Raz-B, whose real name is De’Mario Monte Thornton, has faced various personal and legal issues since his time with B2K. He has also pursued solo music projects.
After B2K disbanded in 2004, Raz-B, who was one of the four members of the popular R&B group, embarked on a solo career, releasing singles and mixtapes. However, his post-B2K years have been marked by controversy and struggles. In 2007, Raz-B made headlines when he accused his cousin and B2K’s former manager, Chris Stokes, of molestation. Stokes denied the allegations, and Raz-B later retracted his statements, only to reaffirm them years later.
Raz-B’s personal life continued to be tumultuous. He had several run-ins with the law, including arrests for DUI and domestic violence. His mental health and well-being have also been a concern for fans, as he has publicly displayed erratic behavior at times.
Despite these challenges, Raz-B has attempted to maintain a presence in the music industry. He has released singles like “Get It Low” and has made appearances on reality television, including “Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood.” In 2019, he briefly reunited with B2K for “The Millennium Tour,” but his participation was inconsistent due to personal issues.
Raz-B’s journey has been a complex mix of attempting to revive his music career while dealing with personal demons and legal troubles. His fans continue to follow his endeavors, hoping for a positive turnaround in his life and career.
