Pusha-T's latest album, Daytona, is being hailed as a classic by fans, and industry professionals alike, but the album's cover art has taken on a life of its own. Now Bobby Brown‘s sister, who took the controversial photo of Whitney Houston's bathroom, is telling her side of the story.
In a recent interview with The Blast, Tina Brown let it be known that she did not get paid for Kanye West using the photo for Pusha-T‘s album. She also mentioned that she regrets taking the photo at a “low and self-destructive” time in her life.
“Kanye West did not purchase the picture from me or my son," she said.
Brown says the National Enquirer owns the rights to the photo after she sold it as part of a story in 2006. The photo is reportedly the product of a night the two women spent in a drug binge that included smoking crack-cocaine.
“During the time the picture was taken, in 2006, my sister Whitney and I were at a very low and self-destructive point in our lives, it was not only her mess, it was mine as well," said Brown. "Together, she and I decided to take the pictures in the bathroom and share with the world, the pain we were going through. It was a united cry for help.”
She insists the photo was not at all a betrayal of Whitney or her family.
