According to CNN, former B2K member Raz B was never in a coma, and the story has been declared a hoax.
Ricky Romance, brother to Raz B, stated to CNN:
“I was unfortunately unable to contact my brother at the time and then panicked,” Romance said. “I then alerted as many people of this information hoping to gather facts… Since the source that gave me this information was what I thought to be legitimately reliable I didn’t question I just believed. I apologize if I seem like I jumped to conclusions but a coma is a serious situation and it was concerning my brother whom is my best friend as well. I sincerely apologize for the confusion I caused if that is the case.”
Toy Jones, the “publicist” who broke the story to TMZ, claims that Thornton’s family hired her to put the story out to the media.
Looks like this is a classic example of “the boy that cried wolf.” Keep looking for attention, and you will get it…but not the type you expected!!!
