Since going missing after recanting accusations that former manager Chris Stokes molested him, former B2K singer Raz-B dined with Stokes last night at the Mr. Chow restaurant in Los Angeles.
TMZ.com captured video footage of Raz-B, his brother Ricky Romance (real name Ricardo Thornton) and Stokes as they left the trendy eatery.
"We love each other man," Raz-B said, encouraging Stokes to pose with him for waiting paparazzi. During the public reconciliation, Raz-B coaxed Chris Stokes outside for the cameras where he thanked him for dinner before the three exchanged hugs and handshakes before parting ways. [Peep video here]
The incident follows the recent confusing chain of events beginning with Raz-B's videotaped allegations that he was abused by Stokes during his B2K days. Chris Stokes immediately responded saying Raz-B's claims "held no merit." Former B2K frontman and current R&B sensation Omarion stepped up to defend Stokes, who is his uncle by marriage as well as a business partner, saying that the Thornton brothers were lying.
Raz, whose real name is De'Mario Monte Thornton, later apologized for the video and recanted his accusations.
Despite Raz-B's apology, his brother Ricky Romance continued to stick with their original claims. As of last night's dinner outting with Stokes and Thornton, Ricky Romance has seemingly backed off, boldly proclaiming the reunion was a moment of "family unity for all you haters."
