RAZ B. RETRACTS HIS STATEMENT; MEETS WITH CHRIS STOKES FOR PAY OFF & TO SQUASH BEEF?; WILL DR. PHIL BECOME INVOLVED?

My head hurts. I can't stop sneezing and my eyes are constantly watering. If I didn't know any better, I'd say my symptoms are due to allergies. Yeah, that's it. I've become allergic to bullsh!t and other things that just don't make any sense. Case in point: Raz B.'s retraction video which was posted yesterday on youtube. It looks like Chris Stokes still has the upper hand when it comes to getting these boys (and even grown ass men) to do what he wants them to do. Well, it's too late. Your dirty laundry has been exposed.

Anywhoo, in the video Raz B (without ever looking straight in the camera) said, 'I would like to send a public apology for some tapes that were leaked without my authority ... I just wanna say that those allegations are not true ... with Chris Stokes and Marques Houston. And I apologize for any hurt that this may (have) caused ... publicly, financially ..." [WATCH VIDEO AFTER THE JUMP!]

My allergies kicked into overdrive, when just a couple of days ago, another source said Raz B. and Chris met (since the release of the infamous videos) and agreed to squash their beef ONLY if Raz made a PUBLIC APOLOGY/RETRACTION (hence, the apology video) denying his prior allegations against Chris. Overall, it was Chris' intentions that this apology video would hit the Internet by this morning before making its rounds to various websites and messageboards...which it did. He also wanted Raz B. to visit local radio stations to make more public apologies. I guess he figured he'd cover all of his bases in making sure that those who don't have access to a computer would hear Raz's literally unbelievable apologies via the radio. In Raz's defense, phone calls have reportedly been made to The Dr. Phil Show regarding this incident. And yall know Dr. Phil don't play when it come to the kids.

**Oh, and I saved the best for last! This is what really put the lid on the jar...if it's proven to be true. According to the source, Chris reportedly wrote Raz B. a check to cover any of Raz's immediate financial issues; again, hence the apology video. Would anyone like to explain to me why a person would write a check to someone just days AFTER this person has publicly accused you of sexual molestation? Talk about incrimination. I swear, the higher a monkey climb, the more his ass shows.

See what I mean when I say I'm allergic to bullshit and things that don't make any sense? I mean really! I am too through with this entire situation.

AFTER THE JUMP, YOU CAN READ STOKES' OFFICIAL STATEMENT IN RESPONSE TO RAZ B.'S RETRACTION.

Chris Stokes felt compelled to release an official statement regarding Raz B.'s retraction statement/apology video. Damn, my head is killing me! LOL!

Here it is: ”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.”

Needless to say--and for those who care--the above statement was made after Stokes' voiced part 2 of his original official statement (via MTV) where he denied the allegations made against him. He said, "All the allegations they made are false. I'm not gay. And I'm married. And I have four kids. I've been with my wife for 16 years. And I'm not a child molester. So those are all false allegations. I'm gonna sue them. And I owe that to my wife and kids, period. It's ridiculous."

FYI: Before Raz B. uploaded and posted his apology video, his business partner, Kevin Sullivan, told MTV News that the singer wasn't ready to elaborate on his video allegations, BUT he was meeting with lawyers and preparing a statement which will hopefully help explain his claims. Sullivan said, "With something of this magnitude, you always look at what the best time is [to talk about it,] and he felt compelled ... that this has built up.[He was saying,] 'I'm tired, this is my story.' It's something that's spiritual, and God says now is the time."

FORMER B2K MEMBER & HIS LITTLE BROTHER EXPOSES MUSIC PRODUCER, CHRIS STOKES ALLEGED CHESTER MOLESTER PAST; STOKES RESPONDS.

The power of the Internet is a force to be reckoned with, that's for sure! Over the past couple of hours, I've received at least 5 emails from readers asking me about former B2K member, Raz B.'s disturbing youtube videos where he accuses Chris Stokes of sexually molesting him, his baby brother Ricardo and possibly other young boys (including ex-members of B2K as well as Marques Houston). The story (as well as the videos which you can AFTER THE JUMP!) was first discussed last night on Lipstickalley.com. The same messageboard where the biggest and juiciest celebrity stories (as well as rumors) originate. To tell you the truth, I was so into the 20+ page thread after it was first posted, that I neglected to bring the news over here to share it with you all! That's my bad. It was that good!

A lot of unbelievable news has been revealed in the last 19 hours. So much so, it's gotten to the point where Chris Stokes has been forced to release a public statement denying every negative tale that has been made against his sexuality, sheisty business dealings and more. For years, there has been widespread speculations within the music industry and beyond regarding Stokes' alleged sick attraction to adolescent boys. However, in Stokes' defense, the music producer says Raz-B (real name Demario Thornton) concocted this false story after he stopped financially supporting the 22 year-old out of work former band-boy. One thing's for certain, two things for sure: we have not heard the last of this mindblowing situation. What a way to bring in 2008, huh? Read Stokes' statement below.

"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."

THERE'S A LOT MORE AFTER THE JUMP INCLUDING THE REST OF CHRIS' STATEMENT, ADDITIONAL DETAILS SURROUNDING THIS STORY, THE DISTURBING YOUTUBE FOOTAGE & A LETTER FROM RICARDO DETAILING HOW EVERYTHING WENT DOWN FROM THE VERY BEGINNING.

During the taped calls, Raz is heard saying that Stokes "touched" him when he was a child, then later Ricardo is on the phone with who they claim to be Stokes who says, "I don't do that anymore. That was me years ago. I just don't do that in my life anymore." Also during the call, Ricardo is heard mentioning a recent event, held by Stokes, where they were denied entrance. Stokes confirmed this, further explaining, this may have cause the public accusations brought on by the pair. "It's also quite ironic that these statements were made only two weeks after they were denied admittance by a venue for an event I hosted in Beverly Hills," Stokes said.

The Thorton brothers also say singer Marques Houston was also molested. Houston has yet to confirm or deny these accusations.

Ricardo sent a heavily detailed letter to IllSeed over at Allhiphop.com revealing the time(s) and place(s) of how everything went down. CLICK HERE TO READ

BITCH-MADE BOW WOW & MILD-MANNERED OMARION IN 'WHEN WELL-INTENDED PRANKS GO OH-SO HORRIBLY WRONG.'

A flash of that hissy fit behavior Bow Wow says led to a cut finger and missed tour dates several weeks ago was on full display in leaked footage of a BET spoof interview that went horribly wrong. Omarion and Bow Wow were just beginning a joint interview for BET's The Black Carpet when Bow got upset, cut off the interview and stormed off claiming interviewer Touré was being too disrespectful with the questions. "Do you take moves from people like Chris Brown?" Toure had asked O. Toure also pointed out that Lil Wayne's chain is bigger than Bow Wow's, and praised O for being dope in the Naked video – which was actually Marcus Houston. Toure then began to yawn during one of O's answers. But it wasn't until he checked Bow Wow for using his phone during the interview that the young rapper freaked out.

"You pay my bills, bruh? Real talk. …Don't ask this man is he taking moves from Chris Brown, and don't ask no other disrespectful-ass, stupid-ass questions,"Bow Wow said to Toure as he got up to leave. "You got a problem with it you can holler at me." [See video clip AFTER THE JUMP!]

What Bow Wow didn't know was that Toure's questions and comments were all part of a BET prank that was discussed with the pair's label beforehand. The interview was to be used for an upcoming Punk'd-style show called Hell Interview. MTV caught up with Omarion Tuesday to get his take on the whole prank gone awry. The singer says there are no grudges, but he still has Bow's back and wishes that people would take them more seriously.

"Everything is good, man," he said. "You know how it is, sometimes when you're coming up in the game and you as young as we have been, sometimes people think they can — not necessarily push us around, but they feel they can play with us like that. If it had been 50 Cent or Game or any other man who would have stepped up in that interview, it would have went a lot differently. We want our respect, man. We want our respect as men. You don't just throw a man in a spoof interview and disrespect him. You have to respectfully talk to him. We didn't know it was a spoof, but I'm a little bit different when we handle situations. I'm very mild-tempered. I like to think about what I do before I do it. Bow gets upset."

Their joint LP, Face Off, is in stores now.

TOO FUNNY! LOL!
