Bobby Brown blames Janet Jackson’s late father, Joe Jackson, for not allowing him to date her.
“I had a big crush on Janet. Everything. Her little smile, her body, dance moves, her little laugh. We loved each other’s company… We didn’t have that long of a relationship. The reason me and Janet broke it off is because she couldn’t be with a man like myself. I’m from the projects. I’m hood,” he said in Biography: Bobby Brown.
“Her father wouldn’t allow her to be with someone like me. Janet was the crush of my life.”
Brown went on to meet Houston backstage of the Soul Music Train Awards in 1989. The couple was married in 1992 before divorcing in 2007. Houston died from an overdose in 2012.
He also spoke about sleeping with Madonna.
“Did I sleep with Madonna? We didn’t do any sleeping,” he said. “It just happened. I don’t even know how it happened… She probably knows how it happened. But we didn’t do no sleeping.”
