    • @wayneishawilson5303
      @wayneishawilson5303 3 года назад +19

      Something deep down tells me that when Bobby and Whitney met they were both taking drugs. She was just doing it discreetly and when they realised it was something they both loved doing, it became a whole toxic relationship altogether. Bobby was seen as the bad one because his dirt was already out there since New Edition when he was messing up before being kicked out but Whitney had this good girl image and it wasn't shown all over the media so it looked as though Bobby lead her down that path. I agree Bobby did a lot of shit coming up but I think he really loved Whitney. It must be hard on him rising as a star to have people continuously crush him for what happened to Whitney.

      If you watch “ a Bobby Brown Story “ that he & His Current Wife Produced / hired the cast to tell his Story etc. He & Whitney were Still Abusing Drugs / getting arrested through out his Teens & The 90’s & 2000’s as Well . He has a Extensive Record & Was Still Gettin’ Lifted in His Prime / here etc. He just Had Energy & a Bad Temper & Talent sorta like Chris Brown / James Brown in Their Prime / & Controversies etc. He Just Let The Drugs entertain Him / lose His Inhibition by the Time They Had Bobbi Kistina & Whitney & Him were STILL Getting High Together almost O.D. / Close Calls etc.

Many other RNB singers start doing the same But unfortunately they had to get other artists to rap. Bobby did not. He started a trend.
