, wouldn't you be in front of the first microphone saying it was false? They know he is not making this up and are scared for their careers. The silence of all of them speakes volumes to the validity of what Raz B said. Marques Houston's sister and dad are even on the phone talking about this, and his dad said he believed Raz B. If I was Marques I would be holding a press conference, saying it was not true. Something is not right with this.
This apology was forced. Turn up the volume on that video. You can hear some one telling him what to say. Raz looks scared in that video, he can't even face the camera. You can't tell me that he wasn't threatened and Raz has a son too that he said he would die for in the original video! If he ends up disappearing that will seal the deal for me. This whole situation is scary and shady!!!
This is so F*cked up !!!!!! It does look like he was paid off, there can be no going back from what he said can there ???
They probably didn't even pay him. Wouldn't he look more happy if they did. I bet he collected nothing but a tripple asswoopin (obvious pun intented) and a beatdown after CHRIS STOKES videotaped that. Karma is gonna get you STOKES!
Also if y'all listen to the apology Raz B is apologizing for what he said about Chris Stokes AND Marques Houston's RELATIONSHIP. So he's recanting his statements about THEM not what he said about Chris Stokes molesting him. So I still believe Raz.
THIS GOES HIGHER THAN CHRIS STOKES. YES HE WAS STRONG ARMED TO RECANT HIS STATEMENT BUT IT MAY BE A COMBINATION OF STOKES AND DIDDY'S MEN WHO THREATENED HIM AND HIS FAMILY.
CHRIS STOKES IS NOT THE ONLY ONE INVOLVED IN THIS RING OF PEDOPHILES. THERE ARE MANY INVOLVED IN A GROUP TO INITIATE THESE YOUNG GUYS INTO THE INDUSTRY. SOME OF THESE YOUNG BOYS CONTINUE TO BE MANIPULATED AND VIOLATED FOR FAME AND MONEY. OTHER ARE USED AND NEVER HEARD FROM AGAIN.
THIS IS A SICK INDUSTRY AND I HOPE MORE WILL COME FORWARD TO STOP THIS ABUSE.
In other words folks………..He has been paid off to keep his mouth shut. Case closed.
"Sources exclusively tell Bossip that Raz-B's brother just called MTV and told them Raz B was forced by some Compton bloods to read a script provided by Chris Stokes lawyer on video, denying his previous molestation claims.
Chris Stokes paid the bloods to shut Raz-B up but his brother, Ricky Romance, stands by his molestation claims against Stokes. Another source says Raz-B has "been missing for two days".
WHERE WAS THE PERSON WITH THE GUN TO HIS HEAD STANDING TO THE SIDE OF HIM ? SOMEONE GOT TO HIM. HOW MANY IN THE INDUSTRY COULD RAZ B TAKE DOWN.
He seems hesitant to say it didn't happen. Is this guy just looking for some attention or did the shit really happen and he's being paid off? WTF? Rape is rape. I think these allegations should be looked into by law enforcement.
this is not the first time rumours of this sort have come out of the chris stokes camp ;-(
Re: Read Comment #38!! –
Yes, he was on 103.5 the bomb in sacramento this morning. Raz B frequents this area a lot. He has family members that live in the area. I beleive his brother was listenting to the radio when they were discussing it and that is how he happened to call in.
OH MY GOD you CAN hear someone telling him what to say!! Turn it up loud and listen to that shit!!! Well now Chris Stokes is even more of a fucking pussy. He molests kids and then tries to shut them up with threats? That fucking bastard! How dare he try and ruin these kids' lives? Chris Stokes isn't only a dirty disgusting pedophile, but now he's also a fucking pussy!! I can't believe that a gang would do the dirty work of a lying pedophile!!
stupid ass mofo! wants to apologize after Chris Stokes, wants to sue his ass!! He desrves it, never should of opened his mouth, if he didn't want to deal with consequences!!!
I feel bad for him. Those allegations were true. The police need to do whatever it might be to keep this guy safe because he probably ade a lot of enemies for telling the truth. He needs to tell the story so that others in his position can do the same.
He's not even looking at the camera. He knows he doesn't want to say this.
Re: mln – Um, you're delusional. Can you not see that Raz is being forced to do this?
I find it hard 2 b lieve that this guy lied. Theres just to much evidence and i'm not referring toRaz b tape. blogs dated back to 2005 suggest this. Ray j didn't make that song up overnite. He was scared or paid. It saddens me b cause it makes it harder for real victims 2 b blieved. Y don't this chris guy have a adult artist. Whenever michael jackson its always question y he's around kids, so y is this chris? Raz b this was your time 2 b a role model for all the other victims 2 let them know that its okay 2 confront your attacker and its not your fault.

there is a man with a gun behind the camara Chris Stokes is a homo he brain washed these children
His life has been threatened and so have his family's that's why he changed his tune.
I can believe Chris Stokes was messing with those boys I have heard this in forums from some ppl that work in the industry for years. This isn't anything new to gossip about. He messed with all those boy groups he brought to stardom during the years, b2k and immature aka IMX.
HOW THE HELL CAN YOU TAKE IT BACK????
DUH, THREATENED WITH A LAWSUIT
NOT ONLY LAWSUITS, THEY ARE SOME SHADY GUYS IN THE MUSIC BIZ.
I WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED IF HE THREATENED TO HAVE HIM KILLED OR RAPED SOME MORE.
THE DAMAGE IS DONE ANYWAY, THAT WAS THE POINT. EVERYONE KNOWS.
THERE WERE RUMOURS, HE TOLD, STOKES ADMITTED, STOKES THREATENED TO SUE, HE RETRACTED HIS STATEMENTS.
WHY THE HELL WOULD YOU MAKE SOMETHING LIKE THAT UP IF IT WASN'T TRUE, DUH.
This foolio said that it was leaked without his authority. What kind of crap is that? He sure had his mug all in the camera when he was recording!! Is this going to be included in the reality show? This whole situation is soooo embarrassing, and make all involved look shady! (and stupid)!
I don't believe any of it - I think it's all been made up cuz they're mad at Chris Stokes for not getting paid or something. I find it hard to believe that one guy could control a whole group of pre-teen boys into doing what he wanted sexually - especially all at once.
I think the guy who made the allegations is stirring up shit and trying to hide the fact that he is really gay by blaming it on molestation. Didn't he appear on an episode of Noah's Arc - a gay show?
And now that it's blowing up, he's taking it back. what a pussy - he said he wasn't gay - that he was a real man. He's not a man at all but a lying, sewer rat.
Looks like someone got a B$G check in hand! How in the heck to you call family, friends, etc. and tape it…then recant? WTF..is everyone in the industry shady? I hear there are tons of DL anyway, Im sure he wasn't the only young guy pimping himself for fame.
Straight up, if there were nothing to these allegations and Raz B made this shit up, a simple F'ing apology wouldn't cover the damage and Chris Stokes would be suing his ass for slander and and whole heap of money.
You can't go around making lies up and saying "Oops, sorry, I lied and that's the end of it legally. Ask yourself why Chris is just sitting back and doing nothing about the lie….legally. Because the ultimate defense in a slander or libel case is the truth. It doesn't matter that you spread ugly rumors but if they are TRUE there's nothing the other party can do about it. I would be forced to believe that there is some truth to the original allegations and Mr.Stokes would rather just have this go away than challenge it in court because if it could be proven he's a freak he'd loose everything.
Ok so now another site is saying RazB is confirmed to be missing? This is just sooo messy. I don't think he was lying at all.
UM TOO BAD CHRIST STOKES, IN THE ORIGINAL TAPES, SAID "NIGGA IM NOT LIKE THAT ANYMORE…" OR "I DONT DO THAT NO MORE" OR SHIT LIKE THAT. HE CLEARLY ADMITTED TO IT, AND THIS RECANT IS PAID FOR.
but hey, if i was an out of work rapper and got paid to take dat shit back, i'd do it. i think people are smart enough to figure it out anyway. chris stokes is tarnished, recant or not!
he was forced to do this!!!Bless his heart! Chriis Stokes fails to realize that being Gay and married to a woman can happen… it's called a marriage of convience. This really sickens me!! Chris Stoke Child molesting ass is behind this…
So sad. I don't think he'd lie about something like this. He was probably threatened to recant.
