Here’s a bit o’ news for those of you who remember the early ’90s with nostalgic fondness … Bryan Abrams who used to “front” the group Color Me Badd has been arrested in Oklahoma City, OK on assault charges. Now, I realize that some of you young’ns may not have any idea who Bryan Abrams or Color Me Badd is but those of us who grew up in the 90′s remember that they where the shizz back in the day. It’s a real shame that this is what has become of Mr. Badd:
If you’re under the age of 25, this story probably won’t mean jack to you. Bryan Abrams, one of the singers in the terribly awesome R&B band Color Me Badd, was arrested in Oklahoma City last Friday on charges of domestic abuse and assault and battery after allegedly threatening to kill his girlfriend. According to NewsOK.com, Abrams allegedly punched the woman in her nose and verbally threatened her by saying, “I’m a kill you! You and me! You and me!” Abrams is said to have had slurred speech and talked in “random sentence fragments.” Abrams is still behind bars, being held on a $4,000 bond.
Yikes! This sounds pretty scary. If true, I hope they keep his ass locked up for some time to come. It’s kinda hard to believe that it’s been 17 years since Color Me Badd first came on the scene. They hit it big with their first single I Wanna Sex You Up (which was first featured in the movie New Jack City) which then led to a string of hits (like All 4 Love, I Adore Mi Amor) from their debut album C.M.B. I remember Color Me Badd were regularly featured on the MTV dance show Club MTV which was hosted by Downtown Julie Brown (surely, many of you don’t even realize that MTV used to not only air music shows but used to air music videos as well) — Wubba Wubba Wubba! I believe the group guested on an episode of Beverly Hills, 90210 and I know for a fact that they toured with Paula Abdul on her Under My Spell Tour (they even did a song with her on her third album Head Over Heels) … my, how the mighty have fallen. After the jump, check out the now ancient music video for Color Me Badd‘s biggest hit I Wanna Sex You Up …
This is how we used to roll in the early ’90s:
Granted, this was also the era that made Vanilla Ice a megastar so … yeah.
