Bobby Brown has been released after a radio station paid for him, in exchange of an interview in the station.
Bobby Brown was released from jail yesterday (01.03.07) after a radio
station paid his outstanding child support for him.
The rapper was arrested on Sunday (25.02.07) and detained in Massachusetts
Norfolk County jail for failing to pay $19,150 in late child support and
court fees.
Washington D.C. radio station Hot 99.5 FM paid the fees in return for Brown
agreeing to appear on air.
One of the station's hosts, Kane, said: "In exchange for the money, he
agreed to be an employee of our radio station for one week."
The DJ revealed the R'n'B star will give a frank interview live on air, in
which he hopes Brown will talk about his failed marriage to Whitney Houston
and turbulent private life.
He said: "We are going to have a very open and candid conversation."
Brown - who was arrested while watching his daughter's cheerleading
competition at a local high school - will appear on The Kane Show from
Monday morning (05.03.02).
Kane added: "Once Friday rolls around, he's done and released - and he's on
his own,"
Brown's lawyer, Phedra Parks, claimed the singer was struggling to make
monthly payments to Kim Ward, the mother of his two teenage children,
LaPrincia and Bobby III.
Parks said: "Although this agreement was put in place when he was Bobby
Brown the star, this agreement is being enforced when he is not always able
to find work.
"He hasn't made an album in quite some years."
In October, Brown paid $11,000 in late child support after a judge ruled he
would be arrested if he entered the county of Massachusetts without paying
what he owed.
Brown and Houston, who have a 13-year-old daughter Bobbi Kristina Houston
Brown, are currently in the process of getting divorced.
