Maybe commercial radio isn’t so evil after all.
R&B singer Bobby Brown owes his new found freedom to Washington D.C. radio station Hot 99.5. The station’s The Kane Show fronted Brown the money for his back child support payments.
Brown found himself in cuffs after attending his seventeen-year-old daughter’s cheerleading competition Sunday in Attleboro . Brown fell two months behind on child support payments to daughter LaPrincia and Bobby Jr.
He owed $19,000.
According to an EUR Web report, Brown’s brother, Tommie arrived at a Massachusetts jail with the check for the unpaid child support.
Brown’s freedom does come at a price. In exchange for the bail money, the singer will work with Hot 99.5 personalities for one week.
However, the former New Edition
front man’s legal woes don’t stop here. He was scheduled to appear
before another judge yesterday to explain how he will come up with the
$5,500 for his March payment.

His lawyer, Phaedra Parks believes the court is making an example of her client.
“It’s
unfortunate he finds himself in this situation. But the court hasn’t
exactly cut Bobby any breaks.I daresay there are a million guys out
there who are a few months behind in their child-support payments who
have not been treated the way Bobby has been treated.”
