EXCLUSIVE: FIVE PART SERIES ON THE BREAKUP OF B2K

B2K BREAKUP PART 2
B2K BREAKUP PART 3
B2K BREAKUP PART4
B2K BREAKUP PART 5

I watched these videos and Chris Stokes needs to be straight investigated for all this S$%^ he has put these kids through. Chris Stokes is living off of B2k's money. These videos were taped in February 2007. So you be the judge??

*UPDATE* RICARDO ROMANCE SAIDS "I AINT TAKING BACK S#$%!!!! AND RAZ B MISSING.

Per MTV.COM

“The truce between Raz and Stokes doesn’t appear to have been extended to Ricardo. After MTV reported on the apology, Ricardo told MTV News that he stands by all the original allegations and is not recanting his story. He said he hasn’t spoken to his younger brother in more than a day — which he said was unusual for the siblings and predicted that Raz will “come back around,” suggesting that the apology might not have been his brother’s idea.”

ANDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD............

BOSSIP.com is reporting that

A highly placed source exclusively snitches to 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”.

CHRIS STOKES ISSUES STATEMENT

I was sent THE OFFICIAL CHRIS STOKES STATEMENT ON RAZ B APOLOGY.

CHRIS STOKES OFFICIAL STATEMENT:

"I’m happy that Demario "Raz B" Thorton and Ricardo Thorton realized their mistakes and admitted to lying. I have always supported my family and have always been a stand up person. I knew that the truth would eventually come to light."

Whatever!!!! I still dont believe. Your lip gloss be poppin to much for me to think otherwise.

EXCLUSIVE: RAZ B MAKES APOLOGY AND SAIDS ALL ALLEGATIONS WERE FALSE.

Oh you know this video looked forced. I believe it because it is too much on the internet about Chris Stokes and how he roll on the internet all way back to 2005.
Money Talks and BS walks...best believe it.

UPDATE: OMARION MAKES STATEMENT ABOUT CHRIS STOKES

"I want to be on the record as saying that 'Raz B' Thorton and Ricardo Thorton are lying regarding Chris Stokes," Omarion said via statement. "Chris is a father figure to myself, and many others in the industry. He's guided us, helped raise us and is nothing more than an inspiration and someone I respect and look up to."I have spent countless hours, days, weeks and months with the man since the age of 5 and have never once seen him behave inappropriately," he added. "He's married to my aunt and I know this man very well. I stand behind him with no question whatsoever."Omarion said the accusations are damaging not only to Stokes but to Omarion himself because of the pair's close relationship."I have grown up around Chris and this is crazy to me," he said. "These people have damaged me and my reputation, and I won't stand silent and will do all within my means to speak the truth about this matter."

UPDATE ON CHRIS STOKES AND TUG ENTERTAINMENT

TELL ME THIS AIN'T SUSPECT RIGHT HERE. LOOK AT MARQUES FACE???

Hey yesterday, I was investigating this Chris Stokes thing just to see how the internet was buzzing with this so far. Man.....all I gotta say that thing is burning up the blogs and other media outlets. But I came across this entry from someone that used to work with TUG Entertainment that authored this statement OH NO THEY DIDNT. These are just some interesting quotes from the statement. READ IT IN ITS ENTIRETY HERE.

**UPDATE***

I found more dirt on Chris Stokes from 2006 GO HERE
This has been around alot longer than we thought.

Make sure to take notice of the date of the statement at the top.
It is 2005.

Here are some interesting statements.....

I was there when Beyonce came to Chris and Marques house to kick it with Marques and he referred to kick it with Chris in Chris' bedroom. And B sittin there with LeToya(DC) and Jerome (from IMX) wondering why he won't spend time with her. I remember the times Chris and his sister Smooth would get drunk on tour and start making sexual advances to the same sexes. Chris use to get immature drunk and high. Smooth use to f#$^ the female dancers. Smooth is a freak. My home boy got her on tape drunk 69'n this girl at a party. She also on tape in a threesome with a girl and R. Kelly (this was around the time he did "You Remind Me").

Chris has a knack for signing artists to deals, and taking the budgets(monies) and spending it on himself and his family.That's why you only see a single and one video from most of his acts. I remember the group Gyrl. Taz turned out one of the girls and Marques got another one of them (the lead singer) pregnant. She had the baby by the way.

For Starters......I just found out about a tattoo that all the members of B2K and IMX and CS have on their arms of a global with a bunch of Chinese letters...well apparently the writings translates into each others names.....yeah....you heard right! They have each others names tattoed on each other........ All you die hard IMX / B2K fans....ever notice that tattoo on any of them........ever wonder what it meant......now ya know!

Remember, Quindon? Everyone may be wondering where he is. Well he lives in Texas now and he is a born-again Christian. When he joined his church, he stood up to testify. He told his entire congregation that while his was a young boy being managed by Chris Stokes, Chris used to molest him. He spoke of a "secret group" of them (Marques Houston included) that used to jack each other off and perform oral sex on each other but no penetration.
Let's just start by stating that Chris "Pedophile" Stokes did not start, discover or develop B2K. They didn't meet in a mall like they said. That was Chris' idea so that the REAL story wouldn't come out. Everyone knows how B2K really got started and who put them together because their original managers were already shopping them around to labels. Chris pulled some shady *!@$%&**!@$%&**!@$%&**!@$%&*, went behind the original managers backs and talked their parents into having the boys sign a deal with him ONLY. The parents were looking at the house they were living in (all bought with Marques' Sister Sister dough) and thought that Chris was big time but he wasn't. Chris had already been blackballed in the industry. If you speak to anybody who works in the industry, that isn't affiliated with the TUG cult, they'll tell you that NOBODY like Chris. Some of the parents had their doubts. Jarell's father wasn't cool about it until Chris made a deal with him to get points off the album (that was done on the low of course) Chris has been living off of Marques forever

CHILLLDDD THIS IS A MESS. I REALLY WANT TO SEE HOW CHRIS STOKES HANDLES THIS BECAUSE THOSE LITTLE STATEMENTS AINT DOING A DOGGONE THING ABOUT THIS HERE. HE IS GOING TO HAFT TO COME STRONGER THAN THAT.

YUNG JOC ARRESTED FOR TRYING TO TAKE A GUN ON A PLANE

He's an expert in Hustlenomic$, but Yung Joc would do well to acquaint himself with FAA regulations.
The Grammy-nominated rapper was arrested Sunday morning at Cleveland Hopkins International Airpot after trying to board a Delta flight to Atlanta with a loaded gun in his carry-on bag, according to police.
Joc, whose real name is Jasiel Robinson, was charged Monday with carrying a concealed weapon, a third-degree felony, and could also face a federal charge. He is currently free on a $50,000 bond and his arraignment has been scheduled for Wednesday in Cleveland Municipal Court.
Authorities said that Joc was stopped during the routine airport security check when employees discovered a semiautomatic handgun and ammunition in his bag. The "It's Goin' Down" rapper said that he didn't know the weapon was in there.
He was questioned and arrested without incident, airport commissioner Fred Szabo said.

SO JAY-Z WILL NO LONGER BE PRESIDENT OF DEF JAM

Shawn "Jay-Z" Carter said Monday that he will leave his post as president of Universal Music Group's Def Jam Records label after his contract expires this year.
The rapper, who was named Def Jam president three years ago, said in a statement that it is "time for me to take on new challenges."
He will continue to release his own music through his record label, Roc-A-Fella/Def Jam after his contract expires Dec. 31. (Universal is owned by French media giant Vivendi (VIVEF).)
Antonio "L.A." Reid, chairman and CEO of Island Def Jam Music Group, said the label regrets Carter's decision to move on.
"While he will continue to be one of our signature artists, he will nonetheless be missed in this executive capacity," Reid said in a statement.
Carter took over Def Jam in December 2004 in an incentive-laden deal that was reportedly valued at up to $10 million. His appointment followed the exit of Lyor Cohen, who departed to be chief executive of Warner Music Group.

EXCLUSIVE: RAZ B SAIDS CHRIS STOKES A MOLESTER???????

Chris Stokes (producer) has been under quite a bit of speculation in the music industry concerning molesting children. Nothing really to go on or convict him of until now.Former member of B2K, Raz-B and older brother Ricky Romance are being so BrAvE by coming forward and stating that Stokes molested both of them. They believe that the other members of the hip hop band were also molested including Marquesm Houston.Raz-B is confessing this horrible event to Marques Houston's sister on this youtube video. The reason we're being told, is because he's on a spiritual journey and part of that path includes coming clean with bad things that may have happened in his life.

Watch the clip.
Watch the clip 2.

STATEMENT FROM CHRIS STOKES:

Below please find a statement from Chris Stokes regarding the false accusations made by Demario “Raz B” Thorton and Ricardo Thorton. “The accusations that Demario “Raz B” Thorton and Ricardo Thorton have made are vehemently false and hold no merit. I have recently stopped financially supporting both individuals along with assisting them with their criminal and legal matters which leads me to believe they are resentful and looking to benefit financially from this. My family is my first priority and the reason why I have been so supportive of them. In bringing these false claims, they have not only slandered me, they have also put me in a position to ensure that the truth is known and I will take all legal routes to protect myself, my family and my four children," said Chris Stokes, CEO of The Ultimate Group. "It’s also quite ironic that these statements were made only 2 weeks after they were denied admittance by a venue for an event I hosted in Beverly Hills," added Stokes.

R KELLY SHOWS UP FOR TRIAL AVOIDS ARREST

R. Kelly avoided arrest Thursday by appearing in a Chicago court for a hearing in his child pornography case.
A warrant for the R&B superstar was entered Wednesday after he missed a scheduled appearance. Kelly's lawyer said his tour bus was stopped by police in Utah after a log showed the driver hadn't had enough rest, causing Kelly to miss the 9 a.m. hearing.
Kelly is in the midst of a prolonged legal fight after prosecutors say he allegedly videotaped sex acts with a teenage girl. He has pleaded not guilty. A judge is expected to set a trial date during Kelly's Thursday appearance.

QUEEN COLLECTION FOR COVERGIRL - A REVIEW

COVERGIRL NATURAL HUE COMPACT FOUNDATION
Preferred 2 to 1 over the leading department store compact for a silky, smooth finish.

The foundation for the Queen Collection is very smooth. I personally forgot that I had it on until I missed and rubbed my face. This is the type of makeup any woman would want. Foundation is really not to be seen. It is supposed to blend in and enhance your natural color. No one wants what I called the CAKEY FACE or your neck one color and your face another. With the Queen Collection foundation, there are so many colors that there is no excuse for you not to get the right one.

COVER GIRL QUEEN LIP GLOSS
Our high-shine lip gloss is always gorgeous - and never sticky. Richly-pigmented formula feels like a balm, gliding on smoothly and evenly for lasting loveliness.

I LOVE THIS LIPGLOSS. It is so glossy and it kept my lips moisturized. I didn't haft to keep reapplying to my lips. And you know what, it didnt TASTE bad either. It has this cocoa chocolate taste.

QUEEN COLLECTION VOLUME MASCARA
Helps build beautiful, thick, separated lashes with no clumping or spiking.

This is the best mascara I have ever tried. I already have very long eyelashes and this mascara gives them just the volume they need. It didnt create a mess clumps on my eyelashes. And that is the number one thing I look for. Whatever event I went to I was constantly getting compliments about my eyelashes.

ANTM SALIESHA SCANDAL...WAS SHE ALREADY A MODEL BEFORE ANTM

It was made clear in the season opener that Saleisha attended Tyra's T- Zone camp for underprivileged girls when she was 14. However, it was not made known to viewers that the two extended their friendship beyond that experience.
Following her win on Tuesday, footage of Saleisha working the runway in an "ANTM" Cycle 6 fashion show began surfacing on the Internet, reports E! Online. Also, fans found video of the model hopeful appearing on the catwalk in an episode of "The Tyra Banks Show," the Web site reports.
Viewers also found that Saleisha had appeared in a nationwide Wendy's commercial that aired in 2006, seemingly in violation of an "America's Next Top Model" eligibility rule that states would-be contestants "must not have previous experience as a model in a national campaign within the last five years (including, but not limited to, appearances on television and print advertisements)," E! reports.
In response, the CW issued a statement saying that Saleisha did disclose her participation in the Wendy's spot, but "after reviewing the commercial, it was determined that her appearance did not amount to 'modeling' experience, and therefore did not exclude her from participating in the show."

SALEISHA COOPER IS AMERICA'S NEXT TOP MODEL

Saleisha Cooper was crowned America's Next Top Model's ninth-season champ during last night's finale broadcast of The CW reality competition series.

"When I was younger I was just weird. I had low self esteem. I just wasn't happy with my life," said Saleisha after her she was revealed to be the winner. "I've grown into a strong young woman. I'm so happy with myself right now. This is what I dreamed of. I fought for this so hard and I was so determined. I have it now and I'm not going to let it slip out."

For winning Top Model, the 21-year-old receptionist from Los Angeles, CA received the show's grand prize package of a management deal with Elite Model Management; a $100,000 contract with cosmetics company CoverGirl; and a cover story and six-page fashion spread in an issue of Seventeen magazine.
Saleisha defeated Chantal Jones, a 19-year-old student from Austin, TX, who was Top Model 9's runner-up.

IKE TURNER DIES AT AGE 76

Ike Turner, whose role as one of rock's critical architects was overshadowed by his ogrelike image as the man who brutally abused former wife and icon Tina Turner, died Wednesday at his home in suburban San Diego. He was 76. "He did pass away this morning" at his home in San Marcos, in northern San Diego County, said Scott M. Hanover of Thrill Entertainment Group, which managed Turner's musical career.There was no immediate word on the cause of death, which was first reported by celebrity Web site TMZ.com.Turner managed to rehabilitate his image somewhat in his later years, touring around the globe with his band the Kings of Rhythm and drawing critical acclaim for his work.He won a Grammy in 2007 in the traditional blues album category for "Risin' With the Blues."But his image is forever identified as the drug-addicted, wife-abusing husband of Tina Turner. He was hauntingly portrayed by Laurence Fishburne in the movie "What's Love Got To Do With It," based on Tina Turner's autobiography.In a 2001 interview with The Associated Press, Turner denied his ex-wife's claims of abuse and expressed frustration that he had been demonized in the media, adding that his historic role in rock's beginnings had been ignored.

"You can go ask Snoop Dogg or Eminem, you can ask the Rolling Stones or (Eric) Clapton, or you can ask anybody -- anybody, they all know my contribution to music, but it hasn't been in print about what I've done or what I've contributed until now," he said.

TERRENCE HOWARD JOINS THE BROADWAY CAST OF " A CAT ON A HOT TIN ROOF"

Terrence Howard will make his stage debut in Debbie Allen's Broadway revival of "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof," the first production led by an all-black cast to be authorized by playwright Tennessee Williams' estate.

Tony-winning trio James Earl Jones, Phylicia Rashad and "Dreamgirls" actress Anika Noni Rose also star in the latest version of Williams' Pulitzer Prize-winning Southern drama, which is set to open March 6 at New York's Broadhurst Theatre.

Howard will play the haunted, alcoholic Brick, a former football player who rebuffs the advances of his wife, Maggie (Rose), and faces a tortured relationship with his domineering father, Big Daddy (Jones). Rashad plays Big Mama. The other two main roles in the dysfunctional family still are being cast.

Preview performances begin February 12.

RIHANNA ORDERED ON BEDREST

Perhaps Rihanna was caught out in that London rain without her umbrella.
The 19-year-old Barbados native has been forced to cancel three U.K. gigs on the advice of her doctor, who wants the "Shut Up and Drive" singer to slow down for a few days.
Saturday's show in Nottingham, England, was the first casualty, with concerts Monday in Birmingham and Tuesday in Bournemouth the next to be crossed off her schedule.
Rihanna said that she "appreciates the love and support of all her fans and wants nothing more than to see and connect with them," according to a statement released by Birmingham's NEC Arena, where she was scheduled to perform.
Disappointed fans have been asked to hold onto their tickets until further news is available. As of now, Rihanna is still planning to "Pon de Replay" Thursday in Newcastle.
While her camp hasn't disclosed what's ailing Rihanna, we know she isn't suffering from a lack of kudos.
The platinum-selling artist, whose European tour kicked off last month in Paris and wraps up Dec. 21 in Moscow, arose Thursday to learn that she had been nominated for six Grammy Awards, including Song and Record of the Year for "Umbrella," that catchy little collaboration with Jay-Z from her third studio album, Good Girl Gone Bad.

STEVE HARVEY SUED BY EX WIFE

The ex-wife of comedian Steve Harvey claims that she was conned into a quickie divorce engineered by the entertainer and his lawyer, who allegedly sought to keep private details about the star's adultery, poor and neglectful parenting, and "physical and mental abuse" of his ex-spouse. In a lawsuit filed against her ex-lawyer, Mary Harvey claims that she was defrauded by the comedian and the couple's longtime attorney, who represented both sides in their November 2005 divorce. Harvey alleges that she was unaware of her right to independent counsel and, as a result, was severely shortchanged when it came to alimony, division of community property, and child support. In her District Court complaint, filed yesterday in Harris County, Texas, Harvey claims that the couple's attorney, Ricky Anderson, told her she could not legally get more than $1000 monthly in child support for the couple's son. Harvey alleges that Anderson was actually looking out for Steve Harvey's interests, and sought to protect his client's "packaged, do-good, likeable, Christian-type image in the public eye." Anderson and the comedian sought to "quickly and quietly dispose of the divorce" because there were "many things that Steve Harvey...did during the Harveys' marriage that he did not want the public to know about," Mary Harvey charges in her lawsuit, which was first reported by Courthouse News. Those "things," the complaint alleges, included "Steve Harvey's adultery, his abandonment of some of his children, his poor and neglectful parenting of the parties' child, and physical and mental abuse of Plaintiff." Harvey's complaint, an excerpt of which you'll find below, charges Anderson with breach of contract, professional negligence, and conspiracy

JUDGE KEEPS ALL CHARGES AGAINST REMY MA

Remy Ma, accused of shooting an acquaintance in July over missing money, also must face witness-intimidation and gang-assault charges arising from a later bar fight.
Those charges stem from an Aug. 19 assault on a witness' boyfriend in a nightclub. The 26-year-old rapper is accused of causing several male friends to attack the man, who suffered a black eye, shattered jaw and broken cheek bone.
Remy Ma's lawyer, Ivan Fisher, failed to convince state Supreme Court Justice Rena Uviller the evidence was insufficient to indict his client on the witness-intimidation and gang-assault charges.
The judge adjourned the case until Jan. 3, when the prosecution expects to have results of DNA tests on blood found on Remy Ma's clothes.
Assistant District Attorney Jason Berland wants to see whether blood on Remy Ma's clothes belonged to Makeda Barnes-Joseph, the woman the rapper is accused of shooting on July 14, 2007.
Berland has said in prior court appearances the shooting occurred after Remy Ma left a birthday party, complained that $2,000 was missing from her purse and accused Barnes-Joseph of taking the money

VIVICA FOX BOOKED FOR DU

Former "Dancing With the Stars" contestant Vivica A. Fox has been booked on a drunken driving charge that could subject her to a $1,000 fine and a jail term as long as six months.
Fox, 43, walked into a Northridge police station Wednesday and was fingerprinted and photographed, officer Ana Aguirre said. The booking process took less than 25 minutes and Fox was released without bail, she said.
A call to Fox's manager seeking comment was not immediately returned Wednesday.
Fox was ordered by a judge on Monday to turn herself in or face a warrant for her arrest.
Fox was stopped in the San Fernando Valley on March 20 by California Highway Patrol officers who said her 2007 Cadillac Escalade was doing 80 mph and weaving on the Ventura Freeway.
During her arrest, the black actress accused one officer of being a "racist white cop," according to a CHP report.
In September, Fox pleaded not guilty to two misdemeanor counts of driving under the influence and driving with a blood-alcohol level over the legal limit of .08.

BRITTANY SPEARS INVESTIGATED FOR CHILD ABUSE AND NEGLECT

Child welfare investigators are looking into "multiple child abuse and neglect" allegations in the custody battle between Britney Spears and ex-husband Kevin Federline, according to court documents released Tuesday.
In a request to unseal parts of the case file, an attorney for the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services wrote that there are concerns about the safety and welfare of the two toddlers, Sean Preston, 2, and Jayden James, 1, if they are left in their mother's care.
Though the agency mentioned investigating referrals relating to Federline, the documents don't provide details.
After-hour calls to attorneys representing Spears and Federline were not immediately returned.
The agency requested the court not alter the current custody and visitation arrangements until their investigation is completed. Federline has temporary custody of the boys after Spears defied court orders about regular drug testing.

Dang this just gets worse and worse.

PIMP C OF UGK FOUND DEAD IN UPSCALE HOTEL

Pimp C, one-half of the veteran Houston rap group UGK, was found dead in an upscale hotel on Tuesday. He was 33.
"It is with great regret that I must confirm that Chad Butler aka Pimp C, one half of the legendary UGK, was in fact discovered dead this morning," his publicist, Nancy Byron, said in a statement. "Manager Rick Martin is asking that everyone please respect his family and those close to him at this time and refrain from rumors and innuendo."
Pimp C, born Chad Butler, was found dead in the Mondrian hotel, a longtime music-industry hangout.
Butler and his partner, Bernard "Bun B" Freeman, were pioneers of Southern rap, and hit the mainstream with their cameo on Jay-Z's smash "Big Pimpin'." Though they never enjoyed the pop-chart success of some other rappers, their 1996 CD "Ridin' Dirty" is considered a rap classic, and their laid-back sound, complete with gangsta tales of creeping through humid streets gripping wood-grain steering wheels, was influential in shaping the Southern rap movement.

DON IMUS BLASTS WAYANS AND HUGHLEY FOR AGREEING WITH HIM...

Don Imus made his big return to radio on Monday with two African Americans added to his cast of morning show regulars and a promise to stay edgy without resorting to racist and sexist comments.
Joining regular sidekicks Rob Bartlett and Charles McCord are African American comedians Karith Foster and Tony Powell. Foster was described in the New York Post as "a black Texas Jew with New York roots and an Oxford education."

Imus also spoke out against black comedians Damon Wayans and D.L. Hughley, who have each joked publicly that the radio host's offensive comments were accurate.

"None of us should say it. They should talk to those women at
Rutgers if they want to know how they feel about it," Imus said. "It was
demonstrated to these young women that there are consequences to what you say."
