B2K's Raz-B and Wife Mona Mourn Loss of 3-Month-Old Son Astro

B2K singer De’Mario“Raz-B”Thornton and his wife Mona Li Thornton announced on Thursday, Sept. 10, that their three-month-old son, Astro Monte Thornton, passed away unexpectedly. A spokesperson confirmed the news to USA Today, saying the cause of death is undisclosed. The family is asking for privacy during this time and expressed gratitude for the outpouring of love from fans.

The couple also shares an older son, Versai Carter Thornton, who was born in October 2024. Raz-B had shared his excitement publicly on Instagram, announcing Mona’s pregnancy in May and later celebrating Astro’s birth. The news comes as B2K is riding a big year, having released their fourth album, Eclipse, and currently touring on the Boys 4 Life run, which includes three shows in England this December.

There’s no word yet on whether the December dates will be affected, and honestly, that’s a secondary concern right now. What matters is a family navigating an unimaginable loss. If you or someone you know has experienced infant loss, organizations like the March of Dimes and local grief support groups offer resources and community.
