Both of you two Johnny and Ralph are to be highly commended for humbly and willingly taking care of your families....I'm glad they were able to develop a genuinely unbreakable friendship !
I'm glad to see the two (2) of them together. They are amazing singers. I saw them at The Dell Music Center last summer. Johnny comes every year to The Dell. I hope Ralph comes with him. It's their time. Thank you for putting up the interview.
They always kept things between them, but they began trying to tear Ralph down, they were actually revealing who they really were- nothing but bullies. Continue to do you Ralph.
From 2017 to late last year they tore him apart in interviews. This was a tactic to make him cave and come back like he usually does. Didn't work this time.
I love me some Ralph Tresvant he's such an humble Man and down to Earth and I met him to know this in January 2002 a good friend of mine called me and said guess who I'm hanging with and showing around Town and he said he told Ralph you have a fan you got to meet her and he took the time out too meet me and we talked for 30 mins and took a picture which I have framed!! I feel like he's not appreciated as much has he should be because he stuck it out with New Edition and contributed allot to their success and he's the sound of NE that the fans fell in love with like Johnny Gil said they hired him to take Ralph place because they knew he was a diamond in the rough and they was really scared of Ralph going solo because they feared his solo success wouldn't bring him back!! Love you Ralph you're missed I'm not going to a NE concert unless you're part of it!!
For some reason this interview and song pulls at my heartstrings. Ralph i don't think its selfish to put yourself first sometimes. God Bless Ralph Tresvant and Johnny Gill, I think they both have a beautiful spirit. I wish nothing but Blessings, Peace, Love and Happiness to them and their families. Im so glad Johnny's mother is doing better. Thank U Reddbone for posting this video. Lisa from Philly 💖❤💙💚💛💜😊😊
SHOUT out to M.r . Marvin Mc. We fans enjoyed this video so much. .LOVE AND PEACE . Thanks to Maurice Star for noticing talent and that IT FACTOR . How thoughtful,and considerate yes we liked and love the interview with Rt and JG.👍👍👏❤😁😁😊💙💙💙❤✌
Really grateful to see this interview, it was therapy for me as a fan, I was concerned that Rizz may have been adversely affected by all the chatter after that breakfast club interview with RBRM because he never said anything publicly, I know JG addressed it to a degree because he couldn’t tolerate the inaccuracies being spread which is what most of us would have done, but Rizz seems to have wanted to keep things quiet although he may have been suffering internally himself but like always he sacrificed for the group even at the expense of his own happiness. It seems he’s over that now but focused and remains in a good place with solid plans and that’s what is best FOR HIM which is what it should be, it would be cool to see NE on stage together but if that will eventually result in more setbacks for the guys individually then I’m good without it as well. Praying for everyone and thanks so much for this upload Redbone!
I'm so teaming Ralph... I Love and miss NE, but I'm with JG what's right is right!!!!! They touched on it in the movie... They are jealous of Ralph always has been. I can relate as a 50yr. old exactly where he's in life. I heard all my life" fool me once shame on you fool me twice s shame on me". I understand, the regrets. How he sacrificed for people that never looked out for his best entrance. They didn't then and still don't appreciate the unselfish decisions he made that forever change his life his success and to then bad mouth him is the ultimate betrayal. It's not bitterness it's growth. when you're repeating the same cycle over and over again and expecting a different outcome it's insanity. I'm happy for you Ralph, It's nothing worse than knowing you could be in a better position for yourself and family. yet everyone around is thriving and you're just getting by if that isn't enough motivation? I understand at this point It becomes everyone else's problem if they can't understand where he's coming from. I commend you Ralph on you!!!! Just No, that everyone has to and will pay for their transgressions. It's really sad to hear him say that he's not as wealthy as Johnny... SMH!!! As long as you're happy in life; is all that matter do what's best for you in your career... I wish You continued success, peace and Blessings!!!
@TJ You are so right, they have always been jealous of Ralph, and they still are. I see it with the side eye and little subtle things. I love NE as a group. Rizz is my fave!! I heard Ralph say BBD was BBD before they formed the group. They would be on tour and BBD would go out and would not ask him to go. He said he would call his friends from Boston, and they would fly out. I believe every word he said. People will use you for their benefit and don't care if you gain anything. I am so glad JG saw through the BS and what they were doing. I am glad to see Ralph and Johnny together!! Keep pushing Ralph, your true supporters are with you all the way!!
At that point, there was speculation that Ralph Tresvant was going to start a solo career in the vein of other 1980s lead singers who left their groups (a la Michael Jackson and The Jacksons or Lionel Richie and The Commodores), and New Edition wanted to continue performing. As stated in this interview, Tresvant told Michael Bivins, Ricky Bell and Ronnie DeVoe he was working on a solo album and even started not showing up at performances (including the 1986 NAACP Image Awards). The reality is MCA had Tresvant singing practically all the lead vocals on the "New Edition" and "All for Love" albums to the point all the identity of New Edition was tied to him. So Johnny Gill was brought into the group in the event Tresvant would leave. Plus, if Gill is singing with New Edition on the "Hearbreak" album if Tresvant left, there wouldn't be as jarring of a transition for New Edition. Gill and Tresvant somewhat are misrepresenting things in this interview. They're making it sound almost as if Bivins, DeVoe and Bell were going to vote Tresvant out or put him on the back burner as a secondary singer. Not to mention the irony of this situation is that Bell Biv DeVoe had greater solo success than Gill and especially Tresvant in their post-New Edition solo ventures.
@Reddbone Pryncess Lyons thank you for sharing this interview. I would like to clarify a few things for those who think that Ralph is bitter. Approximately 7-8 years ago Ralph was interviewed by Rob The N.E. Historian and the 9 part interview was posted on TH-cam,unfortunately he has taken it down but I listened to it in totality at least 10xs. It was truly enlightening and truly inspiring. What I learned from it was that for a very long time Ronnie,Ricky,and Mike were the catalyst for Bobby leaving and subsequently bullying Ralph. Ralph spoke about going to Bob and telling him if you don't want to leave as lead singer I'll speak on your behalf and you'll stay,Bob responded by saying no Rizz,I'll be ok which in turn gave birth to the "King of Stage" album. During Bobby's absence BBD felt compelled to harass Ralph to the point of him calling home to his mom in tears because he felt isolated. This is what led to him creating "Living In A Dream" which was never released. When Mike sought Johnny for the Heart Break album MCA made it clear that another N.E. album would not be made because Ralph was still the "Voice",so Mike's plan would not have come to fruition anyway and had to humble himself. As a matter of fact Bobby's whole style on the "Dont Be Cruel" album came from Ralph,which is why Ralph then took on the sensitive approach. I can totally understand why Ralph is now at the age of 50 tired of putting everyone first. That's not bitterness, that's exhaustion. Let me add that on the Breakfast Club interview BBD in on breath stated that the movie was factual,and that they sat down with the producers and writers to make it authentic,but in the next they say they don't know how true Ralph's storyline is as far as Maurice Starr offering him a solo gig. That's major shade,and I don't blame Ralph for not making amends. As much as I love New Edition, they have given us 40 years of great music and entertainment, so if this is the end,they owe us nothing else and I totally understand.
FINALLY someone feel as I do!! Thank you @Jeffrey for this comment. I wasn't aware of some of what you said but some I am. I 1000% agree with you. From my knowledge and what I see, NO it's NOT bitterness on Ralph's part. I just spoke to someone the other day and my exact words were, "Ralph has to be exhausted with holding down grown azz kids, putting himself on the back burner to make sure everyone else is good while living in misery". Rizz is the type of personality that makes sure EVERYONE around him is good before him. I'm so happy he's FINALLY thinking of him first. I've said multiple times..."I love NE but if they never get back together again, I'm fine with that. They have given us "them" since 1978/83 and is NOT obligated to give us anything else. Sadly, fans feel the guys are obligated to give because they want to see NE.... neglecting the thought/fact that these guys are human and have problems like any other person. Allow the fellas to get themselves together in whatever way needed and if the fellas come back together, fine.... if not, Appreciate and respect what they've given us and support whatever they present whether it's as a solo or a group. Again, thank you for your comment
Agree 1000%. Then recently Ronnie goes on The Breakfast Club and throws Ralph under the bus by saying he won't answer his calls. This caused the audience once again start calling Ralph bitter. He failed to mention WHY Ralph isn't answering their calls. Truth be told, If the people knew the reason they would all agree that Ralph is 1000% right in feeling the way he feels and then some!
Yes I remember that interview on TH-cam as well. It was Very enlightening. I wonder why the guy took it down. Maybe someone’s camp wanted it removed. Ralph goes in so much detail into his story. He talks about everytime he was on stage and he was having his moment Bell DeVoe, and Bivins would hate on him. He also tells a story about how they treated him at the American Music Awards. And yeah Ralph actually giving Bobby his style that he created with 2 dancers that Bobby used for Don’t be Cruel. It was a great interview. That’s why I was kind of disappointment with the movie . But Of course the movie is a compromise of all of there stories consolidated. So everyone’s vantage point has to be merged into one story for it to makes sense. So it is up to the writers for which vantage point can to use to make the most impact for tv.
@Reddbone Pryncess Lyons Thank you sooooooo much for sharing this interview with us. I must say that this here is the interview of ALL interviews. I have always had mad love and respect for Ralph “Rizz” for his maturity and humbleness since (1983) growing up with him and the other NE fellas. (I’m just a couple years younger than them). But the way this tasteful interview displayed, I must applaud 🙌🏽Mr. Tresvant for his authenticity. He is the epitome of how we want our sons to model after. He showed such showmanship and has a heart of sweet purity, dignity, integrity and love. But did we expect anything less from Mr. Sensitivity? Lol He has just taken my respect to another level. I thought he was at top-level already. He is so well-rounded in the sense of style and morals. This is really what success is made of and all about. He has always been consistent on and off the stage. Because realistically at the end of the day, when the crowd dies down and the fame is quiet, we are all humans. I have love for ALL 6 NE brothers and like the others, I would love to see true and real togetherness rekindled. So until then, I pray against pride, pray for forgiveness and that grace be upon them. Now, in the meantime, let’s just enjoy what “Rizz” will be blessing his true fans with forthcoming. I’m ready. Also blessings to JG🙏🏾 and both their families. Love ya girl and keep sharing!
I love your comment... very well said. I'm glad you enjoyed this interview as did I. Finally these two have spoken and they spoke with so much class. Rizz is ALWAYS my love but JG has my heart now as well..I love their #BrotherlyBond
@Alice Corbin you're very welcome sweetie. I love the voices. JG &that powerhouse voice and Rizz with his mesmerizing vocals. And both ood their magnetic personalities. I just love them
@Alice Corbin Awwww thank you babygirl. Yes those 2 Gentlemen are truly breathtaking. They are crazy as hell, humble and very intuned with their fans. I apologize for my last recording. Security was acting up so I had to hide my camera... so the wisely isn't what it should be but I'm so glad you've enjoyed all. I record for the fans who either can't be there or the ones who can't get enough. Thanks for subscribing sweets. Next show OAKLAND w/ Rizz. Ill see if I can get someone to record the entire Ohio show w/ both fellas
@Alice Corbin Awwww thank you sweets. I'm a big fan of ALL who support our guys. So thank you for loving and supporting them. 🥰🥰 #Respect and #MajorLove
I'm a firm believer and have ALWAYS said he didn't have to prove himself. Rizz is ALWAYS the one to make everyone happy even during his pain. He kept quiet (I'm sure) for so long because as he stated, "N.E. is a group who doesn't share their dirty laundry". So I'm certain he was hurt when seeing or hearing other interviews... But it was good for him to address his "truth" because so many folks were/ is pointing the finger at him or him and JG as to why the group isn't together
I think the energy around him, determines his mood. Like family members, who can bring the best and worst out of each no other. They know how rub each other the wrong way.
Thanks for uploading this video, I really enjoyed it. Much success to both Ralph and Johnny but Ralph you will always be my favorite. I am glad you are finally doing you. You are sexier than ever. Looking forward to hearing more music from you.
Great interview. Finally got to hear these two talk!! Always been a fan of NE. It always seemed to me over the years it was Ralph & Johnny vs BBD vs Bobby in his own world lol. But with RBRM going on the divide seems even bigger. They’re all brothers, at some point they’ll come back. They always do. Much love to you for posting this video.
Each joint supply. So each member of New Edition is like a branch on a tree. Its like the parts of a body, got a role for the body to function right. Each is member of New Edition got a unique character and personality to bring to the group. Y'all shine. Know that. New Edition is a Legacy. Love Yall😍😘
To who ever recorded this, thank you so much. I am a huge New Edition fan and Ralph is my mentor. I had the luxury of meeting him twice and getting to talk to him. Still have to meet J.G. I recently got to go see R.B.R.M. and did a meet and greet but it was nothing like this. We paid $275. a ticket to meet the rest of the fellas. They rush us in, they took a picture of us together with there camera ( they would not allow us to take a picture with our own cell phone) and that was it. As fans we deserve better than that. Wow, I really would love to know what the others said to piss Ralph off when all he did was look after his boys. SMH.
THANK YOU!! Say it again for the RBRM fans in the back. Ralph has done like 4 solo shows and after each one he has done a meet and greet for FREE!! Absolutely free. His meet and greets consist of a REAL smile,convo, kisses, and his famous squeeeeeze. No rushing. All free! He really loves his fans. He is not money hungry at all. There is video on Facebook and IG of his meet and greets. Completely different from what you experienced. You were able to use your own phone and even record your meeting with Ralph. I'm glad people are finally starting to realize that Ralph and Johnny's hearts are pure and they see their fans as fans and not just money. RBRM were successful in turning fans against Ralph, but people are finally realizing where the problem lies. For the record... BBD was asked to join the trademark and they declined until they thought it would benefit them.
Jonathan ... you're very welcome. Mr Marvin McIntyre recorded this wonderful video for us to enjoy. I've heard alot about those M&Gs...I wont speak on it because I've NEVER been to their events. However, people I know who've been... they say the same thing. But Ralph, I can definately speak on. He really makes time for his fans and so far has NOT gained financially but solely for the love of his fans. Very memorable experience with Rizz and JG is amazing also
@@nonenone5525 so very true... It doesn't feel like a meet & greet eith Rizz. It's like seeing your long lost friends. He makes everyone feel loved, special and appreciated. I have a video in Boston I didn't post for a few reasons but our pictures are EVERYTHING.
Thank you so much for sharing! This was wonderful! So happy you posted this for us to see and experience! This was a great interview! Wish I could have been on the cruise! Ralph and Johnny ❤️ forever!
@ ....which will not save your soul in the end......what does it profit for a man to gain the whole world and lose his soul in the end? There is a GOD ☝️sure as real as you are, he is the reason why you exist, it begin with him and shall finish with him and every knee shall bow and every tongue will confess that JESUS is LORD .....GET READY, HE SHALL RETURN....CHOOSE WHO YOU WILL SERVE THIS DAY, IT DETERMINES YOUR FINAL DESTINATION JESUS=LIFE devil= hell......you can't take money and legacies with you ....temporary luxury= vain
Thanks 2 Marvin 4 recording & thanks 2 u Pryncess 4 uploading 2 TH-cam!!! I've been a fan of Johnny Gill since his duet days w/ Stacey Lattisaw & a fan of New Edition since 1983!! This is the most authentic, mature, non-industry glitz interview ever!! It was so tasteful & I think Ralph handled the uncomfortable topics with such grace. As much as us Day 1 NE4Lifer's want 2 c them reunite & tour, I think a lot us are mature enuff 2 accept that it may not ever happen & it's okay. U can't put a price on integrity & ur peace of mind. Something real foul had 2 happen 4 Ralph & Johnny 2 gain a new fan base from the New Edition Story on BET, leave 💵💵💵 on the table & not tour. We don't need 2 know the ugly truth. Ralph said enuff in which we "get it". I wish there could be a launch party in the DMV for Johnny's Game Changer 2. This area is long overdue in honoring those in sports & entertainment who are from the DMV (The Braxton Family, Ginuine, Tank, Sugar Ray Leonard, Taraji P. Henson, Wale, Raheem DeVaughn & others). It's a lot of talented people in this region!!
Happy to see the collaboration between the 2! I've been waiting patiently for Ralph to come out and expand or shall i say showcase his talents. Johnny has expressed himself like a class act and has paired with other class acts. LSG was all she wrote...I loved Gerald Levert...sad day for mw when he died BUT thanks for the collaboration then and now. Keep up the good work
I really enjoyed this interview. So nice to hear more from Ralph on his thoughts, feelings and experiences. Johnny keeps me going lol...love them and NE for life. Whatever is going to be is going to be related to the group. God bless! 🙏❤️
@@Blessed-tn1wd Of course... it was a great interview. I think the best interviews come from the ones that really know NE. But I hope you enjoy. Be safe and healthy
@pryncess redbone u R the bomb thanks 4 sharing ....Ralph songs got me thru a very dark time in my life new Edition is my All time favorite group i would luv 2 go on the cruise 2 c ralph and johnny luv em both i just luv New Edition
Reddbone Pryncess Lyons, thanks for sharing the video here. I thoroughly enjoyed myself this weekend !!!! Between seeing the concerts, watching this loooong overdue interview, seeing our sisters enjoying themselves in LA and hanging out with Marvin Mac via livefeed all over the ship, really made my day (days).
God bless you sis ❤️❤️ I love that you posted this I can totally relate to everything they said I love NE just like the rest of you guys but sometimes they are right sometimes you out grow things and you need to walk away and everyone gets to that point in their life time I can appreciate them way more for this I always loved Ralph he’s my favorite but it’s good to see him and Johnny in a different and motivational light thank you 🙏🏽💕🙏🏽
M Brr there used to be some on sound cloud of RT's radio show Inside the Ride when he was on the show. Maybe you can check it out. Type in: Ralph Tresvant Inside Tha Ride and see if anything comes up
I loved the interview.... My only problem is.... the fans feel that the guys should put aside differences "for the fans" to enjoy a concert. No one knows whatever the guys are going through and/or how it affect(ed) them. We should NEVER be so selfish to the point of over looking their pain and feelings for a tour of our "want". SMH The one sista said... "regardless of anything we'll support...BUT!!" Allow these guys to come back in their time and support regardless
I agree! I also hated her delivery. Telling Ralph to " make it happen". That's no way to speak to a grown man. Some fans are wayyy too entitled. I wish them both the absolute best!!
I have to disagree as a fan they presented a brotherhood and we just hate that the brotherhood seems to be going through something and causing a separation. From the others perception Ralph is not talking to them not answering phone calls or text. If that's true Ralph has his reasons and I just hope they fix it.
Just listening to Ralph trying to navigate through the NE issues, you can see that he's still troubled by whatever shadiness that went down. I don't see NE getting back together for a while. Looks like Ralph will be back in the studio with Jam and Lewis working on his next project. Finally....Ralph is taking care of Ralph. What an authentic and raw interview.
Reddbone Pryncess Lyons, I totally agree!! I love NE but, at the end of the day all I care about is Ralph being happy. I'm happy with whatever he decides to do with the rest of his life. If it's with NE cool, if not with NE, still cool. People need to understand that when people have been going through stuff with other people for years, at some point it becomes toxic. We wouldn't stay in a toxic relationship, so why do people expect him too! He has to do what's right for him and his family.....I'm behind him with whatever he decides to do.
Of course we can't force the brothers to get back together, but ...fans make EVERY major artist. Period. Life's too short. We barely got that final A Tribe Called Quest album! #RIPPHIFE #NE4LIFE
Seeing so many comments thinking "Rizz is in his feelings" or saying "they need to grow up and get back together" etc... SMH Alot of folks feel it's about music and trademark. We know N.E has put differences to the side a number of times over the years. It's BUSINESS!! When it's something "hard to forgive", more than likely It's PERSONAL!! Folks need to put themselves in their shoes..."if someone did something you feel you cant forgive"... would you forgive because folks wanna see you and that person together?? Heck no, you'll forgive in your own time. No one can walk in these guys shoes or pain. And just because you forgive doesn't mean you'll be friends or in N.E's case... grace the same stage again. I see comments about "money". It's not always about money. Some have morals and integrity and should NOT allow $ to compromise that. Just because NE can sell out arenas and the $ may be good, is it good enough to temporarily set aside an individual's feelings and pain? They say money is the root to all evil. We just need to Appreciate what they've given us the past 30+ year and support whether it's solo projects and/or as a group
@@ArielBOfficial_ You're very welcome sweetpea. It just disturbs me how "so-called fans" claim how much they love and support but always looking for the negative and pointing the finger. Just enjoy the fellas because they're not obligated to give us anymore than what they already have. We all would love to see another NE concert but if not... I'm good with that. Respect their walk, their truth but also their pain. Thank you for being a fan sharing this space with myself and other faithful fans
@b4bygirl. I don't think he's bitter or jealous. I think just by looking at this and all the other videos that he's probably tired of their crap. I don't think its for fair for ppl to say that about him when we really don't even know what happened that's causing him not to let whatever happened go
I love love love Ralph. I was sad when I found out the other guys were touring without him. I have seen several NE concerts and I always enjoy myself. I support him not touring. I also want to say that I can forgive but I never forget. Sometimes it is healthier to distance yourself from people. As a Ralph fan I support his decisions.
Man ralph and johnny really have some great personalities! And funny too!!! I feel u ralph on liking to stay home and do NOTHING on ur off days cuz same here! Just these dam TAURUS for u....lol...i remember i curse acidently on inside the ride and they cut me off!!! Smh...boy am I in LOVE we me SOME Ralph...rather u feel u got all the credit u deserve or not ralph u STILL WAS ALWAYS EVERYBODY'S FAVORITE AND BY THE LOOKS OF IT STILL IS...and I can TELL alot of them was jealous of THAT!! JUST HOOK ME UP WITH THE CRUISE PLEASE!!! Cuz I never get the 411 on how to ever get the tickets! U right about u can do other things besides music or ball, cuz am bout to get my law degree in June and trying to go for a lawyer after years in a field I hated! So all u women out there NEVER GIVE UP! THANKS REDBONE FOR ALL THE UPDATES ON OUR BOO RALPH ON UR CHANNEL. interview was 🔥...
Dria Bella.... your very much welcome. I agree the interview was hot and very classy. I'm glad you enjoyed. His next concert coming up is Feb 9th in Chicago. There may be moe tickets left
Im absolutely N.E fan for life but ralph is my draft pick he is a very thoughtful person his music got me thru a very dark time in my life I was in a very abusive relationship I had turned my back on love Ralphs music let me know that All guys arent the same....sensativity changed my life im forever grateful and forever a fan
It’s ironic how Johnny was brought in to replace Ralph and now they’re thick as thieves! Ralph is closer to Johnny than the other guys, even though they grew up together!
Honestly, judging by the biopic and the numerous interviews I’ve heard, Johnny seemed like the only one who Ralph considers a real friend and with good reason.
I'm ok if they never get back together. The RBRM tour was cool and BBD is certainly fine alone. I'm off of the NE emotional roller coaster. It would be nice to catch a Ralph show. He has always been my favorite NE breakout act. I've never been a Johnny fan.
Hopefully you'll get to experience a "live" show with Ralph. He's amazing.... The video footage doesn't compare to the "live"energy. And seeing Johnny, I was the same... although I've always loved JG's voice...I don't like when he take it to church and start yellin 😂 but "live" I have a different appreciation for him and now am a fan aside from him in NE
Monica Rance I was with you on the NE roller coaster. The tension was visible on stage whenever they have all been together. I am a NE fan but have loved Ralph since day one. I didn't go to the RBRM show because when I have seen them live Ralph always brings his BEST - I didn't get that every show from the others. As stated, i am a Raalph fan from day one so some think I am biased. My husband has gone to 2 shows with me and he saw how hard Ralph works to give everyone a super show. I haven't seen that from the others. Johnny's voice helped their sound grow up so for that I will always be thankful he joined the group.
@@tonyamcintee8402 Me too. I have always been Ralph fan He took my heart since 1983 and has not let it go. I will never see a rbrm show. The mean reason is I Love Ralph, Bobby can replace, can copy, can sing like Ralph. So nothing they do will make me want to see them unless they are reunited. Why I say Bobby can't do all of that because on the Home Again Tour Ralph was sick and Bobby step into Ralph shoes. He couldn't do the job then so I don't think he do it now. He didn't know the words he laugh he was a big fat mess. no thanks rbrm I stick with Ralph T.
Welcome to the club. I have been in like with him since 1983 and in love since 1988 when he sang to me at a Heartbreak tour concert. This video just solidifies what I have always thought about him.
If you've ever taken a business class, then should know that ownership is key. When you trademark your business name, no one can use it EVER. it belongs to you. Even after you're no longer here, it belongs to your family. The reason for the trademark is to protect yourself for future revenue. So if no one owns the name, anyone can use it. If you try to come claim it after someone else trademarked it, you lose in court. When it comes to NEW EDITION, any member past or present can own the name. If none of them owns it; it leaves room for Billy, Jack, & Steve to get it and own it. But since Ralph & Johnny, two members of NEW EDITION, own it; Billy, Jack & Steve can't touch it. Regardless of the others being owers or not. Nobody can own the name. And since Ralph & Johnny own it, whenever the others do decide to add their name on it, they can. They don't have to spend years in court fighting Billy, Jack & Steve for a name they established as performers. Johnny has even said that the others can still have ownership. That's why they're not tripping about the trademark. So for someone to blame someone else who has given 30 years of their life to a name and say they don't have a right to it because "they're not an original" is crazy. Johnny has every right to own the name like the others do. For the record, the others have stated that the trademark is not the problem. there are other issues within the group. NOT THE NAME or THE TRADEMARK. To see people still pointing a finger at someone just because is ridiculous. These men do not need (fans) trying to force them to do something that they are not ready or willing to do right now. Just continue to support each member regardless. When they're ready, the fans will get the best of them. Not six people putting on an act for the sake of the fans. Just let them do things in their own time and way. And that's all I have to say....Have a good day😊
Well said. After listening to Ralph finally express his feelings on it, I can finally understand what's going on. NE may never get back together and I'm ok with that now. Ralph sacrificed millions for this group. Finally, he's doing him. If Mike was such a great businessman, how did he let this happen? Not having the guys owning the trademark a long time ago? LOL
Ronnie Devo was laughing at Ralph on a radio interview along with his wife. I can't understand why the less talent person is getting all the media coverage. Ralph need to drop something new ASAP....... Ronnie was laughing at Ralph performing new edition songs by himself. Damn. I bet they look at Ralph as a lame. And they think he doesn't have the hits songs like them. I bet they all have made a joke about that towards him. And he's the lead singer. If I was him I wouldn't do no new edition songs at his shows. Just do your own songs. Your first and second albums is enough. Then do some new edition songs. Fuck Rbrm. I wouldn't go back to them back up dancers. I'll focus on new music , fuck them. And Brooke Payne right along with them. They still living off of 1988 and 1990 bbd and Bobby and overrated. Living of new edition fame. Ralph release some new music and show them no singing busters you good by yourself.....✌
@@Monique-im2wg she use to follow him on ig.i bet she was thirsty for him or something. I can't figure it out. They just was on the bet performance in 2017. Or Bobby must have hit on Ralph wife. On her if page. They never post together. Them dudes got the big head. Rbrm. Bobby is a trader. He going to get tired of rbrm. If he talked about his Whitney. He will do the same to Ralph. New edition is over fans. Sorry.
@@telfairmordica1775 I honestly wouldn't be too surprised if bobby actually slept with Ralph's ex wife bc she seemed like she was low-key thirsty over him too based off how she kept basically be littling ralph to bobby. But ppl say its more serious than that too though but I cant say bc they say its too personal plus idek if the details are true
Man that's easy for u to say. New edition ain't one without the other...its the ALL of them. And rbrm did they fuckin thang. Bobby sounding and lookin better daily and Ricky still that nigga. Mike n ronnie still moving like they 19. Brothers need to stick together. Why promote more division out here. Fym
Thank you so much Pryncess. I really enjoyed this interview and appreciate Johnny speaking his truth and keeping it real. What fine example of class these two display. And I totally agree with you let these guys come back together when they all feel that the time is right and enough time has pass for them all to heel and put this all behind them . Let's just support all of our talented brothers. And wish them all well on whatever path they take. Pryncess I hope you had a good time on this cruise . Thanks again for always keeping us updated on Mr Ralph.😊😊👍🏽👌🏽
Tajauna.... you're welcome sweetpea. And yes this was a beautiful interview. Unfortunately, I didn't go on the cruise. I'm TERRIFIED of that much water. I will NEVER go on a cruise. The video was courtesy of Mr. Marvin McIntyre
Lol I've always said I would be willing to try a cruise because my sister takes them all the time but I too have a huge fear of that much water but it is one of many things I want to do that's on my bucket list that I want to overcome . Don't know if I ever will though
@@tajaunathompson7021 they seem amazing. My dad and oldest sister do at least 2 cruises a year. They always say I wouldn't know I'm on a cruise like my brain will go blank that I just walked on a ship and ships don't move on water 😳🤣😂. But the look beautiful.... I'm just not ready
Anybody else bothered that the host is barefoot? Just me? Well that aside, I love this! It's like I've been waiting for this a long time. Informative. Thank you!
I usually don't say anything bc i really don't like to assume too much or take sides but a lot of ppl keep saying that ralph needs to go back and make new edition happen again and honestly as much as I would like to see it happen I honestly don't think ralph really wants to deal with them anymore. You can almost hear it in his voice as he talks about everything he faced and honestly I can't say I blame him. Imagine being in a group with ppl who does nothing but go out of their way just to disrespect you and throw unnecessary shade and has done nothing but publicly shame you for years. And then with the breakfast club interview it seems like they were basically letting the 💩 starting rapist host boost them up to shade him for the whole interview and then on top of that they had a bunch of ppl writing a bunch of mean disrespectful and disgusting comments under mainly Ralph's Instagram and everything else and parsley johnny too. Johnny said himself that the guys weren't telling the entire truth and that the real truth would be devastating to the fans. I don't really even know the full details or if they're even true or not but if it is then while they're constantly trying to throw shots at ralph and johnny all day they should be thankful that ralph johnny or even somebody else haven't exposed them on whatever the real deeper issue is
@@watsonad615 I heard that the actually problem is really between them. Some ppl have said that bobby supposedly did something real foul regarding ralph and that bbd still decided to work with him afterwards. I don't know what happened or if its true but that's just what ive been seeing for months
@@weirdlyuniquebih632 like the majority of the ppl, idk what happened. But I heard the same thing about Bobby doing something recently that Ralph felt was disrespectful. If that's true, damn. That could mess up this new image Bobby has with the people. And he is enjoying the hell out of it. But it is obviously something deep and i wish ppl would stop saying they need to get over it.
Ralph, you make a great point. But as you lift up God, remember, if we do not forgive others; God does not forgive us. Forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors. You are so naturally sweet and will get over the offence. The Bible reminds us that a brother offended is harder to be won than the bars around a fortified city. I pray that the day comes when they win back your love and fellowship and your fans can not only enjoy your individual talents; but your collective talents as well. Dr. B
I'm sure he will over time Brenda. You've got to remember. Think of how much had been done to him up until recently by some of the guys in this group. It's going to take him some time. I'm sure he will eventually.
@@glennramsey9130 Yes. People don't realize that when someone has been truly hurt and offended, that offense can put the person offended in a hard place. Happened to me. I don't even want to tell you how long it took me to let it go and show them love again. God warns of offending, letting us know that it will take time for the offended one to stop seeing it. It may take a long time, but like you Glenn, l also believe they will get back together.
Good comment... Sometimes forgiveness can take time. A person has to heal for self and not because fans want them to. Who knows...He may have forgave. Him forgiving doesn't mean we'll still see them on stage again. Thanks for your comment Brenda
Reddbone Pryncess Lyons Right. Forgiveness doesn’t always mean restoration. I don’t expect Ralph to put himself back into a toxic atmosphere with people who are perhaps unrepentant. Loved NE since ‘83 and would love to see them back together but not at the expense of Ralph putting himself back into a mentally and spiritually unhealthy situation. Hopefully, the end result will be that his brothers, through this separation, will examine themselves, see their error and make heartfelt, meaningful amends from which a starting place for reconciliation can be reached. However, until such time, each has to go on and care for their families as best they can.
Should be soon... he has alot going on. But I can assure you.... when he feels it's the best time for him to release new music... he will and it will be great. We're all anxiously waiting
I just love that he's out here living his life. Tell him he never has to justify doing for himself when he knows what he's been doing for others. My exhusband said the same thing before he left me 😂😧 Ralph just do you because it makes him seem guilty of something and I don't think he is. Probably guilty of taking his boys for a ride that was meant for him. He's got his sea legs now and so he should just swim...walk on water even...let's make some miracles happen. 50 year old goes triple platinum...out sell Bruno Mars...who I am a fan of but Ralph is my O.G. Sometimes it's best to walk alone. That lady on the cruise was just taking so many low blows and potshots at Ralph and then asked no more like told him to get N.E. back together. Girl bye! Ralph be confident and know that God gives us "another shot" everyday. I play that song out every day on my way to and from work. Fan girl Tan has to go to work now. 😂
qarsiq I think this was a cruise and not meant to be released or shown to anybody else. Just for the people and fans on the cruise. They weren’t thinking about looking professional.
Quasiq... Marvin McIntyre recorded the video PUBLICLY and was very fine that it was being shared. It was recorded on the cruise true enough BUT he's ok that it's being shared publicly. I chose to share it here because ones who see their concert footage and have ALOT to say... I thought I would enlighten these 2 fellas "truth"
@@qarsiq yes that was the intent (for many to see). Marvin McIntyre posted it public on his FB page and encouraged all to share. So feel free to share, share, share. I'm glad you enjoyed. It was a very tasteful interview speaking their "truth" with lots of laughs as well. Thanks for viewing
As I recall #thr only they're allegedly being sued for wad the all six tour by a promoter who claimed they didn't finish the tour. But nothing about the trademark. I also do not recall Johnny saying anything about a lawsuit. Let's not speculate. Just support.
It must be something about the industry because history shows groups are destined to separate. I wish it was not the case because NE should have been one of the best group ever.
How Ralph and Johnny's concert doing? Sold out ? I think most people have moved on from wanting a reunion. Would have been great after the movie, but on to the next group.
They were on a cruise... unsure exactly where while the interview was taking place..... but the cruise was from (Ft. Lauderdale, Haiti, Honduras, Belize, and Cozumel)
I hate the fact that they haven't reconciled yet so it must been something that Ralph can't let go Because RBRM are ready to unite..... They have too many Hits to just throw that history away.
I thought it was something that was in the past, too. Then, I saw the other members in the Breakfast Club interview...the Jenny McCarthy interview...and several other interviews where they were just brutal to Ralph. I lost the desire for them to unite at any cost. I can't expect someone to put up with something that I wouldn't put up with.
Thank you! Some people STILL don't care. They want this man to endure all of this foolishness AND be around a person that has wronged him in the worse possible way for their own personal pleasure. The funny thing is... he ALMOST did last year. I'm so glad he didn't. At some point you have to do what's best for you. Seems RBRM are not touring together so far this year. I see someone missing from the RBRM line up. Hmmmmm could that be because people are figuring out who caused the issue and certain backstabbers are trying to distance themselves? Too late! They recruited a certain someone to spite Ralph after KNOWING the issue! We won't forget that.
@@Monique-im2wg right and what "fans" also fail to realize is that something personal could've happened behind closed doors that none of us know about and yet all ppl are worried about is him going back to them.
@@Monique-im2wg RBRM's 2019 tour tickets go on sale in April. All the tour dates you see, prior to that are BBD or Bobby Brown gigs, that were booked, independent of RBRM. They, like Ralph and Johnny, already have bookings. Is is it the 6, I would like to see? no, but I can only respect them ALL, for trying to earn a living.
Just enjoy that the person recording was kind enough to record for us and allowed me to share to an extended audience. As long as we got the message... not seeing their face was ok
Gina...I don't think any of us N.E fans are happy about their seperation. I WONT say brake up until it's confirmed from the men. BUT I will say... I'm EXTREMELY happy Ralph is FINALLY doing him and happy that his brother JG is in his corner. Two beautifully spirited gentlemen
Ronnie Devoe uncle Brooke payne came up with the name for the group, New Edition Johnny & Ralph that is wrong because the other four members should have ownership to New Edition name also Johnny Gill was not with the group when Brooke created the group name Johnny you was grown when you sign with them. what goes around comes around .
Then that's why we can see and now understand why the boys didn't make any money in their earlier years. Brooke (although he wasn't a manager) wasn't on it then to protect the name so we shouldn't have expected him nor the "business savvy" Michael Bivins to step and PROTECT the name and logo of New Edition now. Everyone is bitter about the Trademark. I'm certain it's bigger and other issues the guys are dealing with that DOESN'T concern the fans then this trademark. The guys 1st album dropped 1983 (Candy Girl)...JG came into the group 4yrs later 1987... Stop making it sound as if he was damn near a grandpa when he entered the group. Put all of that UNNECESSARY hatred and animosity to the side and respect and appreciate that they were SMART enough to trademark the name. New Edition lost enough as it is and if they didn't trademark.... it was open for ANYONE (you, me, Tom, John and Harry) to walk in of the street trademark it... and the reality would've been pissed. Ralph and JG are NOT profiting off of the trademark but instead keeping it intact from being tarnished from looking like a circus act until they all decide to form together and entertain again under the New Edition umbrella. If yaw are true fan... Act as such and SUPPORT all of the fellas whether as solo artist are a group
Johnny said they offered the others ownership, but with the condition "that no one could use the name of the group individually, but it could only be used collectively."
Dezja Rush Doesn’t matter whether he join New Edition from the beginning or when he originally joined. Johnny is one of the biggest reasons why NE is as successful as they are today. They could’ve added a little too but it’s good.
Vonte Paige I agree that Johnny is a big reason for NE’s success but he seemed upset that he didn’t have a kid to play him in their series about New Edition. He didn’t join NE until he was an adult which makes sense that he only had the adult character. It’s about the men *while* they were in the group on forward...
Dezja Rush They could’ve added a kid version of him in the story. I agree with him. I don’t think he was upset tho. I wish they would’ve added that too. They could’ve added more of Johnny before he joined the group, just a little bit.
I feel like Ralph can't see the bigger picture. The movie set them up to be huge, they should have had an album and tour ready to drop right after the movie. The tour would have sold out and it would have put him in a better position to solo work afterwards....or he could have had a solo album ready to drop after the movie too. I feel like they missed out on so many opportunities after the movie dropped because Ralph was in his feelings. He could have done the big tour after the movie, made a load of money and then bounced on NE and did his own thing.
Maybe they should have made amends to Ralph for whatever it was that they wronged him in, to "clear the air" FIRST so that they could all work together (in a healthy and mutually efficient manner). This is the missing link to the puzzle. You can't have one without the other.
C Staley... why is it so hard to believe that it was anyone other than Ralph? Why is all convinced it was Ralph. You already hit 1 nail on the head..."they should've had an album (New Edition)..... so ask yourself... why did BBD slyly come out with an album when it was suppose to be the year of N.E.... and the album was dropped the day after the star putting light and attention on BBD and NOT New Edition as it was suppose to be. (I'll wait until that soak in)!!! The year 2017 was to be EVERYTHING N.E and NOT BBD. If they'd truthfully answer that question (which they won't) then you'd have a different outlook of BBD. BTW... Everything isn't ALWAYS about money and clearly Rizz and JG isn't all about the money. Morals and Integrity over money and fame
@@reddbonepryncess1 yes!!! Alll Mike em once again was trying to do was USE N.E for them to get recognition and blow up!! Ralph gave so much for N.E ...
I think you are looking in the wrong direction on this one. The same week that the New Edition story came out, BBD dropped their album and announced their tour. Hell of a stupid move IMHO. They sacrificed the momentum. Don't remember this? ......Exactly.
I feel that they could make a killing from NE memorabilia alone, without touring. T-shirts with all the different branches and stages of NE, from 5 to 4 to 5 to 6 members. That ship has not sailed. The kids In work with, perform a lot of NE stuff, and they've ended up making their own stuff. That way, they all (especially Ralph) has a nice cushion.
I hear what there saying but, it still doesn't explain why their messing up the groups money. Johnny comes off as somewhat difficult to deal with and possibly could be argumentative.
Neither of these guys are the reason for the delay. Johnny left a detailed letter on IG. Go read it and get a better understanding of the situation. Have a blessed morning.
@#TEAM TRUMP They aren't. Everything about this interview was positive and unproblematic. Can't say the same for the interviews from the other guys. Thus giving you an ideal of where the problem is.
@@jaslenelove7008 I've read the letter and get the point he was trying to convey with it. That being said, it still doesn't explain the why 5 other people (I'm including Brook) seemed be aware of this golden opportunity to ride the wave of their outstanding and groundbreaking movie and push the brand of New Edition for the greater good of all involved. It's bad business plain and simple!!! And also shows why it has taken so long for them to get their just do as the legends they truly are. Bad business = Missed opportunities = Complicated Legacy.
@@jaslenelove7008 Not necessarily, It's been well documented that Mike and Johnny have had their differences as it pertains to business. I believe that may be central to the issues they having. that being said though, it seems by his own testimony that Ralph has been the one most affected by this because of lack of financial security. Using this New platform provided by the NE Resurgence would be a great way for Ralph to right the wrongs and missed opportunities from his past and really get credit he deserves as the voice of the Legendary New Edition i.e. Mick Jagger (Rolling Stones) Michael Jackson( Jackson 5). Now is the time! Time out for allowing personal disagreements stop progress. They need someone to help them get through their issues so everyone can eat.
Reddbone Pryncess Lyons nope, I honestly don’t care about any of their personal issues just the music 😊 So when I see this ridiculous behavior coming from both sides, more so pettiness on JG and RT’s part and tmi on BBD and B Browns part. RBRM is only a thing because they want to feed their families but these two didn’t want to tour NE which is okay. So then they do their own less successful version of a tour? With Ralph looking goofy as hell performing if it isn’t love by himself because he wants to prove he’s the “voice of NE”? Pure bitterness.
@@dae2428 When Ralph wanted to feed his family, after the movie, BBD didn't want to tour as NE. They wanted to tour as BBD and they did. Once again, tossed him to the side. Less successful and looking goofy according to who??? Ralph does not need to prove anything, he is and has been the voice of NE for 40 years. Fast forward 2022, 30 city tour, with Ralph leading, dancing and singing. Catch up. BBD pure JEALOUSY!!
When you have something to say... it's ok. Fans have been asking "why is JG & Rizz not replying to allegations (for better use of a word)" Now he speaks and you say he's long winded 🤣😂 Boy I tell you...NE fans are something else
In my personal opinion, I believe Johnny is the number 1 reason why there has not been NE Reunion. How can the last member brought in be the owner of the the name?!? He's not even an original member but feels because he and Ralph bought the name of NE , they should get payed more?!? That's not right. Period.
Johnny has only owned the NE for a few year. If the others, especially the "so called" business man, Mike Bivens, had ANY "business sense" at all, he would have secured the New Edition name in the 80s or 90s. He didn't. None of them did. So don't blame Johnny. My guess is, the other 3 could never keep enough money in their hands to pay to get anything in their name
@@calhounsista6491 exactly! If he was such a great businessman, this should have been the first priority. They should be thanking Ralph and Johnny for doing it. Besides, they can add their names in ownership if they choose to.
@@cleodraper1175 That is really NOT true. Bivens owes a lot of people. That is why he is ALWAYS on the road. That is why ALL 4 of them are always on the road. They can't keep money. Ralph and Johnny have been more responsible with their money. Also There are some promoters who will NOT even deal with Mike Bivens because he has been so shady in the past. That is the main reason why they are so pissed off at Ralph, because Ralph IS the responsible one,as seen in the movie and he wants nothing to do with them, right now. But, I think Ralph has just had enough. He is 50 now, and I think he has had enough of carrying the load and getting the least credit.
As much as I honor and respect Ralph, I feel like he always throws the other guys (bbd) under the bus. From the bet tension interview to njs4life to this. And, Johnny foul for feeding into this situation instead of helping resolve it. Ralph goes on a hate campaign every chance he gets. It’s disappointing.
Ronnie just did an interview talking about how Ralph didn't answer his calls. Ricky did 5 interviews calling Ralph a liar and saying that he didn't believe Maurice Starr offered Ralph a deal. Don't talk about throwing anyone under the bus. RBRM should be thanking their lucky stars that neither Ralph nor Johnny has exposed the truth. These men are class acts. They never once called any of the guys out. Can't say the same for the other 4. I was embarrassed watching their antics on social media.
None None nah, I know RBRM have shown shade before. But, Ralph be going in. Remember that video soul interview when Ralph was mad that they were asking bbd questions? He acted so uncomfortable with there success. And as far as the liar part. That wasn’t cool of them. But, why say that after all these years that he could have left them in the projects and went solo. Truth of the matter is, Ralph is the absolute greatest...but unfortunately, he gave so much of himself to the group, his sound wasn’t fresh as a soloist...and the other members each shock the world by adding a edgier sound...except for Johnny who’s vocal abilities were nothing like the group.
You mean THIRTY YEARS AGO?!!! BBD and Ralph are now FIFTY years old and only one of them is acting their age. Get out of the past. Ralph is speaking about the PRESENT.
If your brothers (people you truly care about) did you dirty for 4 decades.... you'd be in your feelings as well... But in an interview when being asked questions that you've long ago buried, forgave or forgot about... those feelings and thoughts come back to the surface. So it's not that he's in his feelings....he just had to relive/rethink painful moments he long since put to the past which is a normal response of being a compassionate human being
Why is it so complicated whenever Ralph wants to do a solo project? Every other member, with one exception, had a solo project in the last year. Let him do him. Stop manufacturing extra drama.
Ralph has been getting out of his feelings for years. That's why we can still go see NE.... One thing for sure and two things for certain, They can't tour, as NE w/o him. It is alright for them to throw him aside when BBD want to do their thing and make money, not caring that he is not making money. When the time comes for the NE tour, let's call Ralph. Come on now.
It's Such A Great Thing too see New Edition Members🎉🎉🎉🎉🎈🎈🙏🏽👏🏽😄😁🙌🏽🔥❤️😎
I agree!!
@@reddbonepryncess1 AMEN!👏🏽🤍😁🥰💋🤗🙏🏽
Love this interview love the Response from Ralph and Johnny ❤❤❤❤
Both of you two Johnny and Ralph are to be highly commended for humbly and willingly taking care of your families....I'm glad they were able to develop a genuinely unbreakable friendship !
This Was Really Cool Too Watch😎😎😎🙏🏽🤩🥰💞💚💙💛🧡❤️
I'm glad to see the two (2) of them together. They are amazing singers. I saw them at The Dell Music Center last summer. Johnny comes every year to The Dell. I hope Ralph comes with him. It's their time. Thank you for putting up the interview.
They always kept things between them, but they began trying to tear Ralph down, they were actually revealing who they really were- nothing but bullies. Continue to do you Ralph.
From 2017 to late last year they tore him apart in interviews. This was a tactic to make him cave and come back like he usually does. Didn't work this time.
Great, Atmosphere🧸🧸🧸🧸🧸🎉🎉🎉😉🤩💯👌🏽👍🏽🌻🌸🌺🌷🥀🌹🌹💐
I love me some Ralph Tresvant he's such an humble Man and down to Earth and I met him to know this in January 2002 a good friend of mine called me and said guess who I'm hanging with and showing around Town and he said he told Ralph you have a fan you got to meet her and he took the time out too meet me and we talked for 30 mins and took a picture which I have framed!! I feel like he's not appreciated as much has he should be because he stuck it out with New Edition and contributed allot to their success and he's the sound of NE that the fans fell in love with like Johnny Gil said they hired him to take Ralph place because they knew he was a diamond in the rough and they was really scared of Ralph going solo because they feared his solo success wouldn't bring him back!! Love you Ralph you're missed I'm not going to a NE concert unless you're part of it!!
💖💖💖💖
I knew Rizzo would start moving soon. He can't be still for long, he loves to dance💖💖
For some reason this interview and song pulls at my heartstrings. Ralph i don't think its selfish to put yourself first sometimes. God Bless Ralph Tresvant and Johnny Gill, I think they both have a beautiful spirit. I wish nothing but Blessings, Peace, Love and Happiness to them and their families. Im so glad Johnny's mother is doing better. Thank U Reddbone for posting this video. Lisa from Philly 💖❤💙💚💛💜😊😊
You're welcome sweetpea... And I agree with you. There's nothing wrong eith a person taking care of self
SHOUT out to M.r . Marvin Mc. We fans enjoyed this video so much. .LOVE AND PEACE . Thanks to Maurice Star for noticing talent and that IT FACTOR . How thoughtful,and considerate yes we liked and love the interview with Rt and JG.👍👍👏❤😁😁😊💙💙💙❤✌
Really grateful to see this interview, it was therapy for me as a fan, I was concerned that Rizz may have been adversely affected by all the chatter after that breakfast club interview with RBRM because he never said anything publicly, I know JG addressed it to a degree because he couldn’t tolerate the inaccuracies being spread which is what most of us would have done, but Rizz seems to have wanted to keep things quiet although he may have been suffering internally himself but like always he sacrificed for the group even at the expense of his own happiness. It seems he’s over that now but focused and remains in a good place with solid plans and that’s what is best FOR HIM which is what it should be, it would be cool to see NE on stage together but if that will eventually result in more setbacks for the guys individually then I’m good without it as well. Praying for everyone and thanks so much for this upload Redbone!
Chad... very well expressed. Thank you
I'm so teaming Ralph... I Love and miss NE, but I'm with JG what's right is right!!!!! They touched on it in the movie... They are jealous of Ralph always has been. I can relate as a 50yr. old exactly where he's in life. I heard all my life" fool me once shame on you fool me twice s shame on me". I understand, the regrets. How he sacrificed for people that never looked out for his best entrance. They didn't then and still don't appreciate the unselfish decisions he made that forever change his life his success and to then bad mouth him is the ultimate betrayal. It's not bitterness it's growth. when you're repeating the same cycle over and over again and expecting a different outcome it's insanity. I'm happy for you Ralph, It's nothing worse than knowing you could be in a better position for yourself and family. yet everyone around is thriving and you're just getting by if that isn't enough motivation? I understand at this point It becomes everyone else's problem if they can't understand where he's coming from. I commend you Ralph on you!!!! Just No, that everyone has to and will pay for their transgressions. It's really sad to hear him say that he's not as wealthy as Johnny... SMH!!! As long as you're happy in life; is all that matter do what's best for you in your career... I wish You continued success, peace and Blessings!!!
@TJ You are so right, they have always been jealous of Ralph, and they still are. I see it with the side eye and little subtle things. I love NE as a group. Rizz is my fave!! I heard Ralph say BBD was BBD before they formed the group. They would be on tour and BBD would go out and would not ask him to go. He said he would call his friends from Boston, and they would fly out. I believe every word he said. People will use you for their benefit and don't care if you gain anything. I am so glad JG saw through the BS and what they were doing. I am glad to see Ralph and Johnny together!! Keep pushing Ralph, your true supporters are with you all the way!!
At that point, there was speculation that Ralph Tresvant was going to start a solo career in the vein of other 1980s lead singers who left their groups (a la Michael Jackson and The Jacksons or Lionel Richie and The Commodores), and New Edition wanted to continue performing. As stated in this interview, Tresvant told Michael Bivins, Ricky Bell and Ronnie DeVoe he was working on a solo album and even started not showing up at performances (including the 1986 NAACP Image Awards).
The reality is MCA had Tresvant singing practically all the lead vocals on the "New Edition" and "All for Love" albums to the point all the identity of New Edition was tied to him. So Johnny Gill was brought into the group in the event Tresvant would leave. Plus, if Gill is singing with New Edition on the "Hearbreak" album if Tresvant left, there wouldn't be as jarring of a transition for New Edition.
Gill and Tresvant somewhat are misrepresenting things in this interview. They're making it sound almost as if Bivins, DeVoe and Bell were going to vote Tresvant out or put him on the back burner as a secondary singer. Not to mention the irony of this situation is that Bell Biv DeVoe had greater solo success than Gill and especially Tresvant in their post-New Edition solo ventures.
He is only worth 10 million. Mike, the LEAST talented member of the group, is worth 20. LET THAT SINK IN. #self-sacrificeisforsuckers
I like the way they stay low key and support each other. a great brotherhood.
Yes...true brotherhood these two have
@Reddbone Pryncess Lyons thank you for sharing this interview. I would like to clarify a few things for those who think that Ralph is bitter. Approximately 7-8 years ago Ralph was interviewed by Rob The N.E. Historian and the 9 part interview was posted on TH-cam,unfortunately he has taken it down but I listened to it in totality at least 10xs. It was truly enlightening and truly inspiring. What I learned from it was that for a very long time Ronnie,Ricky,and Mike were the catalyst for Bobby leaving and subsequently bullying Ralph. Ralph spoke about going to Bob and telling him if you don't want to leave as lead singer I'll speak on your behalf and you'll stay,Bob responded by saying no Rizz,I'll be ok which in turn gave birth to the "King of Stage" album. During Bobby's absence BBD felt compelled to harass Ralph to the point of him calling home to his mom in tears because he felt isolated. This is what led to him creating "Living In A Dream" which was never released. When Mike sought Johnny for the Heart Break album MCA made it clear that another N.E. album would not be made because Ralph was still the "Voice",so Mike's plan would not have come to fruition anyway and had to humble himself. As a matter of fact Bobby's whole style on the "Dont Be Cruel" album came from Ralph,which is why Ralph then took on the sensitive approach. I can totally understand why Ralph is now at the age of 50 tired of putting everyone first. That's not bitterness, that's exhaustion. Let me add that on the Breakfast Club interview BBD in on breath stated that the movie was factual,and that they sat down with the producers and writers to make it authentic,but in the next they say they don't know how true Ralph's storyline is as far as Maurice Starr offering him a solo gig. That's major shade,and I don't blame Ralph for not making amends. As much as I love New Edition, they have given us 40 years of great music and entertainment, so if this is the end,they owe us nothing else and I totally understand.
FINALLY someone feel as I do!!
Thank you @Jeffrey for this comment. I wasn't aware of some of what you said but some I am. I 1000% agree with you.
From my knowledge and what I see, NO it's NOT bitterness on Ralph's part.
I just spoke to someone the other day and my exact words were, "Ralph has to be exhausted with holding down grown azz kids, putting himself on the back burner to make sure everyone else is good while living in misery". Rizz is the type of personality that makes sure EVERYONE around him is good before him. I'm so happy he's FINALLY thinking of him first.
I've said multiple times..."I love NE but if they never get back together again, I'm fine with that. They have given us "them" since 1978/83 and is NOT obligated to give us anything else. Sadly, fans feel the guys are obligated to give because they want to see NE.... neglecting the thought/fact that these guys are human and have problems like any other person. Allow the fellas to get themselves together in whatever way needed and if the fellas come back together, fine.... if not, Appreciate and respect what they've given us and support whatever they present whether it's as a solo or a group.
Again, thank you for your comment
Agree 1000%. Then recently Ronnie goes on The Breakfast Club and throws Ralph under the bus by saying he won't answer his calls. This caused the audience once again start calling Ralph bitter. He failed to mention WHY Ralph isn't answering their calls. Truth be told, If the people knew the reason they would all agree that Ralph is 1000% right in feeling the way he feels and then some!
Yes I remember that interview on TH-cam as well. It was Very enlightening. I wonder why the guy took it down. Maybe someone’s camp wanted it removed.
Ralph goes in so much detail into his story. He talks about everytime he was on stage and he was having his moment Bell DeVoe, and Bivins would hate on him. He also tells a story about how they treated him at the American Music Awards. And yeah Ralph actually giving Bobby his style that he created with 2 dancers that Bobby used for Don’t be Cruel. It was a great interview. That’s why I was kind of disappointment with the movie . But Of course the movie is a compromise of all of there stories consolidated. So everyone’s vantage point has to be merged into one story for it to makes sense. So it is up to the writers for which vantage point can to use to make the most impact for tv.
Right on...
I saw the same interview too. I never knew they took it down. I used to watch it religiously.
Johnny Has A GREAT, Sense OF Humor😂😂😂😂From my point Of View he's Hilarious🎉🎉🤣🤣🤣🤣😭😭🙌🏽🔥👏🏽😄😁🙏🏽
Hats off to the contributors, who made this presentation possible...apart of my favorite artists, may God continues to bless them❣
Mr. Marvin McIntyre we have to thank as well as the fellas for being willing to sit down and Express their #Truth
Love you Ralph and Johnny. God bless you both
@Reddbone Pryncess Lyons Thank you sooooooo much for sharing this interview with us. I must say that this here is the interview of ALL interviews. I have always had mad love and respect for Ralph “Rizz” for his maturity and humbleness since (1983) growing up with him and the other NE fellas. (I’m just a couple years younger than them). But the way this tasteful interview displayed, I must applaud 🙌🏽Mr. Tresvant for his authenticity. He is the epitome of how we want our sons to model after. He showed such showmanship and has a heart of sweet purity, dignity, integrity and love. But did we expect anything less from Mr. Sensitivity? Lol He has just taken my respect to another level. I thought he was at top-level already. He is so well-rounded in the sense of style and morals. This is really what success is made of and all about. He has always been consistent on and off the stage. Because realistically at the end of the day, when the crowd dies down and the fame is quiet, we are all humans. I have love for ALL 6 NE brothers and like the others, I would love to see true and real togetherness rekindled. So until then, I pray against pride, pray for forgiveness and that grace be upon them. Now, in the meantime, let’s just enjoy what “Rizz” will be blessing his true fans with forthcoming. I’m ready. Also blessings to JG🙏🏾 and both their families. Love ya girl and keep sharing!
I love your comment... very well said. I'm glad you enjoyed this interview as did I. Finally these two have spoken and they spoke with so much class. Rizz is ALWAYS my love but JG has my heart now as well..I love their #BrotherlyBond
@Alice Corbin you're very welcome sweetie. I love the voices. JG &that powerhouse voice and Rizz with his mesmerizing vocals. And both ood their magnetic personalities. I just love them
@Alice Corbin Awwww thank you babygirl. Yes those 2 Gentlemen are truly breathtaking. They are crazy as hell, humble and very intuned with their fans.
I apologize for my last recording. Security was acting up so I had to hide my camera... so the wisely isn't what it should be but I'm so glad you've enjoyed all. I record for the fans who either can't be there or the ones who can't get enough.
Thanks for subscribing sweets.
Next show OAKLAND w/ Rizz.
Ill see if I can get someone to record the entire Ohio show w/ both fellas
@Alice Corbin Awwww thank you sweets. I'm a big fan of ALL who support our guys. So thank you for loving and supporting them.
🥰🥰 #Respect and #MajorLove
@Alice Corbin 💯💯❤
Thank you for posting. Ralph and Johnny are class personified
You're very welcome
Yes they are
Ralph seems very vulnerable, yet transparent in this interview.
I'm a firm believer and have ALWAYS said he didn't have to prove himself. Rizz is ALWAYS the one to make everyone happy even during his pain. He kept quiet (I'm sure) for so long because as he stated, "N.E. is a group who doesn't share their dirty laundry". So I'm certain he was hurt when seeing or hearing other interviews...
But it was good for him to address his "truth" because so many folks were/ is pointing the finger at him or him and JG as to why the group isn't together
I think the energy around him, determines his mood. Like family members, who can bring the best and worst out of each no other. They know how rub each other the wrong way.
Rizz swag always on 1000! Peace!
I’m Glad they Finally sat down and Did this Interview!!!!! Rizz And JG is the Real Sound of the Group!!!! RBRM gave us the Hip Hop Flava!!!!
both are my favorite and handsome
Great interview, much Respect to JG (Boogie) and Riz!!
Love this interview! Awesome! Johnny had me cracking up.
yes... they are a mess
Thanks for uploading this video, I really enjoyed it. Much success to both Ralph and Johnny but Ralph you will always be my favorite. I am glad you are finally doing you. You are sexier than ever. Looking forward to hearing more music from you.
Of course..... you're very welcome
Ralph!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great interview. Finally got to hear these two talk!! Always been a fan of NE. It always seemed to me over the years it was Ralph & Johnny vs BBD vs Bobby in his own world lol. But with RBRM going on the divide seems even bigger. They’re all brothers, at some point they’ll come back. They always do. Much love to you for posting this video.
You're welcome
Each joint supply. So each member of New Edition is like a branch on a tree. Its like the parts of a body, got a role for the body to function right. Each is member of New Edition got a unique character and personality to bring to the group. Y'all shine. Know that. New Edition is a Legacy. Love Yall😍😘
To who ever recorded this, thank you so much. I am a huge New Edition fan and Ralph is my mentor. I had the luxury of meeting him twice and getting to talk to him. Still have to meet J.G. I recently got to go see R.B.R.M. and did a meet and greet but it was nothing like this. We paid $275. a ticket to meet the rest of the fellas. They rush us in, they took a picture of us together with there camera ( they would not allow us to take a picture with our own cell phone) and that was it. As fans we deserve better than that. Wow, I really would love to know what the others said to piss Ralph off when all he did was look after his boys. SMH.
THANK YOU!! Say it again for the RBRM fans in the back. Ralph has done like 4 solo shows and after each one he has done a meet and greet for FREE!! Absolutely free. His meet and greets consist of a REAL smile,convo, kisses, and his famous squeeeeeze. No rushing. All free! He really loves his fans. He is not money hungry at all. There is video on Facebook and IG of his meet and greets. Completely different from what you experienced. You were able to use your own phone and even record your meeting with Ralph. I'm glad people are finally starting to realize that Ralph and Johnny's hearts are pure and they see their fans as fans and not just money. RBRM were successful in turning fans against Ralph, but people are finally realizing where the problem lies. For the record... BBD was asked to join the trademark and they declined until they thought it would benefit them.
Jonathan ... you're very welcome. Mr Marvin McIntyre recorded this wonderful video for us to enjoy.
I've heard alot about those M&Gs...I wont speak on it because I've NEVER been to their events. However, people I know who've been... they say the same thing.
But Ralph, I can definately speak on. He really makes time for his fans and so far has NOT gained financially but solely for the love of his fans. Very memorable experience with Rizz and JG is amazing also
@@nonenone5525 so very true... It doesn't feel like a meet & greet eith Rizz. It's like seeing your long lost friends. He makes everyone feel loved, special and appreciated. I have a video in Boston I didn't post for a few reasons but our pictures are EVERYTHING.
Ralph was pissed when rbrm formed he said that in "the closer look interview"
Thanks for sharing this experience with Ralph and Johnny
Thank you for sharing. I love this!
Love me some Ralph😍
Thank you so much for sharing! This was wonderful! So happy you posted this for us to see and experience! This was a great interview! Wish I could have been on the cruise! Ralph and Johnny ❤️ forever!
You're welcome sweetpea.
Video creds to Marvin McIntyre...I'm glad you enjoyed it
Johnny please answer the call to preach the gospel. It's all over you 🙏💝🙏
You are right!!!!
SAY THAT!!!!
I was on public transportation...Saying amen to his comments..lol
@ ....which will not save your soul in the end......what does it profit for a man to gain the whole world and lose his soul in the end? There is a GOD ☝️sure as real as you are, he is the reason why you exist, it begin with him and shall finish with him and every knee shall bow and every tongue will confess that JESUS is LORD .....GET READY, HE SHALL RETURN....CHOOSE WHO YOU WILL SERVE THIS DAY, IT DETERMINES YOUR FINAL DESTINATION JESUS=LIFE devil= hell......you can't take money and legacies with you ....temporary luxury= vain
I hope he does and the beginning to that is to forgive the real group of new edition, correct?😉😇
I missed you Ralph 😄 thanks Reddbone
Anytime sweetie
I don't care if they ever get back as a group. I love each and every member. I will support them all till I leave this earth.
Thanks 2 Marvin 4 recording & thanks 2 u Pryncess 4 uploading 2 TH-cam!!!
I've been a fan of Johnny Gill since his duet days w/ Stacey Lattisaw & a fan of New Edition since 1983!! This is the most authentic, mature, non-industry glitz interview ever!! It was so tasteful & I think Ralph handled the uncomfortable topics with such grace.
As much as us Day 1 NE4Lifer's want 2 c them reunite & tour, I think a lot us are mature enuff 2 accept that it may not ever happen & it's okay. U can't put a price on integrity & ur peace of mind. Something real foul had 2 happen 4 Ralph & Johnny 2 gain a new fan base from the New Edition Story on BET, leave 💵💵💵 on the table & not tour. We don't need 2 know the ugly truth. Ralph said enuff in which we "get it".
I wish there could be a launch party in the DMV for Johnny's Game Changer 2. This area is long overdue in honoring those in sports & entertainment who are from the DMV (The Braxton Family, Ginuine, Tank, Sugar Ray Leonard, Taraji P. Henson, Wale, Raheem DeVaughn & others). It's a lot of talented people in this region!!
Yes ma'am. You said a mouthful.
Ms. J.... you're so welcome and yes this was a very beautiful, tasteful and authentic interview
Happy to see the collaboration between the 2! I've been waiting patiently for Ralph to come out and expand or shall i say showcase his talents. Johnny has expressed himself like a class act and has paired with other class acts. LSG was all she wrote...I loved Gerald Levert...sad day for mw when he died BUT thanks for the collaboration then and now. Keep up the good work
It's true people will try and and block your blessings. I have seen it happen. Most of the time it's your own family.
I really enjoyed this interview. So nice to hear more from Ralph on his thoughts, feelings and experiences. Johnny keeps me going lol...love them and NE for life. Whatever is going to be is going to be related to the group. God bless! 🙏❤️
He just had an interview early today with the same interviewer Mr. Lenny Green
Reddbone Pryncess Lyons
Hi,
Thank you so much. Yeah I know Lenny Green. I’ll check it out 😊
@@Blessed-tn1wd Of course... it was a great interview. I think the best interviews come from the ones that really know NE. But I hope you enjoy.
Be safe and healthy

Reddbone Pryncess Lyons, thanks for sharing the video here. I thoroughly enjoyed myself this weekend !!!! Between seeing the concerts, watching this loooong overdue interview, seeing our sisters enjoying themselves in LA and hanging out with Marvin Mac via livefeed all over the ship, really made my day (days).
I'm glad you enjoyed and of course... If I can share with the FanMily....I surely will.
This video come courtesy of Marvin Mack.
Chicago is next
@@reddbonepryncess1 Yesssss I got it from Marvin as well, but I also like to see it on TH-cam
God bless you sis ❤️❤️ I love that you posted this I can totally relate to everything they said I love NE just like the rest of you guys but sometimes they are right sometimes you out grow things and you need to walk away and everyone gets to that point in their life time I can appreciate them way more for this I always loved Ralph he’s my favorite but it’s good to see him and Johnny in a different and motivational light thank you 🙏🏽💕🙏🏽
I never knew that they were this hilarious. I don't know why, but didn't expect them to be witty.
M Brr, they are very witty. When Ralph used to be on his radio show everyday he would have us in tears, he is so funny😍😍😍
Both are very hilarious... you're cheeks will burn with laughter when these 2 are together
@@almasasser488 Are there any recordings that I can listen to?
M Brr there used to be some on sound cloud of RT's radio show Inside the Ride when he was on the show. Maybe you can check it out. Type in: Ralph Tresvant Inside Tha Ride and see if anything comes up
Loved this!! ❤ Great interview!
I feel that on the connection to Africa on a spiritual level
I loved the interview....
My only problem is.... the fans feel that the guys should put aside differences "for the fans" to enjoy a concert.
No one knows whatever the guys are going through and/or how it affect(ed) them. We should NEVER be so selfish to the point of over looking their pain and feelings for a tour of our "want". SMH
The one sista said... "regardless of anything we'll support...BUT!!"
Allow these guys to come back in their time and support regardless
I agree! I also hated her delivery. Telling Ralph to " make it happen". That's no way to speak to a grown man. Some fans are wayyy too entitled. I wish them both the absolute best!!
I have to disagree as a fan they presented a brotherhood and we just hate that the brotherhood seems to be going through something and causing a separation. From the others perception Ralph is not talking to them not answering phone calls or text. If that's true Ralph has his reasons and I just hope they fix it.
Just listening to Ralph trying to navigate through the NE issues, you can see that he's still troubled by whatever shadiness that went down. I don't see NE getting back together for a while. Looks like Ralph will be back in the studio with Jam and Lewis working on his next project. Finally....Ralph is taking care of Ralph. What an authentic and raw interview.
Reddbone Pryncess Lyons, I totally agree!! I love NE but, at the end of the day all I care about is Ralph being happy. I'm happy with whatever he decides to do with the rest of his life. If it's with NE cool, if not with NE, still cool. People need to understand that when people have been going through stuff with other people for years, at some point it becomes toxic. We wouldn't stay in a toxic relationship, so why do people expect him too! He has to do what's right for him and his family.....I'm behind him with whatever he decides to do.
Of course we can't force the brothers to get back together, but ...fans make EVERY major artist. Period. Life's too short. We barely got that final A Tribe Called Quest album! #RIPPHIFE #NE4LIFE
Seeing so many comments thinking "Rizz is in his feelings" or saying "they need to grow up and get back together" etc... SMH
Alot of folks feel it's about music and trademark. We know N.E has put differences to the side a number of times over the years. It's BUSINESS!!
When it's something "hard to forgive", more than likely It's PERSONAL!!
Folks need to put themselves in their shoes..."if someone did something you feel you cant forgive"... would you forgive because folks wanna see you and that person together?? Heck no, you'll forgive in your own time. No one can walk in these guys shoes or pain. And just because you forgive doesn't mean you'll be friends or in N.E's case... grace the same stage again.
I see comments about "money". It's not always about money. Some have morals and integrity and should NOT allow $ to compromise that. Just because NE can sell out arenas and the $ may be good, is it good enough to temporarily set aside an individual's feelings and pain?
They say money is the root to all evil.
We just need to Appreciate what they've given us the past 30+ year and support whether it's solo projects and/or as a group
Reddbone Pryncess Lyons I love you thank you for your honesty. I love being a fan with people like you ❤️❤️
@@ArielBOfficial_ You're very welcome sweetpea. It just disturbs me how "so-called fans" claim how much they love and support but always looking for the negative and pointing the finger. Just enjoy the fellas because they're not obligated to give us anymore than what they already have.
We all would love to see another NE concert but if not... I'm good with that.
Respect their walk, their truth but also their pain.
Thank you for being a fan sharing this space with myself and other faithful fans
@b4bygirl. I don't think he's bitter or jealous. I think just by looking at this and all the other videos that he's probably tired of their crap. I don't think its for fair for ppl to say that about him when we really don't even know what happened that's causing him not to let whatever happened go
I love love love Ralph. I was sad when I found out the other guys were touring without him. I have seen several NE concerts and I always enjoy myself. I support him not touring. I also want to say that I can forgive but I never forget. Sometimes it is healthier to distance yourself from people. As a Ralph fan I support his decisions.
👏👏👏👏👏👏💯💯💯
Man ralph and johnny really have some great personalities! And funny too!!! I feel u ralph on liking to stay home and do NOTHING on ur off days cuz same here! Just these dam TAURUS for u....lol...i remember i curse acidently on inside the ride and they cut me off!!! Smh...boy am I in LOVE we me SOME Ralph...rather u feel u got all the credit u deserve or not ralph u STILL WAS ALWAYS EVERYBODY'S FAVORITE AND BY THE LOOKS OF IT STILL IS...and I can TELL alot of them was jealous of THAT!! JUST HOOK ME UP WITH THE CRUISE PLEASE!!! Cuz I never get the 411 on how to ever get the tickets!

@@reddbonepryncess1 oh wow.....I didnt know about that!!!
Girl did you see Ralph's new interview with Rick and Sasha?
Im absolutely N.E fan for life but ralph is my draft pick he is a very thoughtful person his music got me thru a very dark time in my life I was in a very abusive relationship I had turned my back on love Ralphs music let me know that All guys arent the same....sensativity changed my life im forever grateful and forever a fan
I, like That Carpet On Their Floors😂😂😂🔥👏🏽🙌🏽😊☺️😚🥰😁😎😘😍🥳🤩🤎❤️💞
It’s ironic how Johnny was brought in to replace Ralph and now they’re thick as thieves! Ralph is closer to Johnny than the other guys, even though they grew up together!
Looks like Johnny has Bob's old "slot". It's like he replaced Bob twice... 1st as a group member, and secondly as Ralph's best friend.
Honestly, judging by the biopic and the numerous interviews I’ve heard, Johnny seemed like the only one who Ralph considers a real friend and with good reason.
I'm ok if they never get back together. The RBRM tour was cool and BBD is certainly fine alone. I'm off of the NE emotional roller coaster. It would be nice to catch a Ralph show. He has always been my favorite NE breakout act. I've never been a Johnny fan.
Hopefully you'll get to experience a "live" show with Ralph. He's amazing....
The video footage doesn't compare to the "live"energy.
And seeing Johnny, I was the same... although I've always loved JG's voice...I don't like when he take it to church and start yellin 😂 but "live" I have a different appreciation for him and now am a fan aside from him in NE
We all have our favorites, but don't sleep on Johnny!😂😂 But I get it.
Monica Rance I was with you on the NE roller coaster. The tension was visible on stage whenever they have all been together. I am a NE fan but have loved Ralph since day one. I didn't go to the RBRM show because when I have seen them live Ralph always brings his BEST - I didn't get that every show from the others. As stated, i am a Raalph fan from day one so some think I am biased. My husband has gone to 2 shows with me and he saw how hard Ralph works to give everyone a super show. I haven't seen that from the others. Johnny's voice helped their sound grow up so for that I will always be thankful he joined the group.
@@tonyamcintee8402 Me too. I have always been Ralph fan He took my heart since 1983 and has not let it go. I will never see a rbrm show. The mean reason is I Love Ralph, Bobby can replace, can copy, can sing like Ralph. So nothing they do will make me want to see them unless they are reunited. Why I say Bobby can't do all of that because on the Home Again Tour Ralph was sick and Bobby step into Ralph shoes. He couldn't do the job then so I don't think he do it now. He didn't know the words he laugh he was a big fat mess. no thanks rbrm I stick with Ralph T.
I absolutely loved this interview just real period
Yes...it was great. Ralph have some current interviews I'm waiting for permission to share publicly
Dang... I just fell in love with Rizz
Welcome to the club. I have been in like with him since 1983 and in love since 1988 when he sang to me at a Heartbreak tour concert. This video just solidifies what I have always thought about him.
@@tonyamcintee8402 I've always liked Ricky since 1983..... Seeing this... I think, I'm a N.E thot. Lol
What took you so long???
Ricky was blocking and still trying to block.
@@tonya6330 Say it aint sooo

You're very welcome and thank you for subscribing sweetie
Wow somethings forgiven and somethings will have to be forgiven through God . There was alot of Animosity between the guys and Ralph before Johnny.
If you've ever taken a business class, then should know that ownership is key. When you trademark your business name, no one can use it EVER. it belongs to you. Even after you're no longer here, it belongs to your family. The reason for the trademark is to protect yourself for future revenue. So if no one owns the name, anyone can use it. If you try to come claim it after someone else trademarked it, you lose in court.
When it comes to NEW EDITION, any member past or present can own the name. If none of them owns it; it leaves room for Billy, Jack, & Steve to get it and own it. But since Ralph & Johnny, two members of NEW EDITION, own it; Billy, Jack & Steve can't touch it. Regardless of the others being owers or not. Nobody can own the name. And since Ralph & Johnny own it, whenever the others do decide to add their name on it, they can. They don't have to spend years in court fighting Billy, Jack & Steve for a name they established as performers.
Johnny has even said that the others can still have ownership. That's why they're not tripping about the trademark. So for someone to blame someone else who has given 30 years of their life to a name and say they don't have a right to it because "they're not an original" is crazy. Johnny has every right to own the name like the others do. For the record, the others have stated that the trademark is not the problem. there are other issues within the group. NOT THE NAME or THE TRADEMARK.
To see people still pointing a finger at someone just because is ridiculous. These men do not need (fans) trying to force them to do something that they are not ready or willing to do right now. Just continue to support each member regardless. When they're ready, the fans will get the best of them. Not six people putting on an act for the sake of the fans. Just let them do things in their own time and way.
And that's all I have to say....Have a good day😊
Well said!! I couldn't have said it better myself! NE for life no matter what.
Well said. After listening to Ralph finally express his feelings on it, I can finally understand what's going on. NE may never get back together and I'm ok with that now. Ralph sacrificed millions for this group. Finally, he's doing him. If Mike was such a great businessman, how did he let this happen? Not having the guys owning the trademark a long time ago?
LOL
Korri Marron, thank you!
@You Tube Uh No. You clearly don't comprehend well.
Yeah. You must be new here. There is much more going on with these men. Bye now.
Ronnie Devo was laughing at Ralph on a radio interview along with his wife. I can't understand why the less talent person is getting all the media coverage. Ralph need to drop something new ASAP....... Ronnie was laughing at Ralph performing new edition songs by himself. Damn. I bet they look at Ralph as a lame. And they think he doesn't have the hits songs like them. I bet they all have made a joke about that towards him. And he's the lead singer. If I was him I wouldn't do no new edition songs at his shows. Just do your own songs. Your first and second albums is enough. Then do some new edition songs. Fuck Rbrm. I wouldn't go back to them back up dancers. I'll focus on new music , fuck them. And Brooke Payne right along with them. They still living off of 1988 and 1990 bbd and Bobby and overrated. Living of new edition fame. Ralph release some new music and show them no singing busters you good by yourself.....✌
I bet they wouldnt be laughing if they were exposed on the actual issue behind this seperation tho
I noticed Shamari always lets out a hearty laugh whenever Ralph's name is even mentioned. Meanwhile her husband...good luck to her.
@@Monique-im2wg she use to follow him on ig.i bet she was thirsty for him or something. I can't figure it out. They just was on the bet performance in 2017. Or Bobby must have hit on Ralph wife. On her if page. They never post together. Them dudes got the big head. Rbrm. Bobby is a trader. He going to get tired of rbrm. If he talked about his Whitney. He will do the same to Ralph. New edition is over fans. Sorry.
@@telfairmordica1775 I honestly wouldn't be too surprised if bobby actually slept with Ralph's ex wife bc she seemed like she was low-key thirsty over him too based off how she kept basically be littling ralph to bobby. But ppl say its more serious than that too though but I cant say bc they say its too personal plus idek if the details are true
Man that's easy for u to say. New edition ain't one without the other...its the ALL of them. And rbrm did they fuckin thang. Bobby sounding and lookin better daily and Ricky still that nigga. Mike n ronnie still moving like they 19. Brothers need to stick together. Why promote more division out here. Fym
Thank you so much Pryncess. I really enjoyed this interview and appreciate Johnny speaking his truth and keeping it real. What fine example of class these two display. And I totally agree with you let these guys come back together when they all feel that the time is right and enough time has pass for them all to heel and put this all behind them . Let's just support all of our talented brothers. And wish them all well on whatever path they take. Pryncess I hope you had a good time on this cruise . Thanks again for always keeping us updated on Mr Ralph.😊😊👍🏽👌🏽
Tajauna.... you're welcome sweetpea. And yes this was a beautiful interview.
Unfortunately, I didn't go on the cruise. I'm TERRIFIED of that much water. I will NEVER go on a cruise. The video was courtesy of Mr. Marvin McIntyre
Lol I've always said I would be willing to try a cruise because my sister takes them all the time but I too have a huge fear of that much water but it is one of many things I want to do that's on my bucket list that I want to overcome . Don't know if I ever will though
@@tajaunathompson7021 they seem amazing. My dad and oldest sister do at least 2 cruises a year. They always say I wouldn't know I'm on a cruise like my brain will go blank that I just walked on a ship and ships don't move on water 😳🤣😂.
But the look beautiful.... I'm just not ready
@@reddbonepryncess1 I feel the same way, I have no desire to go on a cruise.
Great interview.
Anybody else bothered that the host is barefoot? Just me? Well that aside, I love this! It's like I've been waiting for this a long time. Informative. Thank you!
Thank u..i was searching for this comment..like wtfffffffff..where is his shoes..I know Johnny was spasming..like is he serious....
@@courtneykinsey1374 No thank YOU! LOL
I believe he got sandals on
@@garymccollumjr1079 nope i checked toes just out. Lol
They got sandals with the toes out
I usually don't say anything bc i really don't like to assume too much or take sides but a lot of ppl keep saying that ralph needs to go back and make new edition happen again and honestly as much as I would like to see it happen I honestly don't think ralph really wants to deal with them anymore. You can almost hear it in his voice as he talks about everything he faced and honestly I can't say I blame him. Imagine being in a group with ppl who does nothing but go out of their way just to disrespect you and throw unnecessary shade and has done nothing but publicly shame you for years. And then with the breakfast club interview it seems like they were basically letting the 💩 starting rapist host boost them up to shade him for the whole interview and then on top of that they had a bunch of ppl writing a bunch of mean disrespectful and disgusting comments under mainly Ralph's Instagram and everything else and parsley johnny too. Johnny said himself that the guys weren't telling the entire truth and that the real truth would be devastating to the fans. I don't really even know the full details or if they're even true or not but if it is then while they're constantly trying to throw shots at ralph and johnny all day they should be thankful that ralph johnny or even somebody else haven't exposed them on whatever the real deeper issue is
You hit the nail on the head!!
There's NOTHING else to be said 💯💯
My thoughts exactly!!
I wondering how Ralph feels about Bobby going out on tour with the other guys.
@@watsonad615 I heard that the actually problem is really between them. Some ppl have said that bobby supposedly did something real foul regarding ralph and that bbd still decided to work with him afterwards. I don't know what happened or if its true but that's just what ive been seeing for months
@@weirdlyuniquebih632 WOW!!
@@weirdlyuniquebih632 like the majority of the ppl, idk what happened. But I heard the same thing about Bobby doing something recently that Ralph felt was disrespectful. If that's true, damn. That could mess up this new image Bobby has with the people. And he is enjoying the hell out of it. But it is obviously something deep and i wish ppl would stop saying they need to get over it.
Ralph, you make a great point. But as you lift up God, remember, if we do not forgive others; God does not forgive us. Forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors. You are so naturally sweet and will get over the offence. The Bible reminds us that a brother offended is harder to be won than the bars around a fortified city. I pray that the day comes when they win back your love and fellowship and your fans can not only enjoy your individual talents; but your collective talents as well. Dr. B
I'm sure he will over time Brenda. You've got to remember. Think of how much had been done to him up until recently by some of the guys in this group. It's going to take him some time. I'm sure he will eventually.
@@glennramsey9130 Yes. People don't realize that when someone has been truly hurt and offended, that offense can put the person offended in a hard place. Happened to me. I don't even want to tell you how long it took me to let it go and show them love again. God warns of offending, letting us know that it will take time for the offended one to stop seeing it. It may take a long time, but like you Glenn, l also believe they will get back together.
Good comment... Sometimes forgiveness can take time. A person has to heal for self and not because fans want them to.
Who knows...He may have forgave. Him forgiving doesn't mean we'll still see them on stage again. Thanks for your comment Brenda
@@reddbonepryncess1 Exactly!!!
Reddbone Pryncess Lyons Right. Forgiveness doesn’t always mean restoration. I don’t expect Ralph to put himself back into a toxic atmosphere with people who are perhaps unrepentant. Loved NE since ‘83 and would love to see them back together but not at the expense of Ralph putting himself back into a mentally and spiritually unhealthy situation. Hopefully, the end result will be that his brothers, through this separation, will examine themselves, see their error and make heartfelt, meaningful amends from which a starting place for reconciliation can be reached. However, until such time, each has to go on and care for their families as best they can.
I need a Ralph Tresvant and Ne-Yo collaboration asap
When is Ralph dropping new music?
Should be soon... he has alot going on. But I can assure you.... when he feels it's the best time for him to release new music... he will and it will be great.
We're all anxiously waiting
I just love that he's out here living his life. Tell him he never has to justify doing for himself when he knows what he's been doing for others. My exhusband said the same thing before he left me 😂😧 Ralph just do you because it makes him seem guilty of something and I don't think he is. Probably guilty of taking his boys for a ride that was meant for him. He's got his sea legs now and so he should just swim...walk on water even...let's make some miracles happen. 50 year old goes triple platinum...out sell Bruno Mars...who I am a fan of but Ralph is my O.G. Sometimes it's best to walk alone. That lady on the cruise was just taking so many low blows and potshots at Ralph and then asked no more like told him to get N.E. back together. Girl bye! Ralph be confident and know that God gives us "another shot" everyday. I play that song out every day on my way to and from work. Fan girl Tan has to go to work now. 😂
Tanya Taylor, I peeped that too!
@@tanyataylor5530 Yes, sometimes it is best to walk alone.
wish we could see their faces
Outstanding interview. needs proper release. anybody know who has this available ?
qarsiq I think this was a cruise and not meant to be released or shown to anybody else. Just for the people and fans on the cruise. They weren’t thinking about looking professional.
@@vontepaige7284 oh okay,
Quasiq... Marvin McIntyre recorded the video PUBLICLY and was very fine that it was being shared. It was recorded on the cruise true enough BUT he's ok that it's being shared publicly.
I chose to share it here because ones who see their concert footage and have ALOT to say... I thought I would enlighten these 2 fellas "truth"
@@reddbonepryncess1 glad you shared it, hope many see and hear their story
@@qarsiq yes that was the intent (for many to see). Marvin McIntyre posted it public on his FB page and encouraged all to share.
So feel free to share, share, share.
I'm glad you enjoyed. It was a very tasteful interview speaking their "truth" with lots of laughs as well.
Thanks for viewing
As I recall #thr only they're allegedly being sued for wad the all six tour by a promoter who claimed they didn't finish the tour. But nothing about the trademark. I also do not recall Johnny saying anything about a lawsuit. Let's not speculate. Just support.
It must be something about the industry because history shows groups are destined to separate. I wish it was not the case because NE should have been one of the best group ever.
Nice
Hey!! This is Michelle. Please don't 4get to post Ralph singing to me last night. Ty
@MichelleJohnson-vf9kz unfortunately, I didn't capture you on video. I did record him singing to you but you're not in the frame
I'm buying
46:44 Ralph is sexy that's it. I'm done.
lol...yes he is
How Ralph and Johnny's concert doing? Sold out ? I think most people have moved on from wanting a reunion. Would have been great after the movie, but on to the next group.
When did they have this cruise and where are the men...we are NE fans too...lol
Jan 2019 cruise
What city are they in?
They're on a cruise.
They were on a cruise... unsure exactly where while the interview was taking place..... but the cruise was from (Ft. Lauderdale, Haiti, Honduras, Belize, and Cozumel)
@@reddbonepryncess1 Who Was On That Lineup
I hate the fact that they haven't reconciled yet so it must been something that Ralph can't let go Because RBRM are ready to unite..... They have too many Hits to just throw that history away.
The people who have caused the hurt are ALWAYS ready to unite. They aren't the ones hurting. Different story for the one that has been hurt.
I thought it was something that was in the past, too. Then, I saw the other members in the Breakfast Club interview...the Jenny McCarthy interview...and several other interviews where they were just brutal to Ralph. I lost the desire for them to unite at any cost. I can't expect someone to put up with something that I wouldn't put up with.
Thank you! Some people STILL don't care. They want this man to endure all of this foolishness AND be around a person that has wronged him in the worse possible way for their own personal pleasure. The funny thing is... he ALMOST did last year. I'm so glad he didn't. At some point you have to do what's best for you. Seems RBRM are not touring together so far this year. I see someone missing from the RBRM line up. Hmmmmm could that be because people are figuring out who caused the issue and certain backstabbers are trying to distance themselves? Too late! They recruited a certain someone to spite Ralph after KNOWING the issue! We won't forget that.
@@Monique-im2wg right and what "fans" also fail to realize is that something personal could've happened behind closed doors that none of us know about and yet all ppl are worried about is him going back to them.
@@Monique-im2wg RBRM's 2019 tour tickets go on sale in April. All the tour dates you see, prior to that are BBD or Bobby Brown gigs, that were booked, independent of RBRM. They, like Ralph and Johnny, already have bookings. Is is it the 6, I would like to see? no, but I can only respect them ALL, for trying to earn a living.
OMG. LIBERIA.
Whoever recorded this video did a poor job nobody can even see their faces. Poor lighting and it’s blurred
Just enjoy that the person recording was kind enough to record for us and allowed me to share to an extended audience. As long as we got the message... not seeing their face was ok
I hate that they broke up
It's not these two men's fault.
Gina...I don't think any of us N.E fans are happy about their seperation. I WONT say brake up until it's confirmed from the men.
BUT I will say... I'm EXTREMELY happy Ralph is FINALLY doing him and happy that his brother JG is in his corner.
Two beautifully spirited gentlemen
Ronnie Devoe uncle Brooke payne came up with the name for the group, New Edition Johnny & Ralph that is wrong because the other four members should have ownership to New Edition name also Johnny Gill was not with the group when Brooke created the group name Johnny you was grown when you sign with them. what goes around comes around .
Then that's why we can see and now understand why the boys didn't make any money in their earlier years. Brooke (although he wasn't a manager) wasn't on it then to protect the name so we shouldn't have expected him nor the "business savvy" Michael Bivins to step and PROTECT the name and logo of New Edition now.
Everyone is bitter about the Trademark. I'm certain it's bigger and other issues the guys are dealing with that DOESN'T concern the fans then this trademark.
The guys 1st album dropped 1983 (Candy Girl)...JG came into the group 4yrs later 1987... Stop making it sound as if he was damn near a grandpa when he entered the group.
Put all of that UNNECESSARY hatred and animosity to the side and respect and appreciate that they were SMART enough to trademark the name.
New Edition lost enough as it is and if they didn't trademark.... it was open for ANYONE (you, me, Tom, John and Harry) to walk in of the street trademark it... and the reality would've been pissed.
Ralph and JG are NOT profiting off of the trademark but instead keeping it intact from being tarnished from looking like a circus act until they all decide to form together and entertain again under the New Edition umbrella.
If yaw are true fan... Act as such and SUPPORT all of the fellas whether as solo artist are a group
Johnny said they offered the others ownership, but with the condition "that no one could use the name of the group individually, but it could only be used collectively."
Johnny is wondering why he didn’t get a little? Even though the movie is called the new edition story and he didn’t join until he was a grown man...?
Dezja Rush Doesn’t matter whether he join New Edition from the beginning or when he originally joined. Johnny is one of the biggest reasons why NE is as successful as they are today. They could’ve added a little too but it’s good.
Vonte Paige I agree that Johnny is a big reason for NE’s success but he seemed upset that he didn’t have a kid to play him in their series about New Edition. He didn’t join NE until he was an adult which makes sense that he only had the adult character. It’s about the men *while* they were in the group on forward...
Dezja Rush They could’ve added a kid version of him in the story. I agree with him. I don’t think he was upset tho. I wish they would’ve added that too. They could’ve added more of Johnny before he joined the group, just a little bit.
Vonte Paige for what? He wasn’t in NE at the time and the movie was about New Edition.
Dezja Rush Because I would have loved to see that personally, that’s why?
I feel like Ralph can't see the bigger picture. The movie set them up to be huge, they should have had an album and tour ready to drop right after the movie. The tour would have sold out and it would have put him in a better position to solo work afterwards....or he could have had a solo album ready to drop after the movie too. I feel like they missed out on so many opportunities after the movie dropped because Ralph was in his feelings. He could have done the big tour after the movie, made a load of money and then bounced on NE and did his own thing.
Maybe they should have made amends to Ralph for whatever it was that they wronged him in, to "clear the air" FIRST so that they could all work together (in a healthy and mutually efficient manner). This is the missing link to the puzzle. You can't have one without the other.
C Staley... why is it so hard to believe that it was anyone other than Ralph? Why is all convinced it was Ralph.
You already hit 1 nail on the head..."they should've had an album (New Edition).....
so ask yourself... why did BBD slyly come out with an album when it was suppose to be the year of N.E.... and the album was dropped the day after the star putting light and attention on BBD and NOT New Edition as it was suppose to be.
(I'll wait until that soak in)!!!
The year 2017 was to be EVERYTHING N.E and NOT BBD.
If they'd truthfully answer that question (which they won't) then you'd have a different outlook of BBD.
BTW... Everything isn't ALWAYS about money and clearly Rizz and JG isn't all about the money. Morals and Integrity over money and fame
@@reddbonepryncess1 yes!!! Alll Mike em once again was trying to do was USE N.E for them to get recognition and blow up!! Ralph gave so much for N.E ...
I think you are looking in the wrong direction on this one. The same week that the New Edition story came out, BBD dropped their album and announced their tour. Hell of a stupid move IMHO. They sacrificed the momentum. Don't remember this? ......Exactly.
I feel that they could make a killing from NE memorabilia alone, without touring. T-shirts with all the different branches and stages of NE, from 5 to 4 to 5 to 6 members. That ship has not sailed. The kids In work with, perform a lot of NE stuff, and they've ended up making their own stuff. That way, they all (especially Ralph) has a nice cushion.
Money is the root of all evil!!
the 'Love' of it
Nobody said anything about money. Pay attention.
I hear what there saying but, it still doesn't explain why their messing up the groups money. Johnny comes off as somewhat difficult to deal with and possibly could be argumentative.
Neither of these guys are the reason for the delay. Johnny left a detailed letter on IG. Go read it and get a better understanding of the situation. Have a blessed morning.
@#TEAM TRUMP They aren't. Everything about this interview was positive and unproblematic. Can't say the same for the interviews from the other guys. Thus giving you an ideal of where the problem is.
@@jaslenelove7008 I've read the letter and get the point he was trying to convey with it. That being said, it still doesn't explain the why 5 other people (I'm including Brook) seemed be aware of this golden opportunity to ride the wave of their outstanding and groundbreaking movie and push the brand of New Edition for the greater good of all involved. It's bad business plain and simple!!!
And also shows why it has taken so long for them to get their just do as the legends they truly are.
Bad business = Missed opportunities = Complicated Legacy.
They say the real problem would be devastating to NE fans and that the trademark was never the issue
@@jaslenelove7008 Not necessarily, It's been well documented that Mike and Johnny have had their differences as it pertains to business. I believe that may be central to the issues they having. that being said though, it seems by his own testimony that Ralph has been the one most affected by this because of lack of financial security. Using this New platform provided by the NE Resurgence would be a great way for Ralph to right the wrongs and missed opportunities from his past and really get credit he deserves as the voice of the Legendary New Edition i.e. Mick Jagger (Rolling Stones) Michael Jackson( Jackson 5). Now is the time!
Time out for allowing personal disagreements stop progress. They need someone to help them get through their issues so everyone can eat.
This all just rubs me the wrong way...
Dezja Rush I see what you did there but why tho?
Why because you're now hearing these guys "truth"
Reddbone Pryncess Lyons nope, I honestly don’t care about any of their personal issues just the music 😊 So when I see this ridiculous behavior coming from both sides, more so pettiness on JG and RT’s part and tmi on BBD and B Browns part. RBRM is only a thing because they want to feed their families but these two didn’t want to tour NE which is okay. So then they do their own less successful version of a tour? With Ralph looking goofy as hell performing if it isn’t love by himself because he wants to prove he’s the “voice of NE”? Pure bitterness.
Dezja Rush How is Ralph and Johnny being petty?
@@dae2428 When Ralph wanted to feed his family, after the movie, BBD didn't want to tour as NE. They wanted to tour as BBD and they did. Once again, tossed him to the side. Less successful and looking goofy according to who??? Ralph does not need to prove anything, he is and has been the voice of NE for 40 years. Fast forward 2022, 30 city tour, with Ralph leading, dancing and singing. Catch up. BBD pure JEALOUSY!!
Johnny long winded af
I thought it was just me. Good LORD, he can talk.
When you have something to say... it's ok.
Fans have been asking "why is JG & Rizz not replying to allegations (for better use of a word)"
Now he speaks and you say he's long winded 🤣😂
Boy I tell you...NE fans are something else
Reddbone Pryncess Lyons what did he say? Ralph was the one saying stuff. Johnny was just rambling.
@@damondgreenwood6672 aside from his comedic side because JG is a very fun and humorous dude.... but he spoke his "truth"as well
He's always been. I wouldn't change it either.😂
In my personal opinion, I believe Johnny is the number 1 reason why there has not been NE Reunion. How can the last member brought in be the owner of the the name?!? He's not even an original member but feels because he and Ralph bought the name of NE , they should get payed more?!? That's not right. Period.
Johnny has only owned the NE for a few year. If the others, especially the "so called" business man, Mike Bivens, had ANY "business sense" at all, he would have secured the New Edition name in the 80s or 90s. He didn't. None of them did. So don't blame Johnny. My guess is, the other 3 could never keep enough money in their hands to pay to get anything in their name
@@calhounsista6491 exactly! If he was such a great businessman, this should have been the first priority. They should be thanking Ralph and Johnny for doing it. Besides, they can add their names in ownership if they choose to.
@@calhounsista6491 for the record, Michael Bivins' net worth is more than the other 5 combined. You make a great point though. 👍
@@cleodraper1175 That is really NOT true. Bivens owes a lot of people. That is why he is ALWAYS on the road. That is why ALL 4 of them are always on the road. They can't keep money. Ralph and Johnny have been more responsible with their money. Also There are some promoters who will NOT even deal with Mike Bivens because he has been so shady in the past. That is the main reason why they are so pissed off at Ralph, because Ralph IS the responsible one,as seen in the movie and he wants nothing to do with them, right now. But, I think Ralph has just had enough. He is 50 now, and I think he has had enough of carrying the load and getting the least credit.
Brian Edwards He’s not the reason. And there has been plenty of NE reunions.
As much as I honor and respect Ralph, I feel like he always throws the other guys (bbd) under the bus. From the bet tension interview to njs4life to this. And, Johnny foul for feeding into this situation instead of helping resolve it. Ralph goes on a hate campaign every chance he gets. It’s disappointing.
Ronnie just did an interview talking about how Ralph didn't answer his calls. Ricky did 5 interviews calling Ralph a liar and saying that he didn't believe Maurice Starr offered Ralph a deal. Don't talk about throwing anyone under the bus. RBRM should be thanking their lucky stars that neither Ralph nor Johnny has exposed the truth. These men are class acts. They never once called any of the guys out. Can't say the same for the other 4. I was embarrassed watching their antics on social media.
None None nah, I know RBRM have shown shade before. But, Ralph be going in. Remember that video soul interview when Ralph was mad that they were asking bbd questions? He acted so uncomfortable with there success. And as far as the liar part. That wasn’t cool of them. But, why say that after all these years that he could have left them in the projects and went solo. Truth of the matter is, Ralph is the absolute greatest...but unfortunately, he gave so much of himself to the group, his sound wasn’t fresh as a soloist...and the other members each shock the world by adding a edgier sound...except for Johnny who’s vocal abilities were nothing like the group.
You mean THIRTY YEARS AGO?!!! BBD and Ralph are now FIFTY years old and only one of them is acting their age. Get out of the past. Ralph is speaking about the PRESENT.
None None anytime I Her the others talk, they honor Ralph and Johnny
Calling someone a liar is not honoring. Good day.
Ralph u gotta get out your feelings...get NE back together
If your brothers (people you truly care about) did you dirty for 4 decades.... you'd be in your feelings as well...
But in an interview when being asked questions that you've long ago buried, forgave or forgot about... those feelings and thoughts come back to the surface. So it's not that he's in his feelings....he just had to relive/rethink painful moments he long since put to the past which is a normal response of being a compassionate human being
Why is it so complicated whenever Ralph wants to do a solo project? Every other member, with one exception, had a solo project in the last year. Let him do him. Stop manufacturing extra drama.
Ralph has been getting out of his feelings for years. That's why we can still go see NE.... One thing for sure and two things for certain, They can't tour, as NE w/o him. It is alright for them to throw him aside when BBD want to do their thing and make money, not caring that he is not making money. When the time comes for the NE tour, let's call Ralph. Come on now.
@@SILKTEEN46 He said that on his Closer interview on AllBlk. I feel him on that one...
@@kinanunanjala4188 I feel him on that as well!!
