There's a bit of cat scratch fever going on behind the glass closet door, and in this installment, I'm referring to De'Mario Monte Thornton, bka Raz B, and his apparent desire to let the cat out of the bag on himself and those around him.  This would be quite a blow, for better or worse, to many careers.  Many already know there's quite a type lip about what's going on on the DL with hip-hop and r&b celebrities.  The pop r&b group B2k isn't the first to be rumored of being gay and not out.  In fact, their entire clique which also consits of the former members of IMX, bka Immature, have been rumored at being gay.  Which would only make more sense considering they're all so close and have experienced and matured so much together. 

What many did not know was that their manager, Chris Stokes, was molesting and raping them, and before they even came of age.  These were the words from Raz B's mouth from videos he posted on youtube December 24, 2007.  Chris Stokes responded by making what many interpreted as threats to Raz B and shortly after Raz B was reported missing.  He resurfaced with another video on December 26th with another video where he was obviously forced to apologize for what he'd said and deny any truth to it. 
From Wikipedia: "Some have alleged that this apology was forced or coached. 17 seconds into the video a voice, off camera, can be heard coaching Raz-B to mention Chris stokes by name. When Raz-B apologizes "for any hurt this may have caused publicly, financially, ..." A male voice can be heard off camera saying "No-No not financially". The video ends abruptly at that point."
Word on the web is that they were Compton Bloods sent by Chris Stokes to make Raz B apologize and retract his comments. 

E Jizza, the CEO of Raz B's new management said this: "I’ve been quiet but not any longer. This story is just developing, if you don’t remember I’M the CEO of Ricky, and Raz outside company JMC Management Group. RAZ WAS FORCED INTO THAT APOLOGY AND TRUST ME THIS S**T IS DEEP. If you take a close look at the video he couldn’t even look at the lens this was some street shit. But will be handle the proper way. Like Ricky said in the letter chris stokes is like a gay version of Suge Knight. Best way to say it if that makes sense. Get ready the F**k Chris Stokes Campaign is just getting started. It’s 100% true. Chris can’t find me!”

The world we live in.  Raz B is already known for being an out supporter of the gay community, but not "out".   I hope it all works out and the truth comes out for all to hear.

Edit:  Video footage found online of Raz B's brother confronting Christ Stokes on the phone.
