Just before the weekend it was announced that Raz B would not be performing for the remaining shows of B2K‘s reunion tour aka ‘The Millennium Tour‘–so that he could take time to focus on his mental health and begin therapy/treatment in order to do so.
The group posted the announcement on their official B2K Instagram and sent Raz their well wishes. Now Raz is speaking out and is going off, claiming that the decision to “depart” the tour was actually not his because he was “voted off the island” by his band mates and the promoter.
Raz took to Instagram live on Sunday (May 12) to share his side and did not hold back at all! The singer says he feels disappointed and unappreciated by his band mates as he is the sole reason the reunion tour even took place as he negotiated deals to get all four guys back together.
He also claims that he has not received payment for certain shows and is demanding his money and says he is well enough to perform but is not being allowed to.
Raz then took aim at his members Omarion, Boog and Fizz who he insinuates do not have his back and were part of him being ousted from the tour. He also brought up claims that from the beginning of the tour he was given the worst tour bus out of the group, and was treated unfairly overall.
Get into a recording from some of his live rant below.

This new round of drama is just the latest edition in the ongoing issues with Raz surrounding the tour and group. Just over a week ago, the singer was arrested for domestic violence after reportedly attacking his girlfriend.
Prior to that, the singer made a public declaration back in March where he revealed that he didn’t feel safe on the tour, just days after it kicked off because he thought former manager, Chris Stokes was around and that he would be quitting the tour.
The very next day Raz “rejoined” the group and all four members issued a video clearing things up and assuring fans the tour would continue with Raz.
Weeks later Raz reportedly had a breakdown and walked off stage mid performance and took to social media again claiming that Omarion was the only person on the tour that has his back.
Well according to reports, Raz’s band mate Boog, has been allegedly trolling and trying to trigger Raz (who suffers from extreme PTSD attributed to the band and Stokes) for weeks over his Chris Stokes comments.
At a recent show weeks ago, Boog antagonized Raz at the B2K Meet & Greet in Houston by wearing a shirt that says “I DON’T FEEL SAFE.” In the photo posted by the fan, Raz can clearly be seen irritated and his body language away from the group is quite telling.
Despite Raz’s public claims in the past that he was sexually assaulted by Chris Stokes when the group was together years ago, the other members have denied those claims. Specifically, Boog has remained loyal to Stokes and are currently still business partners. The two even worked together and released the film ‘Fall Girls’ earlier this year.
Meanwhile, fans and supporters of Raz are siding with the singer and calling out the group for throwing on going shade to Raz via Instagram where they are posting pics with him cropped out and sharing tour footage with just the three of them.
