- Raz B came through for another VladTV interview, and he started off by speaking about how things have changed in the four years since his last interview. Vlad then started off by asking Raz B about his childhood and growing up in Crenshaw, being around for the L.A. riots, and B2K forming. During the conversation, Raz B detailed the friction within the group, and he explained that all of the members had issues at one point or another. Raz B also shared what he thinks broke up the group, and he also explained why he thinks a reunion wouldn’t work at this point. Vlad also addressed Lil Fizz dating Omarion’s ex and mother of his kids, Apryl Jones, which Raz B said was a “weird” situation. Speaking more about the situation, Raz B revealed that he knew about it before they did The Millennium Tour, which led to Raz B speaking about more friction that unfolded on tour. Raz B also addressed why he left the tour, and he addressed J Boog wearing a shirt that many believed was taunting him. During the conversation, Raz B addressed his arrest, and he went on to speak about Lil Fizz apologizing to Omarion, which Raz B said he orchestrated. Raz B also spoke about a Pretty Ricky and B2K Verzuz that turned into Omarion battling Mario, and Raz B also addressed the back-and-forth that continued after the Verzuz. To hear more, including Raz B addressing going viral over a run-in with the police, and working with R. Kelly, hit the full interview above.

Only person who should be suffering is Chris and Marcus. They sacrificed him and made him look crazy because of what they did to him. Naw I'm not okay with this.
Right? Why are they not behind bars now? Are they really still that protected by the industry? The fact that they are still not in prison irks my soul.
Raz only has 1 voice he needs OUR community to make them Accountable until then nothing will be done And that’s his cousin smdh which is even more difficult but yeah he needs numbers behind him ♥️🙏🏼
Y'all speak on this thing with such convictions as if y'all were there when it happened and knows for a fact
@@ivysmith2794 its called having empathy for his truth his story hasn't changed in 20yrs and the 2 men he's accusing haven't done much to dispute the accusations outside of sayin no they didn't do it
@@g-m0nee having empathy for a story is one thing but to automatically demonize the allegeded perpetrator without facts and knowledge is senseless! And weak! You have to be willing to hear both sides before making judgement
It seems like his constant prayer and maybe going through therapy has helped him out tremendously. He seems so much more put-together than other times. Keep fighting bro. Man, Marques Houston and Chris Stokes might've gotten away with their actions on earth but they got bigger problems to face when it's all over
Facts. GOD HAVE MERCY
Absolutely. Articulating much clearer than other times. I’m proud of him.
So, he can no longer talk about Chris Stokes based on what he signed?
@@godsdaughter2157 what do you mean?
Good interview but I can't blame Omarion for the way he feels about the rest of group band mate's
also, i love how he gives his band mates the positive credit they deserve Razb has an amazing positive energy esp after what he has told the world of what he has been thru so glad he came out of it. any abuse in childhood or adulthood is still horrific...
I love Raz and his tenancity..he literally danced his a** out on each your date and you can tell he appreciated and valued every minute of it❤️
Finally the full interview! This was a good one. Love to see the growth.
Raz B we all praying for you and it seems like he's in a peaceful place
Vlad "ok" kills me every time 😂
😂😂😂😂
Chris Stokes need to be in prison
Great interview. Love the growth, healing and love you express👍🏽🙏🏽💚💚👏🏾💐💐
yes i was waiting on someone to interview him! love his energy
I'm loving it. It's good to see him being so fluid and put together.
God bless all those that have been thru any horrific times in life you're not alone and God bless you all.
This CZcams world is going crazy right now who would’ve thought these two would come together. Hopefully this interview brought this brother some peace
Finally the full version! lol
i dont know what it is about this guy but i believe all things he says. He has integrity.
I have such a soft spot for raz b. He was instrumental in us realizing what the industry babies go through. I'm happy he has healed, and grown up after his trauma. It's okay to not feel safe around predators, he was very vocal about what happened, and CS should've never been there. O might be the most traumatized of the group but I'm sure his career would be ruined if he ever expressed it.
Facts
i hope Raz is okay. as an OG B2K superfan, the first tour was enough. B2K had a season ... that season is over. I hope Raz can find a beautiful place for himself because I think he genuinely has a good heart and soul...just alot of trauma.
Beautifully said
Mario Vs Omarion wasn’t close. Mario smashed him
I still wholeheartedly love this guy!
RazB talking positive vlad like yea ok so the group broke up
I DIDNT WANNA WATCH THIS BUT I DID AND YIKESSSS PRAY FOR RAZ B
It sounds like Raz makes alot of excuses and is really passive about the shady things his band mates do to him. He seems like he’s the friend that everyone takes for granted and advantage of.
I hope he finds success and healing for himself and family.
He does but I think its because of his faith in God. hes more merciful and forgiving as we all should be because otherwise we walk around with all this hate, jealousy, and just negative energy within us when we could simply choose to be at peace, understand, forgive and move on.
@@TheodoreBakes eerrrrreeerrefrrre me when g😂🎉🎉
He’s got a big heart. That’s how it usually goes. He’s a great guy
Most definitely 100% what I feel. I'm proud of him but concerned because a person who is always the peace maker can be honest about who they are but often are not realistic or smooth out others bad behavior which can stagnate total releasing of trauma and inner healing.
I just ❤️ love ❤️ the courage, Raz B!
Great interview!
Great interview Everyone gotta support Raz he’s a visionary ❤🙏🏼💐💐💐💐💐💐💐
Great interview.
Nice interview. Raz kept it professionally and classy as ever.
So funny that he says that B2K isn't a vocal group, but he can actually sang.
True but in general aspect - Vocally compare B2K to Jodeci, Jagged Edge, Boyz2Men, even Day 26.... B2k not really acknowledged for their vocals, its more of their performances
raz can sing!!! bt b2k as a group.....nah.
Good interview Vlad.
I can’t believe this doesn’t have more views! Get them numbers up! 😂
Not gone happen. Not enough juice. No negativity no comments no views.
@@itsjustmeshay true!
He’s matured so much ! So proud of him !
It’s so good to see Raz in such a good space GOD BLESS HIM
Fizz been backdooring Omarion . That shit crazy !! & to say he slept with april because him and omarion wasnt friends but Raz just said they was bestfriends
I'm late but I loved this interview of Raz. My favorite one yet!!! I done with b2k...I wanna see Raz solo. He had some good ones. There was a song he did called Fire...I liked that one.
Hats off to Raz B. What a refreshing interview. We’ve seen him go through his struggles but he looks and sounds as if he’s in a good place in life. He takes accountability and is honest and is looking to the future. Bless him and yes, these rappers do need to stop feeling the earth with the negativity of disrespecting women and glorifying drugs and killing each other. Bless you Raz B and wishing you a bright and prosperous future.
He seem mad cool and nice! Hope he can get it together! 🙏🏽🙏🏽
I think they just need to move on from B2k! They’re about to 40 and have families. Move on! Omarion did!
God bless you
Raz you are a light for speaking your truth and we commend you for it King!
He said is there anything we haven't covered that you want to? That was pretty wide open and real. 🙏🏼
💯💯💯
B2K vs Pretty Ricky would have been great since there hasn't been a boy group verzuz and Omarion could have had a separate solo artist verzuz at another time.
Raz shouldn’t feel the need to apologize for not feeling safe. His “brothers” should understand that and be protective of that.
"yea that was my idea" -Raz B😂
On another note after listening to B2K tracks I knew I heard Marques Houston’s vocals on their songs. People swore it wasn’t. I knew it
Love you RazB. You look healthy and happy. Continue in your road of recovery that we are praying for and each of us goes through individually. Got Bless you, in Jesus name.
He seems like he’s doing great and healing! I love it! ❤
I love how he is humble and takes responsibility for his part in the events of thebgroup and his life. But what makes my heart break is Raz B was literally abused and molested by someone who was not only a member but a big figure in the industry. He was a kid when this happened. And as a society we ignore these things but even more when it happens to boys. And no one had his back. He had to continue to take things on the chin and move on. This says alot about him as a person but it says even more about everyone else involved. Salute to Raz B! I pray yu always tell your truth and use it to empower.
P.S. I love how when they mention who could do a verses with R. Kelly, Chris Brown is the top player. Say what you want about them, but they are true artist's!
B2K vs PR would’ve been lit
🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
BY FAR THE BEST MOMENT OF THE INTERVIEW COMES AT 20:35……
when you get 30 plus aint shit cool or healthy about fist fighting your brothers that shit is not healthy if ya cant get along stay away! that's why O chooses not to go back the group is toxic, ya cant even drink together without arguments and fighting i pray and wish healing over this group healing old trauma
Omarion hasn't been accountable for him saying in an old video that RazB was bipolar to discredit him when Raz's allegations towards Chris Stokes came out.
Do your research before you start telling lies. He has since taken accountability and sided with Raz. Please stop it.
@@j.shuntal6736 exactly
Get Algee Smith to play O in the B2K movie. He played Ralph in the New Edition movie
I love you raz for Life
Raz tryna get that b2k bag 😅😂😂
I am proud of Raz B for sticking up for his truth and never trying to allow people to silent him. I think he should be protected. I think he's doing well at it. I also think he needs to change his circle and because the people he is hanging out with having fights with, may not be the right ones. Him and Orlando Brown always stayed truthful. Unlike Orlando, Raz B seems like he did his ground work on himself. I hope that his abusers will get their karma and justice will prevail. I wish Raz B the best. This is one of the best interviews I've seen in a long time. The last time he was hurting, this interview, he evolved. However, Vlad kept asking the same questions at times. But I'm glad Raz moved on. I hope he doesn't give up taking Chris Strokes, MH etc. If it is happening to R. Kelly, let's hope we see who'll be next. I do think that B2K was too triggering for him and I think he's better off not rejoining them again. Every member of that group did not fully support him when he came out against Chris Stokes and MH and everybody was calling him crazy. I think he should cut ties with the group members so give him peace. He might not see that now, but maybe in the future.
I think they should say fuck Omarion and do Ray2K!
Exactly
Feel so bad for what he has gone through. Everyone says he’s on drugs, and trying to be attention whore. The things he has said… no way it didn’t happen.
I really wish there could have been B2K vz. Pretty Ricky. I wanted that so bad. Raz B: I’m so proud of your growth. So glad you got this opportunity on Vlad again bcuz they didn’t let you talk much on that Drink Champs. Love you, Dude. Keep your head up.
Im with you on that raz b enough fighting do something better so better be inspirational 🙏 💯
Ignition Remix is one of R Kelly's middle hits. I Believe I Can Fly is one of the biggest songs of the past 100 years
What’s crazy is they’re talking about a picture and I saw a whole video so what is it ? 👀
If we’re talking hits and we’re not talking about what somebody is streaming now….how can R. Kelly go up against Stevie Wonder? It’s impossible. Stevie had three back to back Grammy albums of the year….and doesn’t include a classic album before that run and one afterwards….He had hits in the 60’s, 70’s , 80’s and 90’s…..He writes, produce and performs all of his stuff. Stevie is the GOAT….R. Kelly is one of greatest R&B artist but he’s a student of Stevie…..imo
Attraction is not sex that’s the devil
How was that NOT a pic of Fizz?
R. Kelly vs The Isley Brothers
That’s the only way a versus would have been fair
Pretty sure r Kelly wrote for them too. Nobody can go toe to toe with Kellz. Sad he tarnished his legacy over his demons
Raz-B is the Best DANCER in B2K, he has a nice voice & without question is AN AMAZING, HUMBLE & GENUINELY GOOD PERSON, w/SUCH A BEAUTIFUL SPIRIT!!!
I feel so sad for him
I ❤ Raz
24:15 Vlad mentions Mario in the lineup and then Raz B said Mario as if Vlad didn’t already say it lol
No, Vlad asked if there was anyone he missed out. Raz said Mario. Vlad says Omarion? Raz clarifies Mario.
I really lik Raz B. He’s so original in a Tru man of God at least trying can’t say that about to many industry men.
I like Raz B. He seems nice.
I do too
@@rodeezus do you like him in a romantic way?
@@Cheersthewinners no lmaoo just his personality he don’t be on drama! That did sound like it lmao
@@rodeezus i would’nt mind marrying him
He seems more in a better headspace. However when he brings up Chris stokes in his NOW manner it’s giving hush up.
This just wasn’t how he was talking on Chris name before. And the things we’ve all heard. We can’t un hear. We need answers.
say hê came in the music game with a nice team around him . Brings up stokes and m.h immature . Like hes happy there . ray j working with both marques houston and raz b , Currently but on different projects in Tv and music. God bless them all.
Yea it’s weird. So did Chris “do things” to him orrrrr did I just make that up in my memory?? And all their family drama is messy af. Idc how good the group once was, the break up was good for all of them 🫠
The answer is.... believe what you wanna believe. He literally just said he is at a place of peace so I wouldnt expect to het into details about if we all already know/heard about the story. Unless you want to validation from Jaguar Wright🤣🤷🏾♀️ But bottom line dont expect Raz to speak in detail about it. If he's happy where is now, thats all that matters & we should be happy for him🫶🏾
@@swizzylifestyle5660 I will NOT u can’t say things as such and make accusations and the world doesn’t want to know the outcomes of it. And his at peace hasn’t anything to go with it because he stated that they were still going forth with the documentary. So it’s not a matter of believing it’s a matter of him finishing what he started. Can’t just back off of things like that after saying them. Period
@@relltalk4549This is a very weird comment. No one owes you anything; especially not anyone that's been a victim of abuse. They can choose to share what they want, how they want, when they want.
Raz B looks well
They failed to realize o will forever be ok because he had a solo career where he don’t need B2k so remember B2k is what they had tht was big to them but not to o he had movies and solo so he does not care
To be honest without b2k it wouldn't be no o. If it wasn't for one of the guys from the group troop doing O vocals he wouldn't even been apart of the group from the start . Look it up O can't really sing he is dance ... The versus told it all
@@sadeheart124 I’m saying Omarion doesn’t care weather theirs a B2k or not he has 2 number 1 solo albums plus #1 collab with bow wow so he do t care he also has his own and a great deal of hits can or not sing he still gone be good without 💯
@@asamcampfield817 we know he doesn't care that's no secret. Again without the group his non singing ass wouldn't have NOTHING 😆. No one would have signed his ass , better yet did you know they was almost got dropped because of O vocals way before they even came out. He can't sang 😂 period Mario outted his ass at the versus about it . Anytime you need someone else to do your vocals just for y'all to get a deal.. come on now 😂. Collaboration with bow wow 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂. That was over 6yrs ago, you act like bow wow is the person to go to if you want to blow up 😂😂😂. Number 1 Hits?? The last real hit he had was "post to be ".... And how long ago that was and even before that when he had a real serious hit when he was a f****** solo. .. we'll wait . Again he is a DANCER he isn't a great VOCALIST at all . Do your research before you ride a mf nuts so hard 😉
@@sadeheart124 you mean “to be lying” because Steve only put SOME vocals on 2 songs that O song over! You really that mad that you can’t even be logical that O songs acapella at his concerts so how can he not sing? Also Steve has spoken and he favors Omarion. Troop had Gerald Leverts vocals in their songs. Did you know that? I bet you didn’t 😂
They’re not the first nor the last to use vocals. Go back to class please.
@@sadeheart124 Oh and O was already up and coming when he was introduced by his aunt to the group. 🪑
facts bow is:)
Has any one ever asked him 🤔 what was he doing in China?
Watch his last interview w/ Vlad, he explains why. Or you can just google it
Throughout this entire interview all I sense is misleadment playing from all members of B2K
No way would I say a person who allegedly molested me "has love for me".
Trauma bond 😔
Did he say shoutout to Sidney Starr?
Why is he apologizing to boog when boog was antagonizing him wearing that shirt
no one is beating R Kelly! possible contenders is Micahel Jackson but he has passed .....BABYFACE MIGHT BE ABLE TO HANDLE HIM BUT STILL R KELLY WINS
I wouldn't r Kelly and m jackson in the same sentence lol
both predators
it's Trip now to see Former B2K Member and Silent One I always saw on the group to me Raz was like Mr Dalvin of Jodeci you never got to hear his full Singing vocals?! I can Tell Raz got a little talent no denying that!! as he speaks on the Suit-ration with Him Omarion Boog and Fizz it seems to me with VLAD now getting the chance to interview him here! I think Raz- has been straight up the whole time! and his drama back then was his Cousin Chris stokes aka the one who brought up Immature LDB Batman and Romeo ( I'm around Immatures age) had no idea later in the early middle 2000's would never see a group like B2K that my second to youngest Sister was Following for 2 decades ago to be Exact?! anyways the drama that materialized with them to me it's Funny Yet petty! hearing that Raz went from foster home to Foster home man I would have given for that at least I saw my own parents physically fight domestically in front of me! anyways really like Raz's courage to finally be the one to Squash all this drama and pettiness within the group they need to make history bring B2K back together! God bless all these brothers felt like I've grown up with Music like there Elders Immature aka IMX
🙏🏾
Drama? He described molestation and rape. That’s more than petty drama.
Don’t forget about the Dream has hits
R Kelly wrote a lot of CB songs as he got older 😂 No one fucking with Kels
However you decide to enter your own house is reasonable. Don't let anyone tell you that you were wrong.
Why isn't the interviewer being shown?
Cause glad didn’t get the dirt he was fishing for, he genuinely uses specific people to start drama and that’s how he get paid. Glad is a “ white” Wendy Williams. I’m just waiting for his dirt to uprise. 😅 ijs ♓️
It's unfortunate that iconic groups like B2K couldn't make it work for the culture. Some things are bigger than you. Society is one of them. Love is one of them. Fake it if you have to. Its entertainment at the end of the day anyway. But if I had the power to influence the youth or anyone for that matter I would owe it to the people to be a role model. Y'all have the power to bring people together to create nostalgia. Why throw that away. The ultimate confidence in one's self would allow you to get over the little issues and perform your role. It comes off very insecure that B2K doesn't exist today.
I would not consider them an iconic group but to each their own.
To ask someone to "fake it" for the sake of your entertainment is ridiculous and stupid. It might be entertaining for you but for them it's called "Life"
@@walterfrazier8146 Facts!
Homie seem likes he still needs help and still ain’t over a lot of stuff from his past. He is just jumping all over the place and still has anger issues over multiple things. It would probably be best just to let that B2K stuff die and move on
Hé lie about chris cause he does not have a career he jealous of Omarion

So what I got out of this is nothing good comes out of drinking. Every bad situation came while drinking or after drinking. Hope he ain't drinking no more.

Stevie Wonder would smoke R Kelly in a versus. From hit songs to albums.
Versus is based on ppl who came up to stardom in the same era/decade. R Kelly was in the 90s, Stevie Wonder 60s... they cannot compete lol
Child it’s giving passive aggressive …
