    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.

    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.

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!!

    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.

  20. saraht says – reply to this

    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.

  21. aj says – reply to this
    21

    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.

  25. Forest says – reply to this
    25

    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.

  26. aj says – reply to this
    26

    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.

  27. Yvonne says – reply to this
    27

    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.

  28. Jessica says – reply to this
    28

    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

  29. david says – reply to this
    29

    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.

  30. soulstice says – reply to this

    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.

  31. Jay Austin says – reply to this
    31

    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!!!!

  32. TheTruthWillSetYouFree says – reply to this
    32

    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!!!

  33. Jacqueline says – reply to this
    33

    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..

    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?

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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…

    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?

    63

    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.

    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.

    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?

  70. Bret says – reply to this

    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.

  71. Natiera says – reply to this
    71

    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!!!

    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!

  74. Natiera says – reply to this
    74

    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.
