What Happened To Pretty Ricky? | Sexual Lyrics, Money Issues & A Tragic Shooting

[@emndiaye9019]

I’m sorry but if you accuse someone of being a child molester, and then you go back and work with them, you either A) were telling the truth and chose to work with a child molester or B) lied about someone being a child molester. Either way, it’s foul.

[@IrvingTransplant]

[@deronwilliams338]

I wouldn’t talk nor work with them ever

BIG FACTS

[@dashiajames1882]

So true...!!

[@Mscharisma27]

I think they knew it was a lie but saw it as an opportunity to get back at him for leaving the group and doing better on his own. They're oppotunists.

[@TheLeah2344]

I had no business singing their songs when I was a kid. 😂
