PRAYS FOR BOBBI KRISTINA BROWN
Johnson held a moment of silence for Bobbi Kristina Brown at the gala held by Davis, who was Whitney Houston’s mentor.
On the red carpet, singers also offered well wishes for the 21-year-old Brown, who was found face down in a bathtub at her home on Jan. 31.
“My heart really goes out to her family,” R&B singer Ciara said. “I’m praying for their strength. I’m praying for their courage. I’m praying for them to have support. I’m praying for a miracle truthfully.”
Davis’ gala is where he introduced Houston to the public years ago. It’s also the same hotel where the icon died.
“You know every time I come to this hotel I always think of Whitney even before that because she kind of set me up to perform onstage,” recalled Toni Braxton. “So I always think of her with her happy spirits, but now it’s a little sad.”
