Bobby Brown Jr's early life

Brown and Kim Ward had known since they were children and had an 11-year off-and-on relationship. Ward gave birth to Brown Jr (the second of her two children with Brown) less than a year before Brown and Whitney Houston had their daughter Bobbi Kristina. In a 2006 interview with Boston Magazine, Ward claimed that Houston never warmed to the boy and preferred that Bobby spend time with Brown and Ward’s older child, La’Princia, saying “[Houston] has a problem with little Bobby.”

The tragic news of his death left many in disbelief and rumors swiveled that he had predicted his own death. 

In an exclusive interview, Karey Graves, a friend of the late rapper, told the Daily Mail, “He (Brown Jr) told me a long time ago that he was born with a heart condition, and when he called me on Tuesday he was saying how he was sick and how you never know what you’ll die from. It was eerie, like he knew something was going to happen, but wouldn’t seek medical help because he has a phobia of hospitals.”

‘Praying for Bobby Brown, he’s lost so much...’

Soon after, many fans shared heartfelt condolences for Bobby Brown. “Damn man, my heart goes out to Bobby Brown. First Whitney, then Bobbi Kristina, now his son. I hope he’s okay mentally,” one said and another posted, “Praying for Bobby Brown, he’s lost so much. I can only imagine the emptiness he is feeling. His wife is gone and both his daughter and now his son. God offer him healing and peace.”

“Dear lord. Very, very tragic. We love Bobby Brown (Roni is one of my favorite tunes.) I hope he and his family get better,” one tweet read. Slamming one user's views, another said, “It’s definitely wild that he’s going through these losses, but “it’s wild that Bobby Brown is still here” is a wild ass line for this moment.”

A fifth wrote, “I really hate Bobby brown had to live through seeing another one of his kids pass. That man needs all the prayers possible.” One tweet said, “Bobby Brown must be going through it. Can't imagine what it's like to lose 2 children. Substance abuse is a real problem.”
