Wow, This Is Bobby Brown’s Response To Kanye Using Whitney Houston’s Bathroom Photo

Posted On : May 31, 2018

“Wake up Mr. West!” is the wake-up call many people have been sending to the Good Music Label owner in recent weeks. It seems to be a much needed alarm clock for ‘Ye, even though he totally disagrees. First, came Kanye’s ‘slavery was a choice’ statement, next came his erratic Twitter rant. Then there is Kanye’s latest decision to pay $85,000.00 for a photo of Whitney Houston’s drug laced bathroom, to use as album art (shown below) for his artist, Pusha T.

Bobby Brown’s Reaction To Kanye West

They say sometimes a good slap could knock a person’s mind right, which is precisely what Bobby Brown now wants to do to Kanye West. Don’t take our word for it though, see Bobby make that threat to West himself.

Bobby has sounded off about Kanye’s odd decision regarding his late ex-wife and he ain’t happy about it whatsoever. In a recent interview with Rolling Stone, Bobby was asked to share his thoughts about Kanye exploiting Whitney and her past drug afflictions, here’s what he said:

Bobby B.- “Why would he post that on his album cover? That’s really disgusting that he would do that. That’s in really bad taste. Something should happen to Kanye. He’s already crazy. I knew that when I first met him. Now he’s pushing the bar a little bit. He needs somebody to slap him up or something. And I’m just the person to do it.”

Of course Bobby’s reaction is understandable and many fans are ridin’ with him on this one.

The ironic part is that Kanye, of ALL people, should have been more sensitive prior to using Whitney’s bathroom photo. He unfortunately knows what it’s like to lose a loved one in the public’s eye- his beloved mother, Donda West. His mother passed away from complications after several plastic surgery. This fact also didn’t go unnoticed by many fans, who have slammed Kanye and questioned why he hadn’t exploited his late mother in the same graphic manner he’s exploiting Whitney.

Publicity Stunts & Damage Control?

Although Kanye’s actions have caused a significant amount of pain for Bobby and others in Whitney’s family, Kanye and his wife, Kim Kardashian, apparently are not concerned. In fact, they’ve been on a mission to counteract the backlash of Kanye’s many controversial antics, by attempting to show themselves in a different light. For example, their recent happy-go-lucky appearance on “Family Feud” and Kim Kardashian’s announcement that she’s helping one Black woman get out of prison are clearly perfectly timed publicity stunts…in my opinion.

Overall, it isn’t clear what exactly Kanye’s end game is, other than attention seeking in a similar fashion as the man he refers to as his “brother,” Donald Trump. Or maybe he’s been inspired by the Kardashian family’s keen ability to drum up consistent controversial attention that has kept them afloat in the media for years.

Maybe one day Kanye will explain his motivation behind the Whitney exploitation and for pumping out dangerous messages about slavery, Black people, and more to the millions of impressionable young people who look up to him.
