BREAKING; RAZ B WAS NOT IN A COMA AFTERALL. HOAX OR PR STUNT? WAS HE AWARE?

Raz B was not in a coma as reported

After a weekend of prayers and concern for Raz B, he is reportedly doing well, but did not have to endure a coma, says his manager Elayne Rivers. I am now hearing that he whole thing was a hoax that someone in his team made up as well as the recovery part. how did this even happen? Even Ricky, Raz B's brother was given this false info and he helped spread it for prayers. He apologized as well. I won't call his a PR stunt but it worked. I an still waiting for his first tweet since the incident. Another reason one has to be careful aggregating news and I always quote what TMZ reported. Read the story below from BET

"The comments about Raz being in a coma did not come from his official representative," Rivers told CNN. News circulated that the B2K co-founder became comatose after a minor surgery for a busted lip that he got when attempting to break up a fight at one of his shows in China. Within days he reportedly recovered.

CNN identified Toy Jones as the person who originally sent the coma and recovery story to the media. She told CNN that she was hired by the family and believed it to be true.

His brother, who goes by the name Ricky Romance, apologized for helping to spread the false story. "I was unfortunately unable to contact my brother at the time [the news broke], and then panicked," Romance told CNN. "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."

Earlier this year, Raz B signed with a Dutch label, Kameleon Music Group, and is recording a full-length album, his first since his 2007 solo debut, FIRE.
