- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 6 ก.พ. 2025
- Immature and B2K were two iconic r&b groups from the 90s and early 2000s. B2K had an epic reunion a couple of years ago and Omarion had a Verzuz battle. Yet the other members of B2K were absent. Immature paved the way for B2K and had various ups and downs along the way.
But both groups also brought the dark side of the music industry to the forefront, with some disturbing stories surrounding them over the years.
Watch for more on B2K and Immature and why their stories are a cautionary tale about fame and the music industry.

RAZ B DESERVES justice and his freedom from his trauma and nightmare. I'm praying for RAZ B.
100 percent it irritates me seeing Omarion tryna act like he can sing and he was the star, when raz gotta live w his trauma on top of realizing how shitty his band mates are. I believe him when he says they were even forced to do stuff with each other and that’s what makes it even more despicable that ALL of them act like they don’t got a clue. Like fuck Atleast if y’all can’t be open and honest with yourselves about what happened atleast support him. atleast back him like I knew something was wrong idk but fck don’t let him stand alone
Raz B needs to take these people to court! Chris should have been locked up years ago!
@@krazykaye8843 yeah idk how that’s going to work out now
Raz B is strange
He seemed happy on that MTV cribs episode, bragging about living with Chris Stokes.
"Surviving Chris Stokes".
I use to love Immature and always wonder what happened to the Filipino guy/half pint.
His parents did the rite pulling him out the group.
His parents paid attention to Chris, who looks like a gay pervert. Chris Stokes looks like he like boys, and I felt that way the very first time I saw him. I knew there would be allegations later in their career. I'm not being judgemental, but some gay men are easy to spot, and you're being naive if you try to dispute that. I would have never left my sons alone with Chris. You have to have protective parental instincts.
@@meeshakazuloosir1488 I always felt that way too about Chris Stokes. I use to always tell my mom that man doesn’t look right
His parents weren't willing to sell his soul for a dollar. I don't blame them.
@@meeshakazuloosir1488 stop insinuating that gay people are perverts. This was not needed in your comment
@@meeshakazuloosir1488 Hells yeah!
It's just so sick to know as an adult that the same groups we were salivating over as little girls were being looked at the same way by their adult male managers. And that it's still going on with today's teen stars, boy/girl groups, etc. This is why I say children have no business working *any* job including in show business. It's no safer than a coal mine or factory when you think about it.
Right it's so weird
The music industry is a demonic haven. Sadly entertainers are paid to be Bipolar whilst simultaneously being conflicted and miserable 😖 in real life.
You’re so right👈🏾
Your right
Just like ricky martin...he was abused when he was part of the boy band as little boy..he got raped by one of the mangers.
I’ve always believed RAZ B! I hope him and Quindon Tarver get justice.
Quindon died last year unfortunately
@@shaunieibe2081 I know. But I still hope he gets justice. RIP
Yh R.I.P Quindon...I cant belive that man 😪
@@shaunieibe2081 oh wow! How did he die?
@@landylarich3318 was in a car accident
I always believed Raz B and always will
Those Hats and Glasses did not hide Half Pint's Ethnicity at all. It's messed up how these youngsters are treated in that Industry, at their ages. No one should have to go through that crap just to chase your dream.
I went to the millennium tour in 2019. It was the most chaotic shit ever. The meet & greet was unorganized, you can tell who practiced & who didn’t. Just a hot mess. I will say at the M&G, Boog & Fizz we’re high as hell & Omarion & Raz seemed to be the only ones engaged with the fans. Raz B gave me a huge hug & Omarion asked me who was on my shirt (i was wearing an Aaliyah shirt). You can tell there was tension but their part of the concert itself was great! So was Mario & Pretty Ricky! But you can tell Raz loves performing, loves meeting fans. He’s just tormented
Raz B has always seemed like a people person, very sweet and very kind. I’ve always loved that about him even though my fave was Boog. All of my friends back then used to say that my son’s dad looked just like Raz.
Interesting. And I'm glad that Raz B was so warm. He's one of my favorites and he seems like he'd make fans feels comfortable. What you said makes me respect Omarion more, too.
@@staceycollins4366 Cool. My favorite two were Boog and Raz.
And HES A MEN of Faith witch is even greater HIS Faith IN GOD is very us AMAZING 👏 🙌 🙏
@@pompeiisurvivor2502 mine 2
Them Brandy mistakes be having crazy consequences for everybody but her.
True but they were kids, kids do childish things.
Realest statement ever
@@TheMzshaw there's more than one accident and someone died behind one of them. And she wasn't a child at the time
I absolutely love love love Brandy...but I would've sued the...👀
@@pettiestofbettys the comparing of the two is weird anyway a woman died Romeo is good and had a successful career
Ty Dolla Sign also got his start with Immature. He didn’t last long either but of course he’s successful today.
Wow I never knew that! Didn't know Ty Dolla had been in the industry for that long.
@@damienroberson8101 yea me either but he’s like 40
Marques Houston knows damn well that girl he married is too young. Disgusting
He should've taken megan good...
His life, his choice
@@romarisrogers8005 she didn’t want him
@@Deenique16 right because she wanted O
She was groomed at a young age and her parents were all for it.
It’s tragic what so many of the child stars we loved and grew up with went through. Their moments were legendary and if time has been a testament won’t be repeated on that level again.
Raz B is telling the truth Chris and Marques both should be in jail Justice for Raz B🙏
I was an immature fan growing up. I remember purchasing magazines and seeing certain pictures that was suppose to be to entice us young female fans. But when the allegations came out, I was like OMG. I had the biggest crush on Marques Houston. I can't even look at him the same.It's sad how things are going with B2K but Marques was correct, the dynamics are different. That's why I don't believe they won't get it together. It's not like New Edition or Destiny's Child. Those two groups were groups of childhood friends. New Edition are always separating and coming back together when it's necessary. Although DC has yet to do a reunion tour, they've gotten over their drama and still support one another with the exception of Farrah.
I saw B2k and Immature in concert at Scream tour 2 20 years ago. I saw B2k 3 times in concert at Scream tour 2, Scream tour 3 and Millennium Tour.
As a big IMMATURE AND B2K FAN and TUG GROUP, YOU DID YOUR RESEARCH!! GREAT JOB!!
Chris did more than mold and produce them.☹️☹️😡
💔💔
Yeah Raz B put that out there
Stroking stokes
Creep
I knew half pints parents had a lot to do with the reason because Asian parents really want us to focus on our education.
I'm glad you made this video
Thanks for watching❤️
Little did he and his parents know, they were saving him from a lifetime of trauma, and pain.
I cnt sit around & watch this whole video but I hope Quindon story is in here. Sadly he passed away an a car accident early April hmmm
You did your homework!!! Bravo!!! 👏👏👏👏
So from what I gathered Marques Houston was also a victim who is in denial....I heard about him being snatched away from his parents at a young age by Chris...it was because his mom was sick Chris took that opportunity to pretend to care by talking to the parents and probably said something along the lines of "you take care of your wife and I'll worry about taking care of Marques don't worry hes in good hands"...I read in a magazine interview back in 97 I think it was Word Up magazine they asked Marques Dad about his son and he sighed and said "I don't know I haven't seen my son in a long time but if you see him tell him I miss him and his brother and sister miss him we love him dearly" there's more to this story and the unfortunate truth will never be revealed...out of fear of God knows what...he was probably forced to do things to others or lose his life or someone he care about...but it seems to be a pattern with everyone in the industry...it's just a matter of not getting caught...Marques always been a humble dude that's how his parents raised him to be loving he's a soft dude but I also think like anyone who is desperate enough to reassure their loved ones are good he's gonna do what he unfortunately is forced to do...if them people in the corrupt industy said dance then he's gonna dance when looking at the barrel of a gun...he ain't strong enough to speak up...so instead he does what he's told to do...you can see it in his interviews he looks like he's scared always his body language he always looks like he wants to hide...I been peeped game since he was a kid...this man been through some shit....I also heard Chris used to make him and the other boys do eachother while he watched them and would jerk off to them...
Brandi has crazy freak accidents when it comes to people. From knocking someone’s eye out to unaliving another while texting and driving😳.
Right! I drive by the area daily. Most people know to concentrate where this tragic incident occurred because that hill coming down the 405 is no joke. And I’ve been driving it for years!!!!
Fame is a cost your men hood
Always a good watch, Thank you Renie! I wonder what Half Pint thinks about everything that has come out..
I can't believe Brandy and Romeo have never resolved the eye issue... I remember being upset when I heard the rumor that a girl threw a book at him. Just learned a few years ago that it was Brandy.... They were all hot af in the 90s can't believe they didn't resolve that back then
They did they talked about it on tv reality yrs ago
I love when u drop new videos I very much enjoy the 90s and the stories you drop are always something I’ve never heard or known about so thank you for keeping me woke! Your voice is soothing also and thanks for all the videos 👍👍
Thank you for your time and energy which goes into making these documentaries xx
Tia and Tamera were also in a group before Sister Sister at the time of Immature's debut single.
Ooh I’ll have to check that out. Thanks!
@@RenieNostalgic their group was called Voices. They had a minor hit with Yeah Yeah Yeah. The twins left the group before the album was released, but they are on that song and in the video.
@@RenieNostalgic When I first saw the pilot episode to Sister, Sister, I was surprised to see them because I'd previously seen them in that one music video they shot with their group.
After the Mowry's left to do their show, the lead singer's own twin sister joined the group. She was their rapper. By the way, my favorite song from them is Cloudy With a Chance of Tears.
@@RenieNostalgic The group was called Voices.
@@Cadeho3 yea that was my jam back in the day!!!!
Very Interesting Video, your beauty plus your calm voice was easy to listen to.
Thank you for your kind words.
I Don't think Raz B is Crazy I do believe Something happen to him .
How bizarre is the whole accident with Romeo. First, Half Pint, who we never really hear about, fought with Brandy the queen Norwood, who then blinds Romeo with a Jehovah's Witness book (how symbolic) and then the kid from The People Under the Stairs and The Sandlot ⚾️ catches eye with his bare hand. Almost sounds like a weird dream, but I know it happened.
Lol... he caught Romeos detached cornea, not his whole eye.
@@Prince.Mykal.Vision I already know that but it doesn't sound as dramatic to put it that way. Lol
@@Prince.Mykal.Vision
🤣🤣😂😂😩
@@pompeiisurvivor2502
🤣🤣😂😂
What's wrong with you?!
Sorry that happen To Romeo he was a handsome young man and to me he still is May God Bless Him
Brandy also sang background on there first album. She is in an intro also very clear. She also saw Romeo multiple times after that.
There’s even a picture of them together on your cover photo.
Wow, Brandy blinds that poor man and then goes on to kill some one with her vehicle?! What’s up with all the accidents she has caused hurting others?!
Brandy curse
That’s what I was thinking while watching that part. She’s dangerous lol.
Come on u still haven't figured it out yet.... SACRIFICE 4 FAME!!!!
That dude Stokes has a real problem. You'd feel bad for his kids, but I don't think he would harm his own. Only other peoples kids. Sick
Love the channel thanks for the upload!
Girl you be knowing the scoop 👍👍👍👀
And people forget Jehovah's Witness protect their own. So I'm not surprised that Chris Stokes made sure to stay within that church.
Well researched and a lot of details…
Thanks for watching!
Nice One sis?, greeting.fromma Felliw Brit.
Keep up the good Work 👍 😊
Excellent video!!! I can tell you did your research.
Thank you! ❤️
@@RenieNostalgic 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Nice video my sister
Thanks for watching!
When I was younger, growing up in SE London, my friends used to LOVE Immature...I always felt something was off with them...I was listening to WuTang, Jodeci, Tupac, MJB and The Fugees..Maybe to old for my age at the time...But Immature never sat well with me? Renie where are you from, if you don't mind me asking...As in UK
I love your content love the videos I’m a huge fan of the 90s music so I will continue to be a long time subscriber thanks for the wonderful content
Thank you! ❤️
Chris stokes need a documentary 😭 on lifetime asap

Thanks for watching 💕

Really enjoyed this. And have subscribed
Great video...!!
I was born 1990, and when I was a little girl immature was my fav kid group(I was a fan with the original group with halfpaint) I even went to the scream tour concert as a teen🙃 I was sick when I found this out yrs ago! I was sooo shocked!!!!
Is About Time Half PINT
subscribed instantly 😎
Gah damn. Brandy got a body and an eye on her docket 😬
🤐
Brandy just be causes accidents like it’s nothing 😂😂😂
AWESOME VIDEO ❤️❤️
Thank you!❤️
Brandy has had a lot of bad luck 😞
Tell me about it. Kind of like Bobby Brown.
@@pompeiisurvivor2502 interesting both of them are Aquarius
@@brandonbates9259 Brandon Adams is no different. And he's not that star sign. For instance, he caught Romeo's eye when Brandy severed it, then he was with that guy who played Romeo on Steve Harvey when he was murdered. He went through a lot of other things that doesn't get much publicity, too.
@@pompeiisurvivor2502 Yea Brandon Adams and Merlin Santana were best friends,very sad what happened
@@brandonbates9259 And I wouldn't doubt that he feels responsible, too.
Then you got Diddy working with b2K. Wonder what all happened there....
And R. Kelly… 🦅 🪶
Love your hair. It's very 90's, yet still in sport.
Not sure why they tried to hide his features like we couldn’t tell he was of Asian descent 🌝
I literally listened to the whole thing #Respect #iSub'd
Thanks, very interesting 🤍🤍🤍🤍
Thanks for watching Stefan!
ANOTHER DOPE, video, RENIE, oh & thanks for taking up my suggeestions for lil kim & the love triangle, between her and faith Evans. I have another suggestion, how about messy beef between 3LW.
All of a sudden I feel like listening to Say Yes.
Love your voice
I cracked up when you said so they must’ve got mad every five months after meeting😂😂😂 about Marques Houston The face you put😂💓❤️🫶 New subscriber
Chris Stokes and Marques need to be put in jail! Taz B deserves Justice 😢
That's 'Raz B' not Taz.
RIP Quindon
Marques Houston definitely got hella talent for sure can’t lie about that
Most of Marques tunes came from Stokes. He never had talent or found himself.
But they act like O wasn’t a solo artist for YEARS….
I followed all of them back in the day.
Raz recanted his story about Chris Stokes, bc he was pressured and bribed with money. I wish he didn’t do that. I wish he had a strong support system,instead of all the leeches that seem to be around him.
We can speculate as to why he recanted, but we don't know the reason so it's unfair for you to just give us a reason without the facts. I do believe he is telling the truth about his abuse and may feel alone and lost and that may be why he recanted.
Marquis just seems creepy to me...
I remember when he got sock'd by omarion in he got served 🤣
He's a jerk. I went to a scream tour back in the day and was screaming lol and he gave me a dirty look. He was watching from the middle sound stage area. I always found it strange when he did that. Now I believe he was jealous and territorial lmao
Ikr! Now when i look at him im like "YUCK!"
I was in love with immature aka imx
Had no idea they were childhood friends before getting discovered.
Late lol
@@bakgammon Not if it's not that serious, I'm not, lol. I was a big fan of the groups from the generation before them. But I'm familiar with these guys, too.
On our worse behavior, Playtime is Over, We Got it, The Journey, IMX. I was a mess over Batman, Romeo and LDB. I remember that PYT tour, I wanted to go so bad and cried when I couldn't go. At the time it was at the Palm Beach Convention Center which is ironically now the Jehova Witness Convention Center (Marques is JW).
I so appreciate you filling us in on some of what's really going us with both groups. As for Brandy damaging Jerome's eye, I never knew about that. Raz B, I have mad respect for him coming forward and laying out his truth with no hold-bars. Now for Marquis and Chris Stokes, whom are both pure liars, they are the epitome of disgusting, evil, vile and wicked. Like Orlando Brown, he and Raz are putting all their cards on the table about the evilness of the business. I believe them both.
Omarion acted shock at Chris stokes I can't believe something happened to him
I think he’s worried about the legal aspect. Probably doesn’t want to get sued for defamation
@@Deenique16 nah he got his piece of the pie so he gonna stay quiet that's hush fruit money so j boogs and fuzz lyin to about wat happen nah Omarion a fish 🐠
14:39 how did he fall out with Omarion again? I remember when Raz posted that but now they are back on bad terms after Omaris Versus
They were babies! Smh watch your kids! Don’t trust everyone with your children. 💜
Omarion is full of B.s there are past interviews where he says stokes did nothing he crazy. Now since he no longer work with Stokes something must have happened lol
I HATE to say it but you're right. I remember that interview where he called Raz bipolar and crazy. I do feel like he might be a narcissist but he was younger at that time of the interview and seems to have a better understanding of things. Especially now that he's a father himself
Not to mention, last year, O'Ryan (his brother) implied something on one of his social media pages that he also may have been a SA victim of Chris Stokes, tagged him in the post and then asked him if Raz B was lying, why not take him to court& sue for defamation. I think Omarion shared his brother's post in support.
@@petitensweet08 Omarion was about 25 during that interview. All 4 have some kind of issues and it’s common in all boy bands. Management manipulate them. Turn them against each other showing favoritism. I believe Omarion used the other 3, which was already a group before him. I do believe fizz and Boog upset being more popular was forced to the background. Fizz being the first to sign a solo deal and Boog being taken out of marquess Houston role in you got served. Omarion snaked fizz twice which people don’t know all that plays a role.
You didn’t tell the whole truth about marques Houston he was kicked off of sister sister because of some allegations involving a little boy that’s why he left the show it wasn’t by choice he fired because he’s sick
Really where can I find this story
@@blackbutterfly8136 I seen a video of it on here I can't remember his name but the producer of the show won't say but how he stated it was something serious n basically he didn't have a choice but to leave the show
@@truthseeker5863 oh wow I really want to give him the side eye I used to really enjoy the music but now seeing hoe he is its a massive turnoff. With the accusations flowing I shouldn't really be surprised at this
Omg umm wow
Yes I remember something like that was being said and the producer as being tight lips, but it came out in some articles, can't really remember I was young back then
That's crazy! The Jets were all brothers and sisters and they were Phillipino, and they came out in the Mid 80's considered R&B/PoP the hit was "YOU GOT IT ALL" The Jets beautiful song!
I thought they were Polynesian
The Jets were not Filipino! Where you get that from. They were Tongan!
Great vid new sub 👍🏾
Didn’t know jboog n marques Houston are cousins
Jboog and Marques is related and Chris Stokes and Raz are related and he was sleeping with all them boys and making them sleep with each other. The incest in this story is never acknowledged.
Ohhh
@@mariahyohannes it was always Acknowledged that’s rape not “ sleeping with” they were minors
@@Deenique16 OK. RAPE.
@@mariahyohannes Sick sick sick. No wonder they're all messed up.
Interesting video, also does anyone remember that film you got served with b2k lol
Breathe in .... Breathe out...... Now drop drop drop drop! 🤣
Chris stork the devil smh I hope he gets expose
Is he amongst...not familiar
Oh don't worry THE MESSIAH GOT SOMETHING IN STORE FOR that demon Chris stokes trust me
Omg Chris Stork is killing me
I never knew half pint existed!!! I always thought that was either Romeo or LDB lol...I was 5 years younger than them so I couldn't tell...they did a good job of hiding him because thought immature was always three black boys lol
Love your accent 🥰
All these years I thought that Romeo was simply making another strange fashion statement with that eye patch 😅
Sad you never now behind the curtains
The first brown skin kid with brown dreads was TyDolla$ign, not Romeo 💯
I still love immature better then B2K I guess beause the kids from immature where close to my age
Loved Immature and didn’t know that about the Filipino member who’s from my home city Carson, CA.
I definitely believe Raz B every single word of it
Ngl a verzuz between these 2 groups will be legendary but that’s prolly never gonna happen tho
I always say where there's smoke there's 🔥 & everybody or even 2 people who don't know each other like that aren't gonna tell the exact same lie on u minus a few minor details 🤷🏾♂️
Prayers 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 for Raz B.
I remember please do lord I remember that cd n my mom passed away too n my bff.
Half pint parents peeped something they didn't like n got him up outta there..or they already got to him...I can tell by marquis response that he did everything raz b said he did
Omarion knows what happened talking about he think something happened to razb trust me he knows....
I just thought he was light skin in reference to Half Pint
Ooouuu i love your channel
Thank you! ❤️
I miss both, immature & b2k.
Yes they are ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜.
