While it’s no secret there is a dysfunctional relationship between one of the Millennium’s largest groups, B2K, it seems like the long-standing beef reignited today on Instagram. Member Raz-B made a claim on Instagram about his group members and alleged they were protecting sexual abusers, namely the group’s former manager Chris Stokes.
Raz wrote in a now-deleted post, “Just found out certain B2K members got me blocked! I just fed your kids n**ga! They must be protecting pedophiles.” He captioned the post, “Opps…. y’all can’t win and protect child molesters.”
Raz has publicly spoken out against Chris and accused him of sexually abusing him during his time in the group. He alleges the abuse started when he was around the age of 11. Once the allegations were made public, members of the group isolated Raz and sided with Chris.
This isn’t the first time Raz called out his group mates on Instagram. We reported in 2019, Raz announced he was quitting the group’s reunion “Millennium Tour” because he felt unsafe with Chris being around.
In the video, he said, “Raz-B is officially off the tour. I don’t feel safe because I feel like Chris Stokes is around. So guess what? I’m off the tour. Good luck to everybody. No disrespect to [Omarion] because he’s my brother. [Omarion] if you want to come to talk to me and you want me to do the tour, I’ll do the tour, but I’m officially off the tour.”
He continued, “Oh, guess what? I guess we’re about to shoot the new ‘Surviving Chris Stokes’ movie, right? So call Lifetime ’cause I’m ready to talk.” Raz’s brother, Ricardo Thornton, also confirmed the alleged abuse, claiming that Stokes sexually abused him.
At this time, no other members have responded to Raz-B’s claims.
