Bobby Brown (shown in an old photo with Bobbi Kris), who we've watched deal with alcohol addiction, run-ins with police, child support issues, the death of his ex-wife and the burial of his daughter, is ready to open up and talk about it all. In what publisher Dey Street Book is billing as a “raw and unvarnished” memoir, the ORIGINAL King of RnB is about to tell ALL! Why? Cause it's his prerogative. And that's actually the name of the book, “My Prerogative.”

“My Prerogative” is due in stores in 2016 June and will take readers into Bobby's “crazy, exciting, fascinating world.” In a statement about the forthcoming tome, he said,

“Right after I signed on to write my story, I went through one of the most agonizing traumas I had ever experienced with the death of my daughter. But I was surprised by how therapeutic it was to work on this project, to look at the entire arc of my life and to realize that although there has been considerable pain, I have also been incredibly blessed. I hope my fans and other readers of this book will be entertained by this trip into the crazy, exciting, fascinating world of Bobby Brown. And I hope they will feel that I have been as honest and open with them in these pages as I have tried to be my entire life.”

The publishers claim the book will also “tell the full story of his life and set the record straight, particularly about his relationship with Whitney Houston.”

We have to say....we expect this to be juicy!

If anybody can write a tell all it should be Bobby. He has had it rough dealing with what he has these past few years. Also a stand up dude with how he handled his late daughters untimely death & what proceeded.

I have no idea if Bobby has sought therapy for his Demons & Addictions..If he has not then it's gonna be difficult for the Public to believe his version of his marriage..So it's gonna be interesting to see how he defines "raw"...

Hmmm... he can rot in hell for all I care!

He should stick to his Barbeque sauces...

I actually agree with this and I like Bobby. He shouldn't do a book, it'll be a huge mistake...morally that is, but his bank account may improve if it's actually released. As much as folks blame Bobby for the whole Whitney/Bobby Kristina tragedy, they WILL flock to the bookstore and buy this book.

damn Bobbi Kristina aint even been gone a year and he's writing a book. SMH. To top it off he just had another daughter in July right before Bobbi passed.

"Raw and Unvarnished"? Yeah, right.

Mr. Brown isn't writing a book to set the record straight. Mr. Brown is attempting to clean up his part in the reason(s) why his daughter( B.K.) is dead. Nobody gives a fuck if adults make a choice to drive off a damn cliff, but to throw your kid in the back for the ride. Unforgivable. Bobby needs to STFU and go away.

I'm with the majority of you, I don't think he should be writing a book, that's just seems wrong, like he wants to profit off of his ex wife and child's death.

Thats what he is trying to do, Bobby is low for this. Did he even love Whitney or his child? I don't see how he could possibly even want to do this especially since he daughter just died. This reminds me of when MJ died and Joe was promoting his record label at the BET awards. I don't see how you can profit off of people that you claim to love. That isn't "love" Bobby is full of s.h.i.t.

His BBq sauce is delicious! I purchased some on his website. BTW Bobby wrote a tell all about his and Whitney's relationship years ago. But for some reason it was canned. Excerpts from it was released and it was SCANDALOUS!!

Did you ever see the "real life" show with Whitney & Bobby? I had a friend who had cable at the time and I rememer watching it one night when a marathon was on. One episode particularly grabbed me and I never forgot it. The daughter was in her early teens and the most together parent was Bobby. That wasn't saying much. Whitney cursed him out and shut herself in the bedroom and Bobby was supposed to take his daughter out for her birthday, but, in the end, he gave her and her "friends" a wad of cash and ditched her at the mall, while he went "to the studio" and got drunk and high with his friends. I felt so sorry for his daughter. My brief experience with "reality tv" a long time ago. It was funny until he ditched his daughter,and then it wasn't.

I don't think that he should do this.It looks too much like he's cashing in on a recent tragedy

I liked Bobby's music back in the day like most people but the guy was somewhat of a trainwreck after fame muchc like Rick James his idol. What confirmed that even further and made me lose respect for him is when he spit on Whitney during a confrontation. She said so on Oprah that made her realize that was it.

It's two sides to every story. Bobby has never gotten a chance to tell his side. Whitney was just as drugged out as he was. She WASN'T innocent herself. Actually she was a coke addict before she started dating him. Her image was just an image. It WASN'T the REAL her. That's why she sabotaged her own career. The truth need to be told. Bobby is the one to finally tell it...

Never said she was. I'm well aware of her drug problems. That doesn't give any man a right

to spit on a woman more or less one you claim to love as your wife. Bobby's drug problems

are just as well documented as hers. In fact he admitted he smoked weed before he blew up as an artist. There is no truth to be told. It's not news that Whitney was a drug addict. This thread isn't even about that. It's about Bobby milking Whitney and Bobbi Kris death. Since you seem to defend Bobby heavily here do you

think it's right for him to come out with a tell all book about his ex wife and his daughter just

months after her death.

Yes I do! Whitney threw Bobby under the bus on America's top rated talk show The Oprah Winfrey Show. SHe & her Mother Cissy(who wrote a book herself about Whitney) didn't keep their private business private about Bobby. So why should he? He remained silent through the whole Bobbi Kris tragedy. This is his life to.

That is horrible

If Bobby was going to write a book, he should've been a complete autobiography about himself and his times with AND without New Edition. Having a book focusing only on Whitney & Bobbi Kristen is not good for business at all, not to mention it's also not in good taste due to short timing since Bobbi Kristen's death.

I agree.It looks like,with this book,he is cashing in on this tragedy.

Like I said in a earlier post above.Bobby did complete an autobiography years ago.But it was halted . All he has to do now is add the tragic circumstances to it...With the recent passing of his daughter this needs to be done. Since he spent the majority of his life with them.

The truth needs to be told in his words now..

How jaded can these people people get? This really hurt my heart.

I know we're supposed to separate the person from their art, but its kinda hard to. 90% of these people we call music legends we wouldn't really hang out with had they been regular folks.

The parent in me don't wanna jump into these conclusions quickly, but if he's indeed intending to cash from the tragedy of his family. He's in for a rude BIG awakening, courtesy of karma.

Is this the same book where Bobby claimed after breaking up with Janet Jackson he started drinking hard liquor. And after being with Whitney he started using more dangerous drugs?

Janet & apparently a whose who of entertainment like Holly Robinson. Bobby was a sex symbol. But the woman he wanted had to keep him a secret. Her family wouldn't approve of him.He also revealed Whitney's "secret" that very few knew about back then. The reason she really married him to cover it up.

so Janet wasn't allowed to date dark-skinned men?
