Relatives believe the “My Prerogative” singer is cozying up to the daughter he had with Houston because he is broke, according to TMZ.com.
Houston’s mother, Cissy, is allegedly aggressively trying to block Brown from getting close to 18-year-old Bobbi Kristina, who had to be hospitalized twice after learning of her mother’s shocking death Feb. 11.
Brown flew into Los Angeles to be at his daughter’s side but relatives of the “I Will Always Love You” star doubt his intentions.
They believe he is trying to win the teenager’s affections so he can tap into Houston’s estate, estimated to be around $20 million, TMZ reported.
Sales of Houston’s recordings have soared since her death.
Friends of the Houston family have allegedly contacted the New Edition member and told him he is not welcome at the pop diva’s funeral in Newark Saturday, but Brown wants to be there for his daughter.
New Edition is scheduled to play at the Mohegan Sun casino in Connecticut Saturday night.
The couple had a tumultuous 15-year relationship with bouts of drug abuse and domestic violence. They divorced in 2007.
