In this clip, Ricky and Amy Bell detailed their wedding which was a dual-ceremony honoring their union as well as Ralph Tresvant and his wife. Ricky said that he stayed up the entire day before the wedding on a cocaine binge citing the beginning of their marriage as the time he realized his addiction.
Later in the clip, Amy Bell discussed her background in the music industry and being a part of different groups. Vlad also asked the couple about children to which they responded that a child is being planned for the end of the current tour. - Zábava
What an incredible woman. She takes ride or die to another level. Such strength. Stay strong Ricky. You got this.
I pray for everyone that's going through addiction. 🙏
Saint Thomas thank you
Thank you bruh
Amen
Saint Thomas thanks bro
I Pray for Paul Walker... RIP
Everybody was focused on bobby drug addiction when ricky was getting higher than an unpaid light bill.
yola baby Daily....
Lmao 😂😂😂
lmao
@Nat Turner’s Revenge on God and nem 😭 😭 😭
Everything was about Bobby
I respect that woman's strength. She is clearly the backbone of this man. I hope he stays sober for the remaining years.
It's very hard to have an addiction and a lot of money
It's wonderful to see a real man recognize that!!!
Man that’s a strong woman, stay by his side all them years. Amazed they can talk about it so freely. Two years sober is fairly recent, salute to her for sticking it out through thick and thin...
She was the reason he got addicted
@@vaultclassics1516 really? I gotta watch the whole interview...
They're one of the few couples I've seen in an interview that their body language shows that they have a genuine, loving, and respectful bond
Respect to this man. He's so transparent. God bless him and his wife. Stay strong bro
Yes, for keeping it real his testimony
Rikki Bell boy I never could imagine you to be caught up into drug abuse man,I came up with New Edition, and I was a person that knew all the songs that didn't get any radio play. I can go on and on with a few songs that I could go ,and on, but I say that to say that no matter how successful you, and the guys were, by you going through what you been through only tells me that no one is exempt from drug abuse, and it further let's me know that all it takes is 1bad decision and anybody can fail short.But at the end of the day New Edition is still my favorite group of all time. I'm from New Jersey, but I been in Boston trying to get clean myself. I been to the Shattuck men's stabilization, and I also stayed on Pine Street the shelter. As a matter of fact I met Mike 1 night on Washington Street, I will never forget that. More success to you my dude continue to make that you keep up the amazing work. A fan for life. Take care Slick.
Great series of interviews with Ricky Bell. He seems like a very sincere, humble good guy. Amy seems like a good woman, shes trying to help and stand by her husband. God bless you both and I wish you the best with the disease of addiction.
It takes a real man to face your truth .Salute 💪
I respect Ricky even more. Love his pure honesty.
Congratulations on your sobriety brother! Cocaine is a hell of a drug! #Staypositive
I have... and he is right... is their people who can function and not get addicted... sure. But for most it can really mess u up. I look at my brother and he looks older than Ricki Bell damn near Boby Brown and he is only 34. Socially awkward as hell and no real life.
Real talk bruh #StayPositive
@DoingIt2Death but it's cooked with petrol
Are you high on cocaine right now fam???? 🤔🤔🤔I wasn't saying anything bad about him. I was congratulating him on his sobriety. I've seen cocaine destroy my family! Once again, cocaine is a hell of a drug! #Staypositive #GetRehabAsap
Facts. You think it’s all good when you’re on it until you realize you have work in 3 hours and start thinking how you got here. I’m still fighting my addiction to this day. It’s so easy to get back on it, all it takes is that one bump.
its hard to picture him a big drug addict seems like a real clean cut guy
Cocaine seems so innocent especially back then "Party drugs" turns into I gotta have it drug
Let me tell you, looks don't have a dam thing to do with it, it's what's inside the person, mentally, spiritually, a drug addict can look like anybody
@@ernestbutts9418 well said 💯💯🙏
Right, I am shocked. He wasn't sloppy with it like Bobby Brown was.
Right...it could be anyone. We all go thru highs and lows in life. Never know who is at their lowest spiritually/mentally to start using. 🙏🏽
The courage to talk about this is very moving. God bless his recovery and sobriety..
He was a functioning drug addict, cuz no one ever knew, Wow!
I know a few people just like Him 🤷
Can we give ultimate praise to this amazing woman who stood by him!!
Relapsing after being 5yrs sober is some crazy shit!!!
Facts some people with mad sober time like 15 plus will kill themselves after relapsing
I recently relapsed after 15 years
@@HitmakerTJ I hope you're ok and can get help immediately 🙏🙏🙏
My boy came home on 2/23/21 he just did five years in prison. He overdosed 2/29_21 he didn't last 7 days on the street...drug addiction is serious...R.I.P doowap🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Life is serious
Respect for them both being so transparent and open. Prayers for you both.
Real woman she stayed down with her man through his darkest moments rathered helped him then to leave him
Mine never...
Ricky is Transparent ASF!!! Hope they continue their sobriety.
Ricky is one of the NE members that I would’ve thought never got high! The brother always seemed so grounded and together. These interviews with him have been amazingly honest and I wish him and his family and the rest of the guys from NE and their families Peace and many Blessings!
This dude hid this very well! God bless you Rick!
@djvlad Please do your research before these interviews. Ricky & his wife have been trying for years and it was very rude of you to ask why they do not have children. Even if they were not trying that is none of anyone's business. They already sharing enough, it's like asking an overweight woman when she 's do. I personally don't think your a culture vulture however you are not a good researcher or interviewer. Plus why do you always feel the need to name drop in all your interviews (me and so and so are good friends etc.) that has nothing to do with them. Plus I saw you trying to be shady regarding the BBD back stage underage lyric question. They are not the ones do not be playing with peoples careers like that during this time and space we are living in.
This a great interview. I grew up on BBD. One of the first concerts I ever went to was the triple threat tour with BBD, Keith Sweat and Johnny Gill. Great show. They’re new album doesn’t get enough credit. 3 stripes is dope.
THA REAL I agree, the music industry is so terrible now, the music that's actually GOOD gets no publicity or credit.
I seen that show, it was great!
Ricky trying to be a first time father at 50+. Also today is his birthday!
Old people can be parents too my parents old as shit when they had me but they did the best they could for me n I appraicted it they was wise too but yeah I wouldn't recommend it don't want nobody dying on they child from old age
His wife look like 29 tho
I think she is 35, but that's not too old to be having kids. 50 is kinda pushing it...
Antonio Smith Yeah Ronnie had his twins at 50
I.say no.
All my friends do coke but because of my mothers addiction to drugs I never used but I'm not perfect I have used other drugs thank u God for being on my side and allowing me to understand I have a choice in life now I dont do a thing so my child dont go thru what I went thru
Forget the Bobby Brown story I wanna see this story on BET 😂😂😂 got damn.
They threw it in the ne story a little bit
Me to
I was thinking the same shit...
@@mhs1983 i want a mike bivens story
A BBD Story...
I had NO idea he was on drugs...al I heard about was Bobby Brown being on drugs.
Kudos to Bobby, he kept the spot light on HIMSELF only and didn't divulge in anyone else's business. That's a MAN I can respect.❤❤❤❤❤🏓🏓🏓🏓
I would've bet a million dollars that Bobby was the only drug addict in that group. Nope...Whitney and Ricky??? Drugs are like bullets....it has no name
Everybody does drugs in the music business ... most are just really good at hiding it ... I can assure you ...
Bruh how you ain't know about Whitney? They always get mentioned together...."get high like Bobby and whitney" is an OLD ass saying
It was the 80s.... everybody did drugs
JK number5 And Ralph. JG was a fuckboy to "Sugar"Ray Leonard & Eddie Murphy, broke & lived out of their guesthouses until their wives put their foot down. Murphy divorced over it. Then JG swiftly & strategically, wink-wink, becomes the subject of a patenity suit, like Eddie's ex boyfriend Arsenio when the steeets were whispering out loud.
Bobby was a dealer to the stars. As we're Nick Cannon & Ray J. Bobby would get a kilo, sell half of it, and Whitney, friends & families partied with the rest. The shootout in Whitney's Bentley that killed Bobby's "associate" was a drug deal gone bad.
Ricky hid his, or did the media focus more on Bobby because of his stardom?
Im trying to kick the alcohol habit
I'm praying for you and with you . I have my own demons.
Hang in there bro. I’ve gone about 20 days before... everyone is different but it is possible...
You can do it through Jesus.God Speed.
Real shit, you can do it. I've kicked pain pills, which is basically heroin. You can beat alcohol; it's not easy, you just gotta do whatever you gotta do. For me, I had to move to a whole different state; but because alcohol is everywhere and it's legal, it's harder to escape. I thought I was going to die off withdrawals. It's the worse pain you can ever imagine consuming you constantly night and day for weeks all over your entire body. Keep pushing fam.
I have the same with gambling
I think it's not good to be dependent on that one person he seems like he's real attached to her God forbid she leaves him or does something that pisses him off. That's why it's good to go to meetings and be around sober people other than just one person you depending on one person will be your downfall.
She is no better. Their codependent on each other.. Im glad he is making it now..
How is she “no better”...??? She’s put up with his bs. That is not easy as a drug addict myself, I could say that’s not easy. I have put the people around me through Hell.
@@adrianchavez0928 yes and when a person enables another u know as fact that enabler have issues as well . Their just not using... No disrespect to any one. So don't take it as one......
Hopefully you gamble and win
Yes. Hes really attached yo her. Bless his heart. He needs to go to meetings like you're saying so he can learn to stand on his own.
This was moving I pray His 2 years become 10 plus he strong
Damn I thought bobby was bad. Hell he needs a movie now after this interview.
Addiction is a powerful thing.
I am rooting for the Bells! I pray their dreams of starting and building a family are realized.
He has only been sober 2 years so he is still in the danger zone. He could relapse at anytime. I hope he doesn't
Yesssss an the tour is coming to
Thats what I'm saying! Like I thought he was clean for more than that!
I know the feeling.ive been sober 2 years and there is always fleeting thoughts of "i got this".
Like after everything you learn in recovery you think you can control your addiction.he seems like really good guy i hope he stays sober forever..
That's not true that means that he's in a danger zone the rest of his life because you can relapse anytime one day at a time that's all you need
Negative energy
My heart goes out to them. Keep fighting and keep going. I wish you both many years of happiness.
I HOPE HE CONTINUES TO STAY DRUG FREE. HE IS INTELLIGENT. I WANT HIM TO DO WELL IN LIFE AND HELP OTHERS!
Ricky Bell has always been my favorite outside Bobby & makes me feel good to see him happy and wiser. One more Day is my personal favorite NE Jam
I love your honesty, Ricky. I think you will help many others with your forthright, humble attitude.
Slick was really slick about keeping that drug habit out of the public eye.
Heathcliff Huxtable Phd. Wasn’t social media back then like now people did things nobody talked about
just been 2 years sober....he been on it with social media! shit we only through the new edition movie from last year....that nigga..no how to stay low!
@@ShudrodWatts About a lot of shit. Maybe I am wrong buttttt 🤔
Once I had 2 years sober, I was good. My prayers go out to everyone who needs it...
Truly a blessing having THIS woman remain by his side thru it all.. Sickness, health and death indeed.
Glad they have such a solid bond. It's necessary, especially if you're battling something. Rather go in it with someone you trust rather than alone.
So that’s why she went to the interview
Man that’s gotta be so hard sharing such personal stories since Rick has always been so private. I’m sure this will help others. Props.
I felt everything that big bro Ricky just said!!! Addiction is so tuff!!!
Much love and appreciation for the honesty of Bell here. Many prayers to his continued sobriety.
Man I hope things keep going well for him and all the members of New Edition
You never realize that you are at the bottom until you come out on top.
I was todays year old when I heard Ricky got high!!!
Good luck to you bruh!!! Remember One day at a time!!!!!
thats so sweet him and ralph got married together
They were in a group together before NE called Ricky & Ralph. They had been friends way before NE...
Yes and we can get married too , oh boy i can't wait for the honey moon bae ✔🌷
GMLOGMD MOE she’s 12
dance4life1208 They started out as best friends
@@nasaswag9159 lol i wasn't serious and wtf she doing watching these cluckers?? Thats the question if she's really 12
Coke is a hard one to shake. The high makes you feel so damn good and invincible. Makes you extremely confident at that! You’ll do and say things fear usually keeps you from doing. Everything you do becomes 50x more enjoyable with nothing seeming like it’s just the norm.
I never got nearly this low but I’ve dipped into my savings a few times re-up. I let that shit go it was pulling me and my girl apart and killing me in the wallet area. It technically isn’t addictive but the way it makes you feel will always pull you back. If you have an addictive mentality you will 9-10 need rehab to shake coke.
Everyone has their poison shit I can never let go of grass that shit puts me to sleep but coke, Molly, basically any drug that Amps your mental state of mind boosting your confidence you gotta be careful with starting.
Cocaine is extremely physically addictive
My opinion of coke is it's not physically addictive, it's mentally addictive, like someone woth craving ice cream or chocolate cake, you don't need it, but you love the taste of it
That’s exactly why I will never try.
Wow. Drugs ain’t a joke
Man I'm so happy I don't have A drug problem you might think U have problems but drugs make life A liveing hell
They must really love each other because Ricky is looking at his wife like "I can't wait until I get your ass home. MrNastyTime when we get home!!!!"
Great Interview that just goes to show everyday people that Celebrities are in the human condition too-the Celebrity struggles with whatever is bothering “tormenting” their soul & spirit. Thankfully God’s Grace showed up in the form of his gift of a devoted beloved wife. Absolutely transparent interview. Pray that Ricky Bivins sobriety stays for the rest of his life.
Message to the youth:
You will never miss anything that you haven't tried.
Damn..been around him NUMEROUS times (he's my daughter's uncle) and he was ALWAYS cool, calm & collected. 🙏 up for ALL those that struggle with addiction.
Stay authentic and hold your course thank you for sharing
I love your honesty Ralph I grew up off your music and I also have struggled with addiction to cocaine so I know we’re your coming from stay blessed and strong 💪🏿
*ricky
Wow. I had no idea he was still dealing with his addiction.
FrankWonderBeantown cocaine addiction is something uou could potentially deal with for life
FrankWonderBeantown Ralph is hiding his
MrWARBUCKS24 I heard about that.
Nobsav Addiction, period. I’ve been dealing with one for 24 years.
It's a life long thing. I've never been on coke but i been on pain pills and it's something that you just randomly at times have a wave of craving for; can't explain it; I've been off pills for 4 years now; and the way my life is setup, I can't ever get them even if I ever want them. But once you get clean and you realize you can live like a normal person, it motivates you to stay that way. But it's a for life thing from my personal experience.
Keep up the good work!!! U can do it!!!
I remember an award show where they pitted BBD against Johnny Gill as well as some other artist.... BBD won , but as they were going on stage, Mike turned around on the steps and made Johnny Gill come up with them... he then said that they ONE FAMILY and that he wasnt going to allow the media to get them separated..... anyone here remember that ? Such an awesome display of unity :)
Why don't you just put the whole interview out .
It's about the hits. Why would he put it out all at once? It makes more sense business wise to break it up.
Make way more money this way
dont worry, he will
The more hits the better u hAve to edit
Remember this is a business bro, splitting a video into clips means multiple incomes, one full video means one income. CZcams is a business, VladTv is a business.
He was looking at his wife intently as she spoke, his body movements were that of a coke head as she explained how she felt when he was using. Make no mistake, I salute him for his journey to recovery
I noticed and what’s sad is that at this time he was only sober did two years. He should relapse at any time.
What a Beautiful wife inside and out. God has truly blessed them to have each other. The way they look at each other like they've never seen each other before is so dope!
I'm so proud that you're hanging in there keep your head up!
Did this chick say "it was hard for her?" On the last video she said she is the one who got him on drugs!!!!
Exactly he needs to leave her she gonna get him messed up and take all his money.
Wow !!
Shit I thought she was a good Gal! Didn't c the last interview.
@@Myah447 they have been married for 14 yrs. She could have been left him messed up many times by now. No one can get you on drugs, unless you were forced. He has to take responsibility because he could have said no, but Im sure she feels guilty in some way. I’m glad she stuck by him during his lowest times.
@@narzu123 no I don’t give a fuck something is off asf about her
@3:25 He sold his Timbs? I think I'm gonna faint.
You from NY because us new Yorkers get a heart attack when it comes to the timbs lol
@@gloriempaka9474 💯💯💯
Very well spoken brother! Your words are so well spoken and your message is powerful! You have a beautiful wife & the world at your finger tips. I'm coming to see BBD in Texas soon
So happy she was a true friend and stood by him through better and worse and back to better.💢🕊
Happy birthday Ricky Bell
His shorty is bad fr
For fake, she ain't short she a tally
She coo
She ain't all that.........stop with the color struck thirst for anything non black.......it exposes self hatred.....full black women are the finest......never worship someone that doesn't look like you
Black Stud stfu😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@blackstud726 Thank you!
Beautiful Couple! Very brave to be so transparent. I'm happy they made it through. #blackloveisbeautiful
Would have never known. Thnx for sharing.
They look so beautiful together you can see they love each other dearly
Ricky don’t seem like most recovering drug addicts. He definitely looks 👀 better than he did back in the day.😇
Glad you still here bro had peeps that was addicted to cocaine 👊🙏
I Love Ricky for this!!!
Mal from the Joe Budden Podcast 😂
Artisan Windchimes just died my g
Artisan Windchimes that’s crazy
The accuracy
😭😭😭
😂 never noticed the resemblance until now
So basically she’s the person who introduced him to his first hard core drug (extacy) which eventually became the gateway to him becoming addicted to cocaine.
Always the case
Adam and Eve
Bitches aint shit manee
Alcohol is the real gateway drug.
Stop it. Gateway is bs. How many people haven’t innocently used x handful times in their lives at a concert or something . Man is an addict it’s a disease .
You consider X to be a hardcore drug???
that woman love you brother... to stay with you through that... respect
No matter how u got there. The hardest is finding your way out. I'm one on one too. Years my brotha. If you look back and your sill where your at as of this video. GOOD. Keep looking for life. Y'all have the gift of music. We need you more than ever now. Stay clean...or get back. Much love y'all. Stay tuff. Peace.
GOD BLESS RICKY BELL ON HIS SOBRIETY ADDICTION IS SERIOUS I'VE DEALT WITH IN MY FAMILY FIRSTHAND
I never would’ve thought. I thought he was the most clean cut one
Almost all celebrities do drugs and the go to is coke.
You can tell they really love and support one another.
We Love our Ricky & Queen Ricky for sticking by him through it all💯💯👏👏👏😍😍...I'm so happy he beat the addiction❤ ....N.E. 4 Life
Damn he started off in marriage high I am glad he is sober now
People hear and know of all of these stories and yet we will have millions of new drug users every year. Congrats on him making it but it's an unnecessary journey people put themselves through, & to think moron want to legalize all. People have death wishes & fascinated with chaos.
Totally agree!
It's because most people think that they are mentally strong enough to not be addicted to drugs, until they realize they're not.
What About 💯... I’ve never had the desire to know what those drugs are about. NO THANKS
Thats wassup
Damn! I hope you maintain and keep elevating for the best And keep your wife!
Great interview....
Addiction is so powerful... day by day bruh
Damn so bbd was smoking crack??? So “poison” must’ve been a subliminal about crack???
😂😂😂
Damn sounds like he was getting higher then bobby brown lol
I respect his honesty and openness about it💯
Great to hear they're doing so well.
I'm in LOVE with the COCO!!! remix ft Ricky & Bobby
Dam he still dealing with it
Love the energy.
Ricky bell is inspiring to be this real,and him and his wife are blessed to be here when you consider the demons of these drugs and the power
Who else read “..sold everything he owned, including his booty....” 😂

Which explains why you clicked before Vlad hit Publish. lollll

Nyijay Tash , all B.S aside, I’m sure he is no stranger to homosexuality!!! He probably already has been bent over several times being in the music industry and all.
