Mr. X Blind Item #4
What R&B singer who was really popular in a group with his relatives and had a decent solo career has a secret he's hiding? He's been living with a man for the past decade, and his boyfriend used to be his cellmate back when they were in prison.
Wyclef Jean? Not sure about prison for him but he's cousins with Peas of The Fugees
ReplyDeletePras not Peas spelchek
ReplyDeleteJames Debarge/Debarge
ReplyDeleteJames DeBarge
ReplyDeleteThe Black Eyed Pras?
ReplyDeleteKnown as El Debarge (married to Janet Jackson once I believe)
ReplyDeleteEl is a brother. James was married to Janet.
ReplyDeleteThe group was called simply DeBarge.
ReplyDeleteEl Debarge. James never had a solo career.
ReplyDeleteOr Chico. I loved his first album.
ReplyDeleteJames was rumored to have been working with Fist Brown last year.
ReplyDeleteBut you're right - El's had a much better post-DeBarge career and he's been in jail multiple times.
ReplyDeletei know...it was my answer lol.I listened to them alot. Wasnt sure if James went by El as knickname, or which married JJ)
ReplyDelete:-)
ReplyDeleteI miss old R&B. Like, OLD R&B from the 60s & 70s. Motown stuff - before it was officially called R&B.
me too:) I always suspected El(and James too) were gay. very effeminate. Easy to confuse those 2!! And i forgot about Chico>>
ReplyDeleteRemember Jeffrey Osbourne?? Love him
Oh, yeah. And Teddy Pendergrass, Same Cooke, Isaac Hayes...not sure I ever got over Marvin Gaye. Every radio station playing something good any hour of the day or not.
ReplyDeleteHow old do I sound?
El must have done plenty of Dancing In The Sheets while doing his time in tha joint
ReplyDeleteLike me:)lol.
ReplyDeleteYes radio was~artful. Ah for the days of yore...
I said yore.How old do I sound@Kno
:(
James been in jail mutiple times as well. Sad family :(
ReplyDeleteThe DeBarge family had it rough, reported the father was extremely physically abusive with the wife and kids.
ReplyDeleteSexually abusive as well smh
ReplyDeleteAnd Kristinia Debarge is James' daughter.
ReplyDeleteThe whole family basically went in and out of jail for drugs. Saw the "Where are they Now" on TVOne and it was really sad. Sidebar: El has always carried himself in a feminine manner.
