The struggle is palpable in these pics....from the kitchen-cut, wack tattoed skinny-fat torso and ashy elbow that could cut diamonds in the first pic...to the complete look of defeat and shame on both of their faces in the last pic (k-ci is literally doing the
) ...if i didn't know any better, I'd have no idea they were in the hottest group of the 90's..my dudes look like some country ass nikkas that dropped out in the 9th grade and spent the past 20 years unemployed and drinking tall boys of king cobra in front of big mama's house everyday

rumor has it that suge's goons broke in his crib and gang-raped him. and he lost his mind after that.
thats the reason why he dissappeared. not this revisionist "he needed timbo & missy" bullchit that dudes in here spewing.

Lol I also found this article from 2010 said he got arrested for being so drunk in a Subway sandwich shop he couldn't stand or walk straight

I went to that New Edition tour when K-Ci and Jojo was on it. The show was the night Whitney died. Everybody was in a somber mood for Bobby, then K-Ci did half of his set riding on top of a grown man like lil kids do when they cant see at the parade. Funniest shyt ive ever seen at a concert. Jojo was drunk off his ass and couldnt even sing large portions of the songs, the crowd had to fill in for him. Then at the end when they all came out to perform together Jojo was so drunk he couldnt make it out the back. K-Ci was yelling like a banshee before stripping down to his boxers and had to be ushered off the stage.

Are yall sure this was just alcohol?

Positive. Moderate or abstain if you don't want to end up like they did.
Devante was a beast, but that last album wasn't in his wheelhouse. The first album which was more churchy, was dominated by Devante. The 2nd joint had the Missy/Timbo input and it reflected in the musical tastes and trademarks of the pair. The 3rd album where the entire group was drunk with fame and high on drugs was pretty much Timbo's sound. You can literally hear their voices on the tracks on both albums. It dont take away from Devantes genius, he did influence their style, but that drum and bass shyt that timbo copped from England was far from the church based stuff that Devante put his foot in
Cant blame Suge on this one, in fact, he got them and Mary J. out of some shytty deals back when they were popping. But all of them Jodeci cats were heavy into drinking/drugs in some way, shape or form and that played a big part into it. Dudes were living that bad boys of R&B shyt and that included being into drugs. KCi and Jojo were (at the time) the only salvageable parts of the group and they had a lil success after Jodeci, but K-Ci doing drugs, also, is not some big secret.
They literally dropped the ball on their careers at the wrong time, considering that DeVante had Missy, Timbo, Playa and Ginuwine (and a couple others) under his umbrella. And while no one knew them back them, Missy, Timbo and Static alone were valuable enough where they couldve supplied Jodeci with songs and beats. But DeVante shytted on them hardbody, used violence in many cases, had Timbo ghostproducing (i.e. 2Pac's "No More Pain") and wasnt breaking bread properly.
