Bobby Brown Gets Child Support Offer From DC Radio Station

by West ·

Jailed Booby Bobby Brown has gotten a child support offer from a radio show; Washington DC’s Hot 99.5.

The radio’s morning guy, Kane, said, “We have $19,150 to give to Bobby Brown to pay for the child support he owes… We’re willing to do this in return for him hanging out with us for a week and helping out with the community.”

On Monday, Brown was ordered to stay in a county jail until he pays $19,000 in late child support and court fees. He remains there as of today.

Claiming the offer was motivated by concern for Brown’s kids as well as publicity purposes, Kane went on to assure, “We’re going to keep an eye on him and put him up in a hotel and treat him like a king… because he is Bobby Brown. We’re going to make sure he stays straight and off of drugs and maybe he can even help us sell some Girl Scout cookies around the metro area.”

Update: Thursday, March 1

As of this update post, we have not been able to confirm with either radio station who made Brown the offer first, however Eight In The Box reports that Rick and Bubba did make Brown an offer as well.
