  • Peace God Bless

  • Suboxone is VERY expensive, a monthly injection of it is bout $800 and the pills aren't much cheaper. Not all insurance covers it. But for those lucky enough to get it , should use it! It WORKS! I know because I work with an addiction doctor who specialize in it.

  • Chico, I am praying for your whole family all the time! I've never been through an addiction or anything, but I must say that it's not easy as it sounds. Addiction is serious and those that are addicted to drugs, alcohol, or anything else, is seeking out for help to get their lives to together and get clean. God bless the DeBarge family! May God continue to heal you Chico and the rest of your siblings. <3

  • People get so caught up with race issues...We're all human beings, period!!...Drugs are made by people who benefit from the sale of these substances...Who creates these drugs?

  • I just met him on October 2nd, 2011. He was sooo nice! And El too! Such a talented family they are!

  • Its so sad to see the DeBarge family was cursed with this horrible disease of addiction. My God it sad to see they all went through this. As good looking and talented as they all were they should be sitting on millions and enjoying the gift God gave them but sadly they all ended up in this horrible situation. I pray that they all overcome the curse that has taken over them and hope their children and grandchildren do not follow that path.

  • It takes guts 2 admit your weaknesses, defects and shortcomings...stay strong Chico...

  • What is the name of the song playing at the end of this interview?

    

  • addiction or no addiction lol. no jp but for real he can get it . i just wanna lick him all over YUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!

  • I saw him open for Brian McKnight over ten years ago in Washington DC and that man is FIRE... AWESOME memories!

  • Obama's black, the Debarges are black and Dondre is black. As stated by the white races all the way back to slavery by the term OCTOROON: a person with 1/8 black ancestry. They did that because a lot of mixed children were trying to pass as white. whites couldn't have that so, they passed a law to make sure these mulattos couldn't benefit from their very pale skin.

    I like how the white races tries to claim Obama by saying he is half white, half black.He is all black by your standards so STFU.

  • @darkeworthe i am sooo glad u said that! and its not just up to 1/8th, in america if u have just 1 drop of black in u then u are considered black. Mariah carey is only 25% black but she is still considered a black woman. Obama, alicia keys, tia & tamera, faith evans, halle berry, tamia, shamar moore, drake. jasmine guy, paula patton, tracee ellis ross, evan ross, and all other bi-racial ppl are considered to be black by society and by themselves.

  • I hate when people try to act like they started by 'accident.' Pills, weed and drinking s what most like to admit to because they have less of a "no turning back" stigma.

  • As I know their father is white, have seen pics from interviews and their mother is black.

  • This dudes needs to go back to rehab

  • @harron56 I agree, just I replied to someone's post that took things wrong and speaking before they know. I don't care his race, although I know it as he knows who he is by it. I find him to be very deep, talented, soft spoken and somewhat shy man with a beautiful soul, some problems like we all have, but still a beautiful talent as the rest of his family

  • Wow! People can't he just be a person? Talk about what he just shared, not his biological make up. He's not a biology rat to be studied. He's a person. I hope he does not read any of this. Most of these comments are offensive and uncalled for. I applaud the people who have made non-racial uplifting comments. Build the man up, don't bring him down.

  • Woww ! He just shared a piece of his soul right there.

  • those Debrages have been through so much, Bobby, El, James and now Chico

  • DEEP DUDE

  • Hey, from what I've read, this guy and his family, like so many other famlies, have been through the fire and back. There's definately an angel watchin over you guys. Chico keep doin your thing and keep your temple clean so that your Creator can continue to bless you. Thank Him every chance you get for your talent because with it you bless others. Yours and your brother El"s talent is that rare talent, like so many other artists like yourselves, that just can't be touched. We gotta bring it bak!

  • 1LOVE CHIO!...HOPEFULLY IF U STILL TOURING CAN U SWING BY AUSTIN TX AND DO A SHOW FOR US...WE MISS U!...........

  • Thanks for the post.

  • Not sure how his race became so long of a discussion. People are so trivial these days. The man is fine and can sing. Shouldn't that be enough? People are about to damn near request DNA on the brotha'.........lol

  • @Monicacsc420 I agree. The unfortunate part is that people of color (i am Puertorican, & we come in all colors from pitch black to white) are self hating & always quick to think (and sometimes say), "he/she is goodlooking: he must be mixed with white/native" . So only blacks mixed with white are "goodlooking". Dark black beauties are never given that much discussion. Trust me, even latinos do it & we have a long ways to go in terms of racial pride and acceptance. Pure black is beautiful too!

  • yes he is!

  • Comment removed

  • Check out:  Madame Michelle , song MP3

  • For a long time now people thought the Debarge family was Hispanic due to their looks and people thought their Stepfather who was Puerto Rican was their biological father. Debarge is French surname not Spanish.

  • The guy who stabbed Chico was a Philly mobster named John "Johnny Gongs" Casasanto. He died back in 2003. What goes around comes around.

  • love him

    

  • Addiction to opiods happens so very easily and this is the type of addiction that medical people don't realize how we can contribute to patients getting addicted. My heartfelt prayers go out to you Chico and pray for your continued recovery. I wish you well.

  • them juicy lips. love you chico you fine and 43.

  • WOW! Thank you for sharing this!

  • No he said "Two weeks later, ahh the the mm the man that um did it he he he got killed ssso um so"....

  • I'm so in love with him!!

  • whos he maried to?

  • Comment removed

  • Love the lips on this man. And "Iggin' Me" still sounds good to this day.

  • did he say the man he was dating

  • @iamsetfree he says the man that 'did it' - his brain is so mushy he cant pronounce words clearly

  • @iamsetfree No he said the man that did it (stabbed him) was killed.

  • @iamsetfree no, he said the man that DID IT, he got killed.

  • @iamsetfree it sounded like that, i was trying to figure that out lol

  • Glad the DeBarge family is healing. I love them all. Chico and El are rockin and really focused on the real deal now. So glad all this talent is not going to waste.

  • He is a mutt and who cares about his issues.

  • he is mixed........ his dad is white.

  • @31Stopo5 His dad is not white. But he is mixed though

  • @chsn09 the debarge parents are as follows. dad is white mother is black. do your homework please. or go to tvone.com which did a show about the debarges on its "unsung" tv program. thanks

  • @31Stopo5 LOLOL. I know THAT. The mother was mixed though I believe. She was not black.

  • @chsn09 ur 0-2 now... she is not mixed. will you go to tvone.com pls. lol

  • @31Stopo5 LMBOO @ being 0-2

  • @chsn09

    The DeBarge family mother is black and the father is white. El DeBarge stated this years ago during an interview on BET back in the mid 80's.

  • @MrJuly1990ish Oh ok. A lot of people out there keep on saying that he is full blown black. But he is MIXED just like I thought. Most "black" identified folks are mixed anyway

  • @chsn09 Yes, Mama D is part Native American.

  • @chsn09 The patriach of the family, Robert Louis DeBarge Sr., was a White man from Cicero, Il. Research it.

  • he does not even look black lol.! he looks mixed

  • @chsn09 He is bi-racial, but look at Dondre T. Whitfield, far as I know of him, he isn't mixed, but has that Chico, Shemar Moore Look to him/feel.

  • @MsFGrace11 I think he might be tri-racial. But aside from that you should think before you speak or type.

    Dondre T Whitfield is OBVIOUSLY mixed. For people that think he is not mixed, they have been brainwashed. I don't know any person that looks like Dondre T Whitfield that is not mixed. Obviously he is mixed. What would make you think that he is not mixed??

  • @MsFGrace11 What makes you think Dondre T. Whitfield is NOT mixed? Just because he is considered as black or African American does NOT mean that he is not mixed. Almost all African Americans are significantly mixed race. But they often go around saying that they are black.

    The DeBarges often are considered black when they are biracial or first generation mixed. Most African Americans are NOT black.

  • @chsn09 exactly! thats is so true! we are mixed with many many things! African women were raped and matted with white,indian,italian ect...

  • @chsn09 If you paid attention I said that what I know of him... (Dondre T. Whitfield) isn't mixed, meaning, first generation of mother and father! Next, you are the one that said Chico doesn't look black, all I was stating was that Also, I am african-american heritage... I am someone that people think one of my parent's is mixed or white! I am also referred to as latino all the time! Many people think I'm Mexican, or Puerto Rican, therefore, I understand where things are coming from.

  • @chsn09 Also Debarge consider themselves black, as they know as well I know most african americans are mixed, again my heritage consists of black, white, native american for sure known!  Therefore, I know.

  • Love you Chico! Keep the Faith...

  • chico we love you up date your my space keep the lord first in your life its a life change born over again

  • damn chico...you can tell he been grindin his teeth too.....his whole mouth looks different

  • its very sad to be addicted and that fine,ive always loved the debarge family

  • Thank God I never touched to drugs...well just ONE time: from 1994 to 1998...

    :-D

  • Addicted or not, I will still marry this guy. Have his last three cds and will always be a fan! Gave the husband a heads up, Chico come this way,I am out.LOL

  • i am a huge fan of chico since the 90's i cant wait to cop his album

  • all the debarges are hott xd

  • @RapStarsz What is the song at the end called please?

  • ummm..his lips are so juicy!!

  • Chico ur a legend in my mind and a very lucky man to be a star in this day and age; a definite inspiration to any one; soulfully tallented; and visually tallented writer and video director...Mostly im looking for ways to be creative and genuine like you while surviving in life and having a love for music while keeping the faith and family I love. 9's Demacrats for Obama Politics and supporting the arts and education? ps any 1 seen Brad Pitt latley? ~Peace Chico~ im on youtube too...EL drop date?

  • How can someone stab Chico....really? are u serious....CHICO DEBARGE...we're talking about sweetness...not hardcore ganster....Luv this guy and entire DeBarge family.....I pray that God protects this family.....Lord protect us all.....

  • "addiction was the problem that my problem created" -- that's something interesting to think about, I think

  • Is he single?

  • @nospaces08 yes!

  • @nospaces08 Chico is married but separated so basicly he is married

  • If Chico is reading this, I truly hope that you and some other members of your famous family give up this nasty habit. Your such a talented group with enormous possibilities. I had a childhood friend that was into this scene and one day the lifestyle caught up with him, he was left for dead after being beat so bad that he was in a coma. He survived but his soul is gone, his beautiful heavy voice is gone and the person that I once knew no longer exist. I wish you luck with this fight.

  • We all have our battles in life.It's what you learn from them that counts.Chico and his family are all servivors I beleive he will be ok. Keep your head up Chico never looking down. I love your music and your swag.

  • Chicco, the guy who stabbed you "somehow" got killed????2 weeks later?.....ok.

  • @mutore1 hey karma is a bitch.....

  • thank you, thank you so much,, for being real, for being true!!! GOD Bless and continued success!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • He is SO SO FINE.........MMMM!!!!!

    On that note. I hope he continues on his path of recovery. Best of Luck to Chico!

  • Man Chico is fine!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • that's a fine man right thur..kinda looks like my older brother....lol

  • He looks great, but he's not a good interviewer. I love Chico...

  • I just purchased Addiction and I wish I had not waited so long. It is very very good. Can't get enough of it. Great CD

  • He sounds really messed up. Hope he gets better.

  • I like Chico. He seems humble and down to earth. I wish the best for you Chico and may your life be filled with light and happiness.

  • he's fine....so fine...so fine...say it one more time.....FINE!

  • chico is very talented and has a beautiful voice. the good lord will lead you to a brighter horizon, believe in yourself and don't let the devil rob you of what you love....god bless

  • LOVE HIM

  • i no his son

  • Man, I LOVE his lips!!!!!!

  • @asentha hell yes they are so delicious

  • @Daniweb1971  Yes!! And I like when he licks them. ;-)

  • Yeah gotta be "Long time no see" and my fav song "No guarantee"

  • where can i find someone like him? someone please tell me! a poet, a singer a writer !! Oh my Gooooodness!

  • girl please. i dont care if the brotha was on meroin! haha. as long as his as sis clean and fine, shit thats all that matter. im happy that he didnt do pop music or whatever this mess is nowadays. he stayed LONG TIME NO SEE for me. thats all that matter. all jokes aside, he fine and he need to stay outta trouble. i was watchin the old talk to me performances and tell me why they had my man lookin like a rosster in drag? the 80s had yall dressin all crazy and stuff. shoot, he still fly

  • @ssaturn

    Disagree, "rooster in drag" he's hot no matter what!

  • thank u all for that, and yes, god has bless me to never want to use again. this is why i know that the debarge family can and will make it. 11-28-09.

  • I am so sick of how these doctors just continue to dole out oxycontin like Skittles. People don't understand that it's heroin in pill form, it's ridiculous how liberally it's prescribed. I had a friend that had pain from a C-section, the dumb assed doctor actually prescribed her oxycontin, while she was BREASTFEEDING no less. I was livid. You don't 't prescribe a nursing mother with heroin...and she didn't even have any idea what an intense drug it was until I told her. This needs to stop.

  • @stylecollective

    Glad to see someone on here that understands and cares about the negative impact of these drugs....

  • it's true because they are giving it to old people. humans of all ages. i was researching on it the other day on wik..pida and it does have heroin in it. which i found distrubing . but i guess that's how it is now in the world... iam just thinking how can u get addicted to OXY.. that shit make feel like ya feet dont touch the floor my nanna had to use it because of her pain but she did't like the way it made her feel. no wonder MJ WASHOOKED ON SHIT I BLAME THE DOC'' CHICO IS STILL FLY.

  • @LadyDieselalexjr4lif i live in VA and the oxycontin thing is crazy down here. it started in my town about 99 or 2000 and hasn't done anything but get worse since. Every family in this town has at least one person addicted to 80's.. back in like 2003 time magazine had the town i live in on the cover of the mag calling it the oxy capitol. Its fucked up here. BTW it doesnt have heroin in it but its structure is almost the same as heroin chemically. if he cant stop using he needs 2 get on suboxone.

  • @baidey420 I agree with that 100%. Being addicted is horrible, and I am recovering taking it one day at a time. Thank you for bringing up suboxone because there are so many addicts who do not even know that this medication is out there. If you are really serious about kicking this horrible addiction, taking this is a miracle. I took my first pill and have never looked back. No staying for weeks at a rehab facility and you could possibly have a regular life thanks to this wonderful drug!

  • @stylecollective You can take opiates while preg. If a drug addict is preg and addicted they usually give them a long acting opiate like methadone or subutex to make sure they dont go into withdrawal. that puts alot more stress on the baby than the opiate does. i know it sounds bad for a child to be born addicted but most likely the CPS would take the kid and he/she would be slowly weaned off of the drug to minimize stress. ppl are starting to do more herion now tho cause its cheaper than 80's

  • girl please. oxycoton proxycoton i dont give a damn, his ass is fine! as long as he wasnt on no hardcore drugs like crack and them then im cool. i cant watch this. girl i damn near licked the screen. haha.

  • @ssaturn

    Oxycontin is heroin, though,Boo. That is not something to mess with, chile!

  • shit i cant stop watching this clip. i started rubbin my tittys! haha!

  • Gurrl, stop playing, I feel u he is so scrumptious! DAMN!!!!

  • WOW YALL FUNNY''' yall should have seen them on punky CHICO WS LOOKING WERID BUT IT WAS THE 80'S AND IAM AN 88 BABY. his hair was blonde tho wit the baby face going but that 's WAS THE STYLE. YOU SHOULD SEE THE WAY JAMES IS MOVING HIS NECK IN THAT CLIP. IF YOU LIKE THIS INTERVIEW YOU MIGHT WANNA LICK JAMES NECK IN THT CLIP .. LOL :)

  • shit, i bought this cd because his black ass is so damn fine. they need to stay they ass outta trouble. they be cool

  • chico and his family r too talented of a family to let drug's get to them, i am very glad to hear he's off of drugs, i know that it can b hard, i was a meth user. i got off it, it was hard at first,but with the help of my family and n,a,meetings that i went too, and with god'd blessing i have not use since 2006, and i will never go down that road again. to much to lose as i lost a good job&a good man, good luck chico. 10-18-09

  • @theresa2319

    Congratulations on your sobriety and may you continue to be blessed!

  • Chico is still a good looking man. I am glad to hear that he has overcome his addiction to a control II substance (Oxycodone). Is it me or is he kind of jittery in this interview? As he [Chico] has acknowledged, recovery is a process.

  • Yea, he's a little jittery. As with any person who has been on drugs, they are never quite the same once they recover due to the abuse.

  • Oxycodone is a narcotic and abuse of this substance does a number on your brain.

  • ANY drug can do a number on your brain. He was on oxycodone for a short period compared to his herion addiction.

  • He looks good for a 43 year old, very attractive.

  • He is a really handsome guy!!!!

  • You are a strong man and can overcome anything. You are a wonderful person and I love you Jonathan Debarge.

  • Is this interview recent? Damn he still looks handsom, i'm happy for him that he was able to beat the addiction

  • This album is played allllllll the time in my ride! I love the CD so great!

  • Mine too. I have all three of his albums mixed with Maxwell and Jodeci in my car AND in my house. Like clockwork baby!

  • chico debarge is a straight thug. he is one r&b singer that is real from the hood.

  • He sounds like he is still struggling with his addiction. Which is understandable because of his family history all of them has it. I t is so sad I grew up on Debarge. I feel he gonna be alright but his discussion gives me this feeling. You are in my prayer chico. Now let me check u out lol. thanks for the post.

  • So I was not the only one that noticed his demeanor. Please refer to my comments above.

  • He's amazing and talented that's all I can say:}

  • can anyone really be this pretty???? damn!

  • El used to be.

  • James too, now that I think about it. He and Chico could've been twins.

  • Who? James and Chico, or El and Chico. Back in the day, all three of them were the prettiest ones.

    Chico toughened up after he got out of prison. He looks more manly now, but still oh so pretty. Golden, sexy and tasty!!

  • All three were the bomb. But I think Chico favors James the most. They gotta be about 10-15 years apart, but they could've been twins.

  • they weren't that far apart........El and James were 2 yrs apart and James and Chico were 3 yrs apart. They were all right behind each other. So all together 5 yrs

  • get outta here!! well Chico has aged beautifully!

  • @shadee15

    No, they are only three years apart. While Chico still looks to have stopped the clock in his mid to late 30''s. Very gorgeous. James is like fine wine. He looks his age but seems to get more beautiful.

  • You are so right. El was a pretty dude. He stills looks okay but heavily drugged out.

  • The new album "Addiction'' is very good. I give it 4 ****'s out of 5.

  • I album is great!! I love it!

  • Chico is amazing. I recently saw him in bklyn and the boy can sang. This album is awesome

  • Yes, the album is out.

  • Big fan of Chico out here.. the game missed that kind of soulful stuff. Too much kids making kiddy music out here.. Finally some real mature shit for adults!!!

  • Tru tru...Most kids now don't know what real r&b is..they think now its either t pain or lil wayne..

  • Been so busy I aint even heard hes new album.. lets me! Holla and tell me what u think!

  • His album is soooooooo dope. He is such a soulful brotha! He is such a freak, always singin' about takin' someone's woman. I love it.

  • CHicos best album by far is......"LONG TIME NO SEE"

    Now who agree?

  • me agree. classic album!

  • Yes Chico Debarge is a kool artist, haven't heard his new stuff, but can't wait to get it, is out already?

  • The album is fabulous!

  • were can i hear it at? preview or something

  • this sounds like its about

    to be a good album he is

    very talented

  • Wow...can't wait to hear his album...a fan...
