If you’re a 90s R&B fan, there’s no way you’re unfamiliar with the group Hi-Five. They had jams like “ I Like the Way (The Kissing Game)” and “She’s Playing Hard to Get.” Ring a bell? Well, Russell Neal from the group is in police custody after revealing to cops his wife was dead inside their apartment and that he needed a lawyer.
Neal apparently told Houston cops he and his wife had gotten into an argument Wednesday … the singer reportedly asked for a lawyer and then clammed up.
The group’s lead singer Tony Thompson famously died in 2007 after inhaling Freon.
Neal is currently being detained … no charges have been filed.
The lawyer for Hi-Five, Chris Brown, tells TMZ, “We are aware of the situation and are presently evaluating it.”
This is so sad. I hope things work out.
