10 things to remember about Bobbi Kristina


Many knew Bobbi Kristina only as the daughter of the late Whitney Houston and R and B singer Bobby Brown.

When she was found unresponsive at a bathtub in her house, speculations over her death resembling that of her late mother emerged.

Her family put her under medical and later hospice care until Sunday when they announced that she had died.

Here are some facts to know about the 22-year-old:

1. She was first brought to the limelight aged two when her late mother received the American Music Award while holding her.

2. She later made her debut in reality TV in 2005 starring in her father’s ‘Being Bobby brown’ series.

3. Kristina did music performances with her late mother but never picked up a music career of her own despite being born in a musical family.

4. She had significantly reduced smoking before she was found unresponsive in the bathtub as she intended to feature in her late mother’s tribute album with her father.

5. She was named the sole heir of her mother’s estate, but her aunt Pat Houston and grandmother Cissy Houston went to court to seek orders that would ensure her control of the money was delayed.

6. Kristina had moved in with Nick Gordon, an adopted child of her late mother, and called him husband silencing her critics who accused them of incest by stating that he was never formally adopted.

7. Nick had earlier in the year complained of being denied access to the hospitalized Kristina in an emotional interview on Dr Phil where he cried and stated that he could not imagine losing her.

8. Kristina’s aunt Pat had in 2014 obtained a restrain order against Nick, accusing him of threatening her (Pat). She was not in support of the relationship between him and her niece ever since.

9. The 22-year-old once appeared in one episode of the 2012 Tyler Perry’s For Better or Worse but never appeared for the rest of the episodes. This made the producer of her mother’s biographical movie to leave her out of the cast, stating that she was not an actress and acting is a craft.

10. Her godmother is the award winning gospel artist CeCe Winans, and throughout Kristina’s medically induced coma, Winans kept urging all people to pray for her recovery.
