Bone Thugs' Bizzy Bone Discusses Being Kidnapped At Age 4

Bone Thugs-N-Harmony's Bizzy Bone will come forward with the tragic tale of his own childhood abduction on the May 25 episode of "America's Most Wanted." "Little Bizzy Bone's got a story, and the story is a little deeper than just one-way bus tickets to Eazy-E in Los Angeles," said the Cleveland rapper, who was abducted by the biological father of one of his sisters in the early '80s. Bizzy and his sisters were lied to for more than a year by their kidnapper and were led to believe that their mother was dead. Meanwhile, their mother was very much alive and working with "America's Most Wanted" host John Walsh to search for her children. A picture of Bizzy, who was on a reservation in Oklahoma, was shown at the end of the 1983 TV movie "Adam" and led to his return. "I was gone from 4 years old to 5 years old," said Bizzy, now 25. "A neighbor who used to baby-sit me for the fella who abducted my sisters and I saw the show. My name was changed, I had hair all over my face. And that's how we were found. "When we were in school," he continued, "they called me and my sisters down and were interrogating us, asking us our last names. I ain't never been a snitch, even as a baby, so I kept telling them the fake name, 'Jones, Jones, Jones.' And eventually my sister broke it like, 'You can tell.' " Bizzy was later returned to his mother's custody, but not unscathed. "There was a lot of mental abuse. There are a lot of things you will see on the episode that will shock a lot of people. It was more mental abuse than anything to really think your mother is dead, to really think your grandmother is dead, to believe a whole false scenario that someone places in front of you and you being a child that is easily manipulated. "We were getting chased by the FBI and police. I remember hiding in vans and hiding under clothes. It was made to be a game, but it wasn't a f---ing game. To this day, I still find myself looking around the corner when the police come." Bizzy said telling his story has been therapeutic and that he hopes his experience helps other victimized children. He's glad things have finally settled down enough for him to properly address the episode. "When I got into the business there was so much going on, with E dying and the new thing coming in," he said. "I couldn't concentrate on myself so much until it was the right time for me to get those things out. ... There are so many things that had to be dealt with, there was never time to focus." Bizzy and the rest of Bone Thugs have just completed their latest LP, Thug World Order, and plan to release it in August. It features guest appearances by Bobby Brown and Avant.

Harmony restored in Bone Thugs-N-Harmony

Ruthless Records owner Tomica Woods-Wright has put the harmony back in Bone Thugs-N-Harmony.
Years of turmoil within the Cleveland rap group and with Ruthless were put to rest recently after Woods-Wright, Layzie Bone, Krayzie Bone, Bizzy Bone and Wish Bone spent 15 hours together in Miami discussing their differences.
"They came out one big, happy family," a spokesperson for Ruthless said Wednesday.
Bone Thugs-N-Harmony also came out ready to record. They laid down five tracks for the follow-up to 2000's BTNHResurrection before leaving Miami, and they'll enter a Los Angeles studio on Thursday (January 17) to finish the album. A late spring or early summer release date is expected, according to the spokesperson.
While in L.A., Bone Thugs plan to record with several guest artists and producers, though no names have been confirmed.
The group also hopes to find a way to record with Flesh-N-Bone, a founding member of Bone Thugs-N-Harmony who was sentenced in September 2000 to 11 years in prison for threatening a friend with an AK-47.
Since the release of BTNHResurrection, the members of the group have been focusing on solo careers.
Bizzy Bone, who refused to promote BTNHResurrection because of a financial dispute with Ruthless, released The Gift in March, the same month Layzie Bone (under his L-Burna moniker) released Thug by Nature.
Krayzie Bone followed in August with the release of Thug on Da Line. Wish Bone has also been working on a solo disc, though it does not have a release date.
Outside of music, Krayzie Bone is working on "Ghetto Cowboy," a movie inspired by a 1998 Mo Thugs single, and Layzie Bone is developing a hip-hop musical called "Ghetto Fairytales."
Bone Thugs-N-Harmony released their debut album, E 1999 Eternal, to widespread acclaim in 1995 an
