Social media users have expressed concerns about Raz B after he posted a suggestive dance video on Instagram.
The singer and actor shared a video of himself dancing to the song “Strokey Doke” by Shazam Conner and H-Town, on Thursday night.
Raz B, 38, appeared to be imitating Michael Jackson while wearing a single silver glove, skimpy black briefs, boots and a red “Make America Great Again” hat.
The singer, born De’Mario Monte Thornton, captioned the post “Ladies this one for you! @shazamofhtown ya lost!”
“Shazam” Solomon Conner responded by reposting the video on his own Instagram page and included a humorous caption calling on fans to take part in a #strokeydancechallenge.

But not everyone found humor in Raz B’s video.
While some fans said he appeared to be having fun, others thought it was a sign he might need help.
“So sad when celebrities have to resort to this to get attention. Pray for this guy,” one person replied to Raz B’s post.
“Take your meds and go to bed,” another person wrote.
“You done went Britney on us Raz or what?” someone else wrote, referring to recent dance videos Britney Spears has posted on social media.
“He’s just minding his business, having a lil fun,” another person wrote.
A rep for the singer and actor did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Raz B’s viral post follows a May incident that prompted police to respond to Saint Luke’s Hospital in Kansas City, Missouri, when the singer scaled a wall at the hospital and stood near a ledge on the roof.
“Upon arrival it was determined that the listed party had broken a window and climbed onto the roof,” police said in a statement at the time.
A police negotiator was brought in and the fire department placed mats on the ground below in case the singer jumped. Eventually, he went back inside the hospital through the window and was treated by medical staff.
Raz B was a founding member of the now-defunct boy band B2K, along with Omarion, Boog (formerly J-Boog) and Fizz (formerly Lil’ Fizz).
Fans have expressed concerns about Raz B for years, after he accused B2K’s former manager of abusing him when he was a child.
Earlier this year, the You Got Served actor recanted the allegations against his cousin and former manager in a lengthy Instagram post.
“I’ma made man! Here it goes truth truth – mature grown DeMario after countless counseling. I was abused by bro brother, and others. They all used and abused me like a rag doll! By the time my cousin took custody over me, I was a mess. He was not my enemy, I focused all my pain, frustration and anger built up from my past, and took it out on my cousin, and I never understood why,” Raz B wrote in the post, which was captured by The Shade Room.
