Matt Young 0 Report post Posted January 5, 2004 From 411mania.com: R&B group B2K has broken up after six years together. "We've had a great run together making hit songs, albums and now movies," the group's manager, Chris Stokes, says in a statement. "The kids are growing up and are interested in pursing their own careers. I have enormous respect for each of them, and I wish them success in their pursuit of their individual careers. B2K was an extremely talented singing group that will surely be missed." The group's latest album, B2K, has sold 891,000 copies since being released last year. The group's biggest hit was 2003's Bump Bump Bump which featured P. Diddy. -------------------------------------------------------------- All I have to say is... Thank God! I hated B2K's music with a passion. They were quite possibly the worst group ever, far worse than any other boy band (That's what they were, like it or not).

I remember when I was about 6 or 7, during the height of Immature's popularity,(yea, I'm that young) my sister and mom tricked me into going to a concert with them Usher and Aaliyah. Immature were horrible. I still can't believe that they said I was going to see the WWF at the Fox Theatre in Detriot. Damn, I was so gullible..... Anyway, IMK or B2X or whatever the hell they're called have very, very annoying songs. They are not good. Not good at all. Now New Edition. THAT'S a boyband.

And yeah, it was about time for B2K to break up so they could all attempt solo careers and fail at it. I don't know if I'd go as far to say that they were worse than all those boy bands, but I was never a fan of them. Oh well, let's hope for Good Charlotte next.

That's What I Call Mediocre Pop! 84 came on, and I was amazed at how many artists that do nothing but appear on MTV. The majority of them don't even do tours. Stacie Orrico, Baby Bash, Lumidee, Thalia, and how long has it been since Mya's done anything noteworthy? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

"The kids are growing up and are interested in pursing their own careers. I have enormous respect for each of them, and I wish them success in their pursuit of their individual careers. B2K was an extremely talented singing group that will surely be missed." The group's latest album, B2K, has sold 891,000 copies since being released last year. The group's biggest hit was 2003's Bump Bump Bump which featured P. Diddy. -------------------------------------------------------------- I got this from www.Mtv.com B2K fans have a new reason to scream over their favorite group, but unfortunately it's not in jubilation — they're yelling in angst. For the past few days radio stations have been saying the foursome has split. Could it be that the "B" in B2K can now stand for "broken," as in the hearts of girls across the country, because Omarion, J-Boog, Raz-B and Lil Fizz are breaking up? Here's where you need Columbo or maybe just a good lawyer to figure things out. On Monday morning (January 5), longtime B2K manager Chris Stokes released a statement saying that the act he was instrumental in putting together had disbanded because of something B2K's rabid following would deem unfathomable: the seemingly tight-knit collective had fallen victim to inner turmoil. "We've had a great run together making hit songs, albums and now movies," Stokes said in the statement. "The kids are growing up and are interested in pursing their own careers. I have enormous respect for each of them, and I wish them success in their pursuit of their individual careers. B2K was an extremely talented singing group that will surely be missed." Stokes also said he would continue to guide the career of the group's lead singer, Omarion. Here's where the situation gets sketchy. Pictures have surfaced of the remaining B2K members at a contract signing over the weekend with the sports and entertainment company CMX. Cozying up at a table together, the three don't look like they're ready to split from each other anytime soon. Late Monday evening, CMX chairman Antonio Demetrius Brown said he's now helping to guide the trio and that they'll continue on as a group. Whether they'll continue to operate under the B2K moniker is still being negotiated. "They see the light," Brown said of the three. "They've been cleansed. It's a rebirth." Brown also promised B2K fans will have plenty of reasons to rejoice soon. A spokesperson for their label, Epic, had no comment. (What do you think of the possibility of a B2K breakup? You Tell Us.) B2K as we've known them for the past few years had the strongest following of any male R&B group in the market (see "Ice, Screaming Girls And Naps: A Day In The Life Of B2K"). Their movie "You Got Served" hits theaters at the end of this month, they released the film's soundtrack shortly before Christmas, and they had scheduled auditions for their next music video later this week. In the middle of a short tour, the quartet postponed its remaining dates on the eve of Friday's show at New York's Beacon Theater, claiming an injured Omarion as the reason. With O's health on the upswing, the four remaining dates have been rescheduled to start back up again February 6 in Upper Darby, Pennsylvania. All four members of B2K are committed for the shows. Prior to Stokes' announcement, the foursome revealed plans for solo projects from Omarion and Lil Fizz later this year. In light of the recent developments, however, it isn't looking too good for the planned B2K/Bow Wow joint venture (see "B2K, Bow Wow So Far From Beef They're Planning Joint LP"). —Shaheem Reid Eventhough im not a fan but urban radio stations was making a big deal about it, Stokes was probably saying all that because they didn't want him as their manager.

B2K are by far the ugliest and I mean ugliest boyband ever. Thank god they broke up cause everytime I had to see their ugly faces on my tv i would cringe and turn the channel. Supposedly one of the members in B2K is the kid brother of the singer in immature or imx whatever the fuck you want to call that shitty boyband. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
