Whitney Houston's best friend, gospel singer Kim Burrell, warns Whitney's daughter Bobbi Kristina that the road she's on is killing her quickly...
Kim tells Essence Magazine,
"I remind [Bobbi Kristina] too much of her mama in a lot of ways. If I were to be in her ear, the first words I would probably say are, ‘Just stop it. And you know exactly what I mean. You know what time it is. Don't go there.’ The girl is smart. To me, she's a victim of circumstance. I'm not making any excuses, but she was born into craziness. At nine years old, your parents give you $5,000 to go shopping, and the money increases as you get older and you're pretty much on your own. And you're doing what you want to do and you're around all this stuff that she's involved in as a teenager."
"So, I would just tell her, ‘Baby, just stop.’ And consider your life to be your own and not a reflection of anyone else's. Do your best to try to live from this moment forward as an adult because right now you're living out something that's killing you quickly. I don't want to talk too much about [her marriage] ‘cause it is a sore spot. She's young. And I just hope that at some point she'll let people in. She's very rebellious, but she loves me. She just doesn't want to hear what I have to say. And I get that."Read the full interview here
