The Untold Truth Of Boyz II Men

Publish date: 2024-06-01

Boyz II Men didn't often find themselves at the center of drama, as Nathan Morris told Philly Mag. "None of us are perfect, by any means, but we were just taught to just be different," he explained. "We always wanted to impress our parents."

But Michael McCary's secret medical condition took its toll on his relationship with the group, and he ended up leaving the band in 2003. His fellow band members spoke about the split to HuffPost in 2014, arguing that "he kind of gave up when things didn't go well." When Larry King asked them why McCary had left, the band suggested that he just "didn't want to be involved or do it anymore." They also insisted that they had reached out to him for potential reunion events but admitted that the friendship wasn't as "strong" and claimed that their sound wasn't that different without him.

Although they didn't know about his medical diagnosis, their statements hurt the bass vocalist, as Oprah reported. "If I had to sum up what I got from my brothers in Boyz II Men, I would have to say betrayal, a broken bond," McCary stated in 2016, following his MS revelation. "I mean, at this point, we don't even talk."
