According to manager Elayne Rivers, someone pretending to be Raz’s representative made up the hoax story.

“The comments about Raz being in a coma did not come from his official representative,” Rivers said. The singer’s brother, who performs under the name Ricky Romance, said in a statement sent to CNN Monday afternoon that he had been “misled by unknown reasons.” “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.” (CNN)

Over the weekend, reports claimed Raz B was able to breathe again on his own but remained hospitalized.

Coincidentally, Raz nearly cut off his hand in a freak hotel accident last summer.

Raz B, former B2K singer, almost lost his hand after a freak accident at his hotel in China after a performance. According to TMZ, the 27-year-old fell through a glass door in his hotel and sliced his wrist open, causing him to lose a large amount of blood. The singer says that the glass tore down to his bone before he passed out and was rushed to the hospital. Doctors at Huashan Hospital at Fudan University operated for 5 hours to fix his torn ligament. Raz, who was released on Monday, has cancelled the remainder of his tour until further notice. (VIBE)
