      I agree. I have chronic long term pain in my back, and a hip problem that will mean I’ll need a hip replacement at some point (and eventually put me in a wheelchair), so I can see where Michael was coming from, and I understand completely. Shawn doesn’t seem to realise that kind of pain is really distracting at times. If only he could spend just one day in Michael’s shoes, he might be a bit more understanding.

    I use to love Boys 2 men. Sadly I believe everything Dallas Austin claimed about Boys 2 Men. I will never forget back in the 90s me and my bestie seen Nathan in the mall/Champs shoe store. We went up to the bodyguard to ask if we could get an autograph. The bodyguard said no Nathan looked at us and turned his head didn't acknowledge or speak. I never supported Boys 2 Men after that. As a lil girl that really hurt my feelings looking back I understand why he didn't want to do autographs but it was just the way he acted towards us. Till this day I don't acknowledge or approach any celebrity.

    I met Wanyà and his wife in Vegas. They shared dinner with us, took us skating, had a party bus. They damn near took care of us down there. I wasn’t apart of his singing competition but they made me feel like I was. Best trip I had in years.
    I met them a second time last year in Brooklyn, when they did the Mother’s Day show at the Barclays. Afterwards we went to a Caribbean restaurant and they paid for my dinner along with some others from his season II competition. Again the dopest people.
    People are dynamic and human. We have our good and bad days. When we are young, we all have maturity issues. So for people to consistently bash another person or a group of people for minor things, you really need something to do. Thanks Amber and Wanyà! Thanks for show me so much love when y’all come to town.

    Money often causes big heads and or greed. I believe most groups start out as friends. Striving towards a similar goal, but something goes wrong which often causes estrangement. We miss out on greatness because of the bs. BTW: I’ve had back problems for over 40 years and it’s no joke. In other words we can’t get on like those who are limber.

    The 90s was a great years for Group R&B.....such as "Boyz Ii Men", "Next", "H-Town", "MoKenStef", " TLC", "Brownstone", "Total", "112" & "Mint Condition"....I hate to sound like my grand dad but R&B of my era (The 70's, The 80's & the 90'e) did sing about love or getting to romance that popular girl you always wanted....Now today's "R&B " isn't the same ... But never less, every era has its moments......

    The sad part of this video is the beginning. The 3 (Shawn, Waylan, and Nate) already felt their group was complete without Mike. So him getting sick later and not being “present” as Shawn says is telling. I’m sorry, they knew he had back issues, and felt he was present enough. Had he been drugged out, they would they claim “It was his drug use that brought us down. It’s a business, we had too part ways.” Naw, what this sounds like are 3 brothers who started singing together, decided that THEY would always be ‘Boys II Men’ and everyone else will be treated as a “removable” member. Cause Sorry NOT Sorry, it’s not BOYS II MEN without Mike!! It was HIS vocals along with the others that grabbed my attention. Damn!!

      well on Iyanla's show he clearly stated that he knew and did not tell them about his illness.
      Think about it: at the height of their career you're falling sick, the group is missing shows because of your absence (which by the way opens them up to litigation because breach of contract), when you are there they accommodate you by all using walking sticks so you don't stand out .... and during ALLLLL that time never once you clearly state what was goin on with you? As a unit and a brand it was quite frankly in their best interest to let him go. Look, even after offering to have him return to tour but under contract that he had to stick around HE CHOSE not to do it. how would that have been fair to the others? gotta look at it from a business perspective #MyLil2Cents

Lol but I can see their arrogance. They’re an amazing group. But after II, the music didn’t hit like it used too. Also, Nathan wrote songs as well. He wrote for Case on his first album. The song is called “I think of you.” And you can hear him singing background. He seems to be the one with the most level headed but what do I know. Lol

      I love how people like to forget that celebrities are people. At the end of the day they deserve the same amount of respect as you would give anybody else and if you wouldn’t just run up on a stranger and shove a camera in their face or paper and a pen and ask for an autograph and why would you do that to a celebrity it’s interesting how people want celebrities to have respect for them and sign autographs and you don’t have respect for that celebrity. I can’t tell you the number of times I’ve been at a restaurant and seen a celebrity with their family trying to have dinner and fans just run up on them and they’re shoving their cameras in their face to take selfies and they’re grabbing on them and you know that’s disrespectful and it would make anybody lose their temper it would make anybody standoffish. There’s a reason that most celebrities have autographed sightings where it’s a designated time for you to get an autograph and you know shoving a camera in someone’s face while they’re walking their child in the school building is just as disrespectful people need to have the same energy

      @@felicia3841 🌟✨I don't know if this ridiculous comment is directed at me, because I'm not forgetting no one, celebrity or not, are just people. That's my point, THEY seem to forget they're just people, and have a tendency to become major assholes when they get a little bit of celebrity and notoriety.
      The way they treated a member of their own group when he became sick, the way they treated other people who helped them with their first album, to the point where people no longer want to work with them. They're assholes who forgot they're human like everyone else.
      They're the ones who prove they don't deserve respect because they refuse to give it to others simply because they become famous. For me, their actions prove them to be less than regular people, because if you met a normal person on the street who treated others who helped them, worked with them, liked and admired them the way a lot of these celebrities treat the people who helped them get to where they are, they'd be labeled assholes and pieces of shit, which is exactly what I'm labeling these people.
      I'm not affected by people's celebrity because they can sing, dance, play sports, whatever the case may be, and I do hold them to the same standard I hold people who don't excel at those things, which is why it's disheartening to hear that they seem to think themselves above others, which again, is why I say I don't like them as PEOPLE! They are in fact, assholes.✨🌟

      Considering that you responded to a post that was not at you or directed towards you I will respond and kind. That being said the entertainment industry is a business, you do not get to decide that you’re not gonna come to shows that you’re not going to perform and that you are not going to work. If you make the decision to keep your medical condition and the severity of it a secret from the members of your group then you do not look professional. And if you decide that you are not going to inform them then in response you were fired for missing shows not performing and not being a equal member of the group. That is not a betrayal that is business with the entertainment industry is a business. And the member in question has admitted himself that he did not inform the members of his group of the severity of his medical condition that is on him not on them. What brotherhood was he showing to his members when he did not inform them of his medical condition and the severity of it. Also they were young men when their first album came out and men have egos that is nothing new to be held accountable for that 30odd years later is ridiculous flat out ridiculous.
