Bobby Brown Taken Away

Bobby Brown was released from jail the other day after a radio station paid his outstanding child support for him.The rapper was arrested on Sunday 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 cheer leading competition at a local high school - will appear on The Kane Show on Monday morning. 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.
