Chris Stokes Issues ANOTHER "Official" Statement+David Banner Heals The Hood

Dec 28 | by Natasha

So Chris Stokes issued yet another "statement" through his PR company in regards to Raz B.'s apology video:

"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."

Yes, we heard somebody feeding Raz the lines of what to say in his suspect ass apology video. And yes, we peeped him not even being able to look into the camera. And yes, Chris, I saw you including your own uploaded version of the apology video in this e-mail statement from your PR company. At least try to act like you didn't have anything to do with this apology. I'm just sayin'...

And David Banner hosted his Heal the Hood festivities this week. He went around to neighborhoods in Jackson, MS to make it rain with money and toys this Holiday season. And of course he made sure to let y'all know why every other "gangsta rapper" is whack for not doing the same thing. Interesting.

That was really awesome for

That was really awesome for David Banner to give back to the community, not alot of people would do something like that and he's right that those rappers like to spend money on those nasty women instead of giving back. P.S. I wish he would stop using such profane language and sound more educated like the man I know he is. Other than that kudos to D.B.

Chris says "he doesn't do

Chris says "he doesn't do that anymore" I wonder Is It because Raz, Omarion and Marques are now grown and he's attracted to little boys? Could there be more victims? Is he tugging at little boys crotches? Makes me sick to my stomach. People watch your children!!!!

Awww damn, I think I know

Awww damn, I think I know that street David Banner's on. I am actually back home in Jackson, MS for the break...I think this was on local news. Being from the Sipp like DB, I applaud him for doing that. He is so vocal and adamant about giving back to the community (especially during the Hurricane Katrina aftermath - he was even sheltering folks himself). Yet all he gets (if he gets any) is bad press for riding against Oprah and Al Sharpton, and that whole Tip Drill thing. He is definitely one of the few rappers who, although their music is often not positive, tries to redeem himself in his actions. It's really a shame that he and those like him are often ignored by popular media unless they get arrested. Even in this post, most of the posters could care less. (I know the B2K thing is juicy) He is also a very intelligent and surprisingly articulate man who spoke to my class in high school. If you met him, you could tell his whole rap persona is an image cultivated from years of living on the streets (which he did), but it's not really who he is anymore. Damn...that was long as hell.

I don't think Raz-B lied

I don't think Raz-B lied about his allegations and he should have continued to speak out against this man. The sad thing is if this is true it could be hard to take this into court.Other young men who worked with Stokes in the past should also be inreviewed.

I believe Raz-B and all but

I believe Raz-B and all but he just recorded a conversation of someone else without telling them and put it on the internet. That is where he messed up. Chris Stokes saying "I dont do that anymore" was edited footage. Which means he could've been talking about getting high or ANYTHING. He didnt confess and until he's proven guilty, he is innocent. Raz-B on the other hand has commited the crime. Good luck Raz-B I'll be praying for you. Talk to you're lawyer before you make anymore moves. Chris Pokes I hope if you did do the crime, God is merciful.

i always thought Raz-b and

i always thought Raz-b and his brother were lying .. there story didnt sound right to me.. Raz-b and his brother seem bitter that they have no real careers or money and needed to get a buzz by any means necessary and if thats what it took to get it ,there you go.. first of all those phone calls were very misleading, in no way shape or form did Ricky romance scream on Chris for what he supposedly did to him and his brother years ago..he was screaming on Chris about his mother being kicked out of a party Chris was throwing, thats the only thing he was mad about ,chris was responding back to whatever raz-b and ricky said to him we all dont know what he meant when he said "that was along time ago" and "how hes changed , plus he and Raz-b are grown men now can protect themselves so why have'nt one of them went to the authorities and there families and told them so they can protect there kids if hes capable of this kind of behavior? because there lying thats why.. these 2 should be ashamed of themselves.. i don't believe for one second chris paid these 2 off, chris said the magic words- LAWSUIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and these 2 don't have any money !!!!!!!!!!! this lie could've of destroyed his children's lives,child protective services could've gotten wind of this and removed his children from there home and placed them else where with this kind of info, he couldve ruined chris's marriage with this bold face lie he might of been falsely arrested..i don't care how chris stokes dresses or how his face looks to some people when he takes pics, that does'nt mean or make him gay.. its guys walking around who are gay and you would never know it.. why? because they "look" straight but are'nt.. chris should sue these 2 anyway and teach them a lesson about telling bold-face lies..

It is nice to see David Banner giving during the holiday season. He seems to be down-to-earth. I saw his CRIBS on MTV a few years ago and it by far was the best one yet. He is profound not to mention fine as hell! You go David! Dang Raz B, I hope you don't allow this to stop you from healing. Integrity in life is key! Stand on your own two.

The real tragedy here is the fact that other victims will now be scared to come forward. They will think no one will believe him.

Natasha, I know you don't like it when people post links but I thought you would understand this one...

Regardless of how many

Regardless of how many statements pop up sayin the B2K/Chris Stokes story isn't true, everyone already knows it is. So these fake apologies aren't foolin anybody! I'm friends w/Raz on Myspace & a couple bulletins were posted dispelling any rumors that Raz was missing, and also said not to believe anything that Bossip is putting out about it (i.e., The Bloods threatened Raz's life and made him apologize). This whole thing is crazy and I think it's gonna get worse before it gets better. Damn. But I think this would make one hell of a movie!

I just watched the videos and I'm sure that Raz B's telling the truth. The sister he spoke to sounds stupid but she's a reflection of why this happens under our noses. No child should be held accountable for something like this and if this happened to him as a child him "being a man" now has nothing to do with him being vulnerable when he was young. Stupidity!

That's the worst thing about it. All those young, black boys who've fallen victim to such molesters will now feel too ashamed to tell the truth about what happened to them. Noone believes that fake apology. I feel sorry for those guys (Raz B and co) - they were up against more than they anticipated with Chris Stokes. That's how pedophiles get their victims - by fooling everybody, and by victimizing them, in more ways than one. And here we go again.

Right about now this ish is

Right about now this ish is tickimg me off. Mainly due to the fact that Raz-B dont have a reason to lie. What he is he gonna gain from this ish, he lost his carrer a long time ago. so whats to gain now? I think Chris Stokes needs to stop, because ge knows he is at fault and do to the fact that they are related just gives stokes a full foot forward to manipulate him into apologizing about the fucking truth! Im so sick of them and Omarion, marcus, and Stokes. they should have never done the group like they did and they know it. And to be honest Chris stokes ass is broke like Keisha Cole stanking azz... Bowed Out!
