Flesh-N-Bone, from the group Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, said this week that he did not hit his mother with a gun more than a decade ago, a charge that led to his arrest during a recent concert in Ohio.
This admission -- or non-admission - -comes a few weeks before Bone Thugs-N-Harmony's album 'Uni-5: The World's Enemy' is due out on May 4. It is their first album in three years.
The 36-year-old rapper said Wednesday night before a concert in Atlanta that he did not remember the 1998 incident. He is accused of leaving a 1-inch gash on his mother's head.
Flesh-N-Bone, whose real name is Stanley Howse, said he was unaware of the domestic violence and felony assault charges from 1998, when he was taken into custody last month during a show in the group's hometown of Cleveland.
Sheriff's spokesman John O'Brien said then that deputies didn't wait until after the performance, because Howse seemed to notice them, invited audience members to the stage and then tried to slip out. He was arrested backstage.
"It didn't happen," Howse said while group members Krayzie Bone, Layzie Bone and Wish Bone sat beside him.
Howse said he and his mother have a solid relationship, and she is still very upset about his arrest. He said she lived with him for a year after he was released from a California jail in 2008, when he was sentenced for assault with a rifle and for gun possession.
"I would never do anything like that to my mother," he says. "Anyone that thinks I would do something like that needs to check themselves."
Anthony Hopkins was a God-fearing Christian. As he traveled throughout the rural South, preaching the word of the Lord, he would always have his Bible in tow. Folks who would gather to hear him preach stood in awe. Many even referred to him as a "prophet." This preacher did more than spread the Holy word, though. Little did Hopkins' followers know that he was a possible murderer, rapist and child molester.

Four days after Haiti's earthquake, infant Jenny was rescued from the rubble and pulled from the arms of a dead woman. The baby was brought to the University of Miami medical center in terrible condition, and doctors did not expect her to survive, even though doctors called her "a miracle." Yesterday, Jenny was reunited with her parents, who had believed she was dead.

"Reginald Thomas is the type of father that all men, especially black men, should try to emulate. Thomas was a building superintendent in Chicago who lost his job and the apartment that came with it. He and his 8-year-old son, Reggie Jr., ended up in a homeless shelter while he tried to find a new job and apartment for them...."
If he actually did it he'd probley be in jail right now and not touring. Plus you know its some BS if it happened way back in 1999 and there just now trying to lock him up. And if Bone suxed they wouldnt be selling out their shows!
He's being charged for something that happened in 1998? are you f-cking kidding me? one guy pistol whips his mother, its all over the news, yet f-cking Wall Street and politicians are robbing hard working americans and no one complains or presses charges for that? leave this fake thug alone, and go arrest some real criminals.
Wow..what happened to innocent til proven guilty. I would hate to have the people that are making these comments on my jury. The article says even his mom is upset about the arrest.
kaythi: I agree that noone on this comments page should form an opinion about the alleged assault until after the case is processed through the courts.
But, to correct you, the article does not say that his mother is upset. It states that HE said his mother is upset. Big difference!
I do, however, wonder why he ran when he saw the police.
Gomez seems to think pistol whipping your mother is better than a scumbag on Wall Street stealing using a loop hole Barney Frank and Chris Dodd provided. It's not hard to see what's wring with this country...Just read the comments...
