The remaining members of B2K have hit out at reports they'll be recruiting Brandy's brother Ray J as a replacement for departed frontman Omarios.

J-Boog, Raz-B and Lil' Fizz have declared that information their business partner gave in regard to Ray J filling the group's vacant post is false.

J-Boog says, "No, Ray J's just a part of our family."

Former B2K manager Chris Stokes adds of the report, "I don't believe it's true. We hope that it's not. I just want the guys to know that I love them. Guys, take care and make sure to look out for those who are in your ears."

The denials have raised eyebrows, especially as recently Raz-B told entertainment news website Eurweb that the group would press on with Ray J if planned meetings with Omarion failed to have a positive outcome.

Omarion, who left B2K amid cash disputes last month, is currently working on his untitled solo album, which is due to hit stores this spring and his movie You Got Served in riding high at the box office.
