HERE WE GO AGAIN!
Now Raz-B’s brother, Ricky Romance has released a statement that basically says Raz-B was forced to apologize earlier today! Here’s the transcript of the audio.
HERE’S THE TRANSCRIPT:
TNU: Have you talked to Raz B since the scandal broke on the internet?
RICKY ROMANCE: I just got off the phone with DeMario (Raz B), and the apology tape is not real! Chris had people force Raz to read a script and coerced him into taking money. I talked to DeMario and the money will be returned. We want this done right. We’re putting this message out there for all of the innocent kids who get abused and are then forced to be silent.
TNU: Rumors have swirled that Raz B was forced to take back his statements against Chris Stokes. Is this true?
RICKY ROMANCE: I won’t say names of who it was who came at Raz to take that shit back, but I’ll tell you that it was some street niggaz. That’s all Ican say.
TNU: Since you released your molestation allegations against Chris Stokes, has there been backlash?
RICKY ROMANCE: Listen, yes. I’m being followed. Niggaz are threatening my life, but I don’t care. I stand by what I said because it’s the truth. Maybe I’m the only one brave enough to talk, but this has gone on for too long. I just want Chris’s sick child molesting pedophile ass to go to jail. Period.
TNU: How is Stokes threatening you?
RICKY ROMANCE: Right now he’s trying to intimidate us. Chris Stokes is very connected. His best friend is the Los Angeles Chief of Police.
TNU: How did the alleged molestation start?
RICKY ROMANCE: All of this is my fault. Chris tried this shit with me and I let it happen to my brother. Chris came into our lives at a vulnerable time. Our mother was on drugs and having problems in her marriage. He was our father figure. The sad thing is, I love Chris. That’s my family. He took DeMario in and was supposed to show him a better life. That better life was just financial. DeMario never finished school, hardly saw a dime and was molested from the time he was little until he stopped it.
TNU: Were you and Raz B the only boys who worked with Chris that got molested?
RICKY ROMANCE: Chris told all of us “participate in those fuckin gay acts, and you’ll
always be taken care of.”
TNU: Chris is claiming that the reason you and Raz are speaking out is because he cut you off financially. Is this true?
RICKY ROMANCE: Chris is trying to dig up dirt on me. Yeah, I have a past, made some mistakes but that was the past. I do incredible things in the community, I’m a business man. I care about young people, unlike Chris whose life is about manipulating and exploiting young people. Chris Stokes has not supported me, my brother or my mother financially since B2K ended. That shit is just false. He bailed DeMario out recently when he had legal issues, but that was it. He made that shit up.
TNU: Is speaking out on the issue of molestation in the entertainment industry hard?
RICKY ROMANCE: I’m a man. The shit that happened to us as kids were dead wrong. And it wasn’t just us.
On Marques Houston and Chris Stokes
RICKY ROMANCE: Marques Houston and Chris Stokes have been lovers for years. Yeah, Chris is married, and it’s a real marriage as far as them bein down for each other, but Marques will always be there. Why do you think all through the B2K period he was keepin Marques Houston’s name alive when he was over…They had to shout out IMX, who gave a fuck about IMX??? It’s b/c Chris was, you know, with Marques…. That’s why he kept poppin up.
“MORE TO COME!!”
EDIT: Ricky Romance earlier tonight on WPGC 95.5

My heart goes out to these two and anyone else who were victims of this sickness. Media outlets are digging up all this dirt on Raz B and his brother, but the bottom line is that, regardless of what type of problems you’ve had in the past (or present), it doesn’t take away from the fact that YOUNG CHILDREN WERE ABUSED AND MOLESTED. Anyone ever think of the possibility that these issues were a result of the boys acting out because they were being sexually, physically and psychologically abused??? In Raz B’s recant, it’s obvious that he’s reading something or speaking from something that is scripted. His heart was not in that recant; he was scared into it. Instead of looking into the legal trouble these two have been in, why isn’t an investigation being opened to look into Chris Stokes’ involvement in this?! Let’s just say this: when you have a lot of money, it’s easy to make criminal activity disappear or go away. When you’ve been abused for years, sometimes you act out, and your legal woes don’t just go away - beacause you’re poor, troubled and alone. We need to support these two for being brave enough to step up and speak out. This monster and his friends / family needs to be stopped before he hurts someone else’s babies.

Abuse:
I feel you 100%. The buck stops with Chris - his tail is shady from jump street and he needs to be investigated and brought down properly.

I feel really bad for them. I was a big fan of B2K and when they broke up I watched the cmxvision interviews of the group {without omarion} and my heart went out to them for the way they were manipulated and brainwashed. Chris Stokes is a terrible person and I always thought that he was a faggot he looks like one. And Rickey is right Marques Houston or IMX wouldnt have been dug out of the dirt if it wasnt for B2K. I really hope that Chris Stokes goes to jail for this cause he thinks that he can get away with it. But Karma is real and he will get what he deserves and the truth about everything from B2K to his relations with kids and MH will all be brought out in the light. I will keep Demario and Rickey in my prayers
