Ralph was always the loyal one! Shows how people find it hard to reciprocate.

I remember Johnny saying on the Breakfast Club that if fans really knew what was going on they would hate some of the members… sad but it make sense.

If that’s true, his nephew should have let Ralph and his daughter tell their story. She may not have been ready to let the public know

Ralph is such a genuine caring individual and he’s humble

So if New Edition don’t air their dirty business,why in the hell didn’t Bobby’s nephew fill like he had to do it.

They did keep it to themselves and I guess dealt with it internally. The nephew had no place to speak on it if Ralph or his daughter hadn’t.

Family members are the worst enemies

They say he’s nasty But he don't give a damn Getting girls is how he lives Some ask him questions, why he’s so real? But they don't undersand him They really don't know the deal about a brother!

There are no excuses for crossing this line, in brotherhood. I pray Bobby owned up to this mess up and humbly apologized to his niece, his brother, and the entire extended family. That's hurtful and sick, but I do believe in forgiveness, redemption, and reconciliation, but never forget. So, I pray for complete healing for these brothers! I love all of them, but right is right and wrong is wrong and if this happened, Bobby was/is wrong and needs to own it and fix it.

Ralph was always the glue that kept New edition together. Ralph was always rude or die when it came to Bobby. They were best friends. With Bobby’s alcohol and drug addiction, I could see if this story is true….. When people are drunk or high, they don’t remember anything. I’m a diehard ne fan and grew up on their music. Always will be.

Damn Bobby family always telling his business hopefully his nephew didn't mess up the tour

Bobby Brown was truly a bad boy back then...life humbled him

Come on Nephew What in the World. Let Bobby and Ralph handle that and is anyone thinking of this young lady. Family Drama is the worst. I could Never ❤️🙏🏽

If this is true I can't blame Ralph, I would have punched Bobby in the mouth, that's too foul !! As close as Bobby and Ralph were, she's like a daughter to him.

Always felt that Ralph got the short end of the stick. I think people mistake kindness for weakness. I saw for the first time where Mike yielded his position as the primary speaker of the group to Ralph in a recent radio interview. It's as to say, 'you are still our leader.' It was a nice gesture and Ralph deserves it. I enjoyed Bobby's hit album and tour. Saw him twice -- but the dude gets a lot of credit for one album and a short period. To each his own, yet never understood the hype off of one album (1.5 - I will give him the Girlfriend single and some of Bobby).

Whats real bad is we love these guys, and as close as I am to my friends, I would never think of doing something like that. Thats definitely a beat down, if not a bullet.

That was extremely disrespectful! Now you know the older you get the more, disrespect becomes unforgivable

Its wild when people look at a music group & just be like "let stuff go" "just squash it" some things cant be squashed

Ralph is my favorite man. Love me some Ralph.

The nephew is messy… and I’m sure it was for a reason. Whatever happened they all have moved on from it. I hate messy gossip and speculation. Anything to keep the negativity going 🤦🏾‍♀️🤷🏾‍♀️

The "I was drunk" plea is BS! If I'm wasted out of my mind I still know who my sister, my daughter, and my nieces are. As a matter of fact my senses are magnified even more of their presence because of my deep Love for them. If this all facts? Bobby is a piece of shyt CM/Uncle!

Daym he airing it out😩😩😩. But at the same time, Ralph has always been the Ride or Die of NE. I'm glad Ralph is getting his due. He damn near sung the whole Don't Be Cruel Album in the background.🙏🏽💖💎

I feel really bad for Ralph and his children. What bobby did was fucked up on so many levels. We all make mistakes but certain stuff you just shouldn't do and certain lines you don't cross

If that’s true, I don’t blame him for distancing himself from Bobby. I would have wanted to put hands on Bobby. It’s just certain lines you don’t cross and Bobby crossed it!

As a lifelong NE guy" If" these allegations about bobby are true then I'm very disappointed in him and Ralph has always put the group above himself,A man don't play about his kids Bobby would owe me a fade🥊

That's what I'm trying to figure out why Bobby Brown 's messy nephew putting Bobby Brown's alleged business in the streets, especially if Bobby had a blackout and was drunk and didn't remember anything, now I see why Alicia don't like his family wow

I'm from DC. But, since the beginning, Ralph was that dude. As the story goes, his loyalty made the group and each founding member household names because he could have been a solo act. Bobby resonated, because of his antics, being dubbed the Bad Boy of r&b with Babyface's pop hits, but he was the egotistical showstopper. The drama has always existed in groups and within New Edition. If the allegations are true, it's for Ralph and Bobby to resolve. Not public opinion or even as fans

Some things are just off limits. This is one of them, now if Ralph's daughter felt uncomfortable, and Bobby continue to be insisting on having sex with her, then she did the right thing to tell her father, and Ralph should have stepped in and addressed that with Bobby to stay away from his daughter..

We are so undeserving of Ralph Tresvant. Love him forever!!

I was born in ‘77 and remember their songs from my childhood. So it hurts to hear homeboys of over 40 years turning on each other.

INCORRECT, Ralph is only singing on the background vocals, THAT IS BOBBY ON LEAD VOCALS. As for the difference in how they sound, it's just as simple as him singing on a lower note, in a deeper register in that part of the 2nd verse you referenced, but he starts the 2nd verse out on the same exact note as on the 1st verse. It may not be so easy for non-singers to understand, but there's a very simple reason for that tonal difference heard in that small portion of the 2nd verse. Further, there's an interview where Ralph himself clarifies that he is NOT singing the lead on this song of Bobby's.

On the "A Closer Look" docuseries, Ralph stated (paraphrasing) that he was upset because, right after the movie and the star on the Hollywood WoF, he thought that they should capitalize on immediately doing an NE album and tour; however, BBD had already recorded the 3 Stripes album and had planned some other things surrounding the album. Ralph stated that he wasn't happy about that as it was a huge opportunity lost. Ralph also said that at times there is an internal clique between Mike and Ron, and in the past Ricky had always been cool and close to Ralph; but at a point Ricky started to join the BBD clique, which caused a bit of tension between Ralph and Ricky. Ricky also participated in the docuseries, but none of the others did, except (if I recall correctly) Johnny. Ralph also already stated that he did NOT sing on "Every Little Step". That doesn't even sound like Ralph.

That's how a lot of men do. It has happened to me several times young and old where someone thought they had all the sense. I also have two daughters of my own who are absolutely gorgeous and I don't play about them and they're grown. I dated a man who I knew for certain that had his eye on my oldest daughter and noticed he would watch younger girls. You have to watch any and everybody any man that likes young girls that are old enough to be their child is nasty even worst back then.

Bobby was Always doin entirely too much, Always the problem one. Ain't no way I would ever have disrespected 1of my bestfriend brothers period. I wouldn't have ever forgive 1of them if something like this occurred. Bobby is a dirt bag for his behavior!

That's creepy as fuck if he did that 💩 he supposed to be his bro just nasty.

Wow. I honestly can’t say I’m _too_ surprised at Bobby’s shenanigans, but at the same time I am..that *definitely* is unforgivable. As far as the song?!? All these decades I just thought it was him switching up the sound, for the sake of the record! That’s wild! Thanks for this!!

I find this believable. Bobby hasn’t shown to be a man of integrity.

If this is true, Bobby crossed a serious line and I don't blame Rizz. Bobby's nephew should kept that info on the low. Fam being real messy.

Ralph did admit that he did the background vocals on Every Little Step. I think it’s the part where he sings, “Every little step…”

Rizz and JG seem to be the most Loyal in the group so I can't see them maliciously trademarking the name so the others couldn't use the likes of NE....Maybe it was them trying to protect NE!! Their name/logo etc. was out there for anyone to grab which made the group vulnerable. Hell, any one of us could've trademarked the name and never once stood on stage with the guys, so it was very smart for them to do so. If you think about it, when it was trademarked.... Ralph and Johnny NEVER went on stage using the likes of NE for financial gain even though they could've... after all, those two voices are the voices of NE so just those two easily couldve pulled off anything N.E. But it make sense to see all 5-6 on stage. Anyway, Ralph is a stand up guy cause I would've been going upside Bobs head everytime he was in my presence. That's a sad situation cause Rizz and Bobby was close. What ones try to hide always come to the light. Now his fans can finally stop blaming Rizz for the BS and if you're a parent, put themselves in Ralph shoes.. what would you do?? SMH

This is a sad situation. I pray all parties can heal and move on. Bobby has been dealt so major blows in life and I pray he had learned from his mistakes and owned up to them and apologized to Ralph and Ralph’s daughter.

Sick ! That’s hurtful to the girl because she probably looked at him as an uncle!

It was not his place to put this out there!!

Ralph is singing the background vocals. There's a video of Ralph stating that.

So the group members with girl children (grown), couldn't never be left alone with Uncle Bobby. Not even for safety. That's Sad On Bobby's Part.

It took me a long time to stop being upset with Bobby over how he treated Whitney I was so angry with him. I thought he learned to be a better person after all the loss he’s suffered

Wow. according to the story Maurice Starr wanted only Ralph.😳 He's the one who declined and said not without the rest of them. I like all of them though ❤️

So I guess the nephew needed some attention. Or maybe the nephew needs Bobby's money and Bobby said no way. Otherwise, why did he feel the need to share things that do not apply to him? Those guys are like brothers and no matter what happens they are always able to work through it and come back together.

Fun fact. Bobby stole Ralph's style when he went solo, his dance moves his style of music literally everything. Ralph's loyalty to the group New Edition that year is why Bobby was that successful in the late 80s and not Ralph. If he would have waited to do another New Edition album and focused on his solo album he would have been the chosen one as far as New Jack Swing

What is this so-called nephews really looking for 🤷🏾‍♀️👀

😖 Sad! But if it was my Daughter Its A Wrap. But what im trying to figure out is ,if they (The Group) didnt go around Talking about it why does Bobby"s Nephew feel its his Business?

Ralph is a true class act always on point always kept it together extremely talented and good looking!!....shout out to my Taurus bros out there!!!👍🏾💪🏾🙏🏾🔥👑💎♉💯

If it wasn’t for Ralph …. Let’s keep it real!!!! 100! There would be NO New Edition!!!!!!!!! Real Talk!!!!

He crossed the line wholeheartedly 💯

Just came across your channel after 2 videos definitely subbing 😊 I agree with you about them not airing their dirty laundry. I just watched a video yesterday about who's vocals are on Every Little Step and it's true that both of them are singing on it. According to the video it was supposed to be an NE song but ended up going to Bobby. He was at the studio because he and Bobby were meeting and Bobby was late and they kept Ralph's original vocals on the track in the background. Ralph said he wasn't confirming or denying anything and I respect the way he handled it.

No need to bring up this type of dirt. You kept it then; keep it now. I’m sure a lot of dirt was done and said. Let the past stay in the past.

Ralph was asked about his voice being on Every Little Step in an interview he said that he did some background vocals on that but not lead.

Why would the nephew divulged that? Apparently, they have made amends and want to move forward from that.

Got Dammit Bobby‼️🤦🏽‍♀️🫢😒

In my opinion the 1st verse sounds like Ralph to me an the 2nd verse definitely sounds just like Bobby ... but you really cant tell ... brothers always have each others back ...

Now I understand why Bob going thru all that...

They did an amazing tour last year and will be on tour again this year.

I think everyone forgets they were kids when they started. They grew from boys to men in the spotlight. Bobby probably doesn't remember half the stuff he did in an intoxicated mind all the time. But it doesn't excuse the behavior. People love telling someone's story. This wasn't his story to tell. Now, all 3 of them, Bobby, Ralph, and his daughter have to deal with this again and publicly. Celebrities are still human. They deserve some privacy in their lives, especially when it's very heartbreaking.

I heard Ralph did sing part of Every Little Step. You can hear Ralph's voice at some point.

Let me say congrats to Ralph for believing his child. I would have stop dealing with Bobby also. Many children are molested or sexually assaulted by someone they know. Very sad and very disappointed in Bobby. But yes the nephew stayed out of it. 🙏🙏

1st verse wasn’t just higher in pitch, it was definitely Ralph’s voice, you can tell the distinct difference in the pitch and tone. Great video!!!

Ralph said they trademarked the name because they found out that no one had owned it so they wanted to secure it, which would make sense.

With Nephews like this who needs enemies!

We appreciate all comments and opinions continue to let us know your thoughts!

Ok, Nephew. Now that you've gotten your 1 minute of fame. What's next? 🤣🤣🤣🤣

That's nasty work. You don't cross that line.

This is a great video. Great commentary. Im gonna subscribe.

Wasn't one of the Story's that when Bobby treated Whitney Bad...She would call Ralph for comfort !!!

😲Bobby ain't never been Shit! Whitney Houston , learn that the hard way! Lord rest her Soul!!

No the song was originally for New Edition. Ralph sang the demo or reference track, and Bobby sang over his vocals.

It makes sense now because the momentum was there after the NE movie so damn sad

Bobby's nephew probably wanted some money and Bobby said no so he put it out there.

Wow! I guess it's been so many years that as brothers they have chosen to heal and move on. I do feel bad for Bobby he has been evolving and righting his wrongs for many years since NE , Whitney and Bobbi Kristina and much more yet people even family got to unbury drama

Thanks and i never received news so quick the way you gave it. 😊

Your doing an great job Thanks for the information

Whitney Houston Said The Same Thing! That Was Part Of Their Problem Cause Someone Told Her The Reason Why He Was Kicked Out Of The Group… #Dirty

damn … But come on nephew … if Ralph and family hadn’t come out say this publicly then he shouldn’t have smh …. why even put this in the atmosphere- true or not keep this internal unless Ralph said it

DAMN!! This is Sobering 😑 Ralph and Bobby Are Like Blood Brothers!

Thank you for understanding.

So, what did the nephew want, and Bobby said no to that he feels the need to speak on it. 😢😢😢

Ralph probably karate kicked his ass

Thank you for the information.

You are definitely on top of your garden lady. I’ve been telling people that for years that the first verse sounded a lot like Ralph but people look at me stupid on man what Ralph Tresvant has a wonderful voice and Bobby Brown’s has a rugged street voice keep up the good work and Lady🫡

No I don't believe Bobby Brown would do something like that. And yes I understand the nephew have a fallout with his uncle but still he shouldn't of air his business like that. Especially knowing that he is a public figure.

I believe ALL OF THIS. What ever time period this happened in, you guys know Bobby was high and probably married to Whitney at this time.

If he did a retake Bobby could have just changed the octave. That's what artists do it's called cadence. Now really we know Bobby Brown. He would have never allowed Ralph to get that off without saying anything all this time. Good bad or indifferent aint no shame in his game. It's Bobby Brown 💖

I grew up around these guys and they are human. They were supposed to be the new jackson 5 but due to the new hip hop rap genre. There was a divide. Everyone accomplished their goal and at least they kept their following. Mike bivins is the only one I would see all the time at nubian notions blocking the front entrance chilling. Bivins saw that hip hop opportunity and manifested it.

Ralph hasn't spoken on this, so how can you all believe an unsubstantiated allegation?

That’s sad af. My homie try to get with my daughter, couldn’t nobody keep me off him…

I just saw them in concert. This is the first I'm hearing of these allegations.

This might actually answer my question as to why Bobby wasn't on the One Love album back in 2003.

I remember when new edition came to River Park Towers in the Bronx also remember Bobby in that basement being held up by Preacher lol

This makes me feel bad and what concerns me is that it's coming from Bobby's nephew, smh😞

Awww Bob. I’m glad they were able to work it out.

i will say this tho whatever mess they all go through they always put that aside and come back for the fans
