Judge Orders Rapper 50 Cent Into Court To Explain Hidden Cash He Is Showing Off Online While Filing Bankruptcy

50 Cent posing with an estimated $50,000 on Instagram

Rapper, 50 Cent, real name Curtis Jackson, filed bankruptcy in July 2015. 8-months ago the Judiciary Report wrote about 50 Cent's bankruptcy case labeling it a fraudulent filing by the rapper who is not truly bankrupt (50 Cent Says He Is A Fake In Bankruptcy Court With A Net Worth Of $4,400,000 Not $150,000,000 But Is He Hiding Money And Assets).

Three days ago, the judge presiding over the case, Ann M. Nevins, issued a ruling ordering 50 Cent back to court to explain why he posted a photo on his social networking page spelling out the word "Broke" using $250,000 in cash. The ruling was issued due to one of 50 Cent's creditor accused him of bankruptcy fraud last week, after witnessing photos of the rapper posing with stacks of cash. 50 Cent has also hidden the fact he owns a custom built mansion in Africa, the trademark to his stage name and has been making cash from performances, not disclosed to the court. These acts constitute bankruptcy fraud, which is a felony. He's been hiding money and assets the entire time.


50 Cent has been showing off online as his ego can't stand people thinking he is broke (when he is not)

The July 22, 2015 article "50 Cent Says He Is A Fake In Bankruptcy Court With A Net Worth Of $4,400,000 Not $150,000,000 But Is He Hiding Money And Assets" has now been proven correct, "He is hiding money and assets. He can afford to pay the judgments and have money and assets left over for himself. He just finds it extremely difficult to part with $22,000,000 to pay court judgments over his poor choices. Therefore, his bankruptcy case is not legitimate. This is not what bankruptcy is for. Bankruptcy is for people in genuine financial distress, who need legal relief, not for millionaires hiding assets in attempting to get out of multi-million dollar court judgments caused by their stupidity and arrogance in violating other people's rights. Bankruptcy fraud is also a felony investigated by the federal government and is punishable by 5-years in prison and $250,000 in fines."

'Broke' 50 Cent ordered to court after flashing cash online

February 20, 2016: 8:36 PM ET - 50 Cent has posted lots of photos surrounded by cash -- while he's in bankruptcy court. The rapper "50 Cent" is heading to court to explain why he's declaring bankruptcy -- while posting pictures of himself surrounded by cash on Instagram. Curtis J. Jackson III filed for bankruptcy in July. He claims that he still makes millions, but that a flood of expensive lawsuits is killing him.

The guy who got famous for his 2003 album called "Get Rich or Die Tryin‍" has poked a lot of fun at his financial situation. But now U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Ann M. Nevins is worried the rapper is being outright dishonest. Since October, 50 Cent has posted several photographs on Instagram of him playing with cash. In one, he's in bed surrounded by dozens of stacks of $100 bills -- easily $50,000 in that picture alone. In another, he stacks the Benjamins to spell out "B-R-O-K-E." ...

In court on Thursday, the judge told the rapper's attorney: "I'm concerned about allegations of nondisclosure or a lack of transparency in the case." CNNMoney listened to audio recordings of the Hartford, Connecticut hearing. News of the hearing was first reported by The Wall Street Journal.
"There's a purpose of having a bankruptcy process be transparent, and part of that purpose is to inspire confidence in the process," the judge said, adding that bankruptcy court is where "an honest but unfortunate debtor can come into court and seek relief." "When that process becomes very public, the need for transparency, I believe, is even higher," she told the rapper's lawyer, James Berman...

Rapper Lil Wayne Sued Again For Not Paying $96,000 Fireworks Bill


Lil Wayne

New Orleans rapper, Lil Wayne, who now lives in Miami, has been sued for the umpteenth time, regarding non-payment of bills. A year ago, Wayne was sued for owing over $1,000,000 plus $800,000 in damages and legal fees regarding non-payment of a private jet he had customized and used for a year, as well as defrauding entertainment industry talent out of music royalties and engaging in copyright infringement. 

Due to the private jet lawsuit and his non-payment of $200,000 in legal fees his attorney is owed for defending it (albeit they lost the case but understandably so LOL) $2,000,000 of Wayne's $30,000,000 in art was seized this month by the Miami Dade's Sheriff Office, who raided his home under court order (the financial judgment). If Wayne wants his art back, he has to cough up the $2,000,000 he owes to his creditors. 

Wayne has now been sued by Pyrotek Special Effects regarding his 2013 concert tour, for failure to pay for fireworks displays used in his music shows. The company has obtained a court judgment for $96,000, as they had previously struck a settlement with Wayne to pay a financial figure, but he failed to do so. If Wayne does not pay, the sheriff's office could end up knocking the locks off his front door again and seizing more of his property.

People deserve to be paid for their work. I don't know why some in Hollywood, particularly the so-called, self-proclaimed "Illuminati" have the mentality that people's time, hard work and property are free for them to exploit for undue enrichment. You can afford to pay people what you owe them. Stop ripping people off.

11/9/2015 2:40 PM PST - Lil Wanye is getting pummeled by court judgments ... the latest by a pyrotechnics company that wants a pound of the rapper's flesh.

Wayne didn't pay and the company sued, but they struck a settlement. Thing is ... Wayne never paid up, so the company just went back to court and got a $96k judgment...

Lil Wayne's Mansion In Miami Raided By Police Who Seize His Assets


Lil Wayne

The $10,000,000 Miami mansion owned by Young Money rapper and drug addict, Lil Wayne, real name Dwayne Carter, was just raided by police. The authorities are in the process of seizing everything they can in the house, to satisfy a $2,000,000 court judgment against the rapper, resulting from a lawsuit brought by private jet company Signature Group in Miami. Lil Wayne leased a jet from the company he instructed them to customize to his specifications, but then failed to make any payments for over a year. This resulted in a lawsuit Wayne lost. Wayne has also failed to pay his layer $200,000 in legal fees for representing him in the case he lost.


Lil Wayne and fellow thief Birdman

Police deputies arrived at the property on La Gorce island, but were denied entry by Wayne's security guard. The police utilized the court order in their possession to raid the mansion and seize Wayne's assets which will be given to Signature Group to help satisfy the court judgment. The company will likely hold an auction to liquidate the seized assets, while select items will be sold to private companies who specializes in such purchases.


Lil Wayne could have filed bankruptcy, which would have granted him protection for at least 6-months and given him the ability to rearrange his debts and repay creditors under a plan. Some debts could have also been wiped out. However, he was too busy partying at a strip club in Los Angeles and Miami sheriffs raided his property.


Lil Wayne, a prodigious copyright thief, also owes the city of Miami over $200,000 in unpaid taxes, as previously reported on the site. The city is allowed to foreclosure on the home after 2-years of tax non-payment. The contemporary mansion still has a mortgage on it. Wayne has been making payments on the home for the past 4-years and in that time, there has been an uptick in home prices in Miami. However, Wayne did overpay for the mansion when it was purchased. Therefore, there may not be much equity in it.  

 

At the end of the day, Wayne was living a lifestyle he is not financially entitled to in any measure. Wayne is a prodigious copyright thief, who has been sued by veteran musicians, as well as newer songwriters and producers, for willfully stealing their copyrighted work, for undue financial gain. Wayne is also not paying his Young Money artists their correct royalties. They have sold millions of singles and albums and have not been paid even 20% of what they are owed under existing contracts. Their artists are struggling to buy homes and cars, opting to lease to keep up appearances.


Young Money's parent company, Cash Money, is even worse, ripping off artists, songwriters, producers and musicians, to the tune of millions, to allow its owner Brian Williams ("Birdman") to live in absolute luxury. Any way you slice it, this type of unethical behavior from Young Money and Cash Money constitutes copyright infringement (thefts of copyrights), fraud and grand theft larceny. Once again, Hollywood is an industry of thieves. If Congress properly regulated Hollywood, these disgraceful financial crimes would not be happening and damaging so many people.

Rapper The Game Blames Chris Brown's Former Friend Wackstar For Vandalizing His Porsche And Stealing $50,000 From The Singer In Home Invasion Robbery


Wackstar, Karrueche Tran and Chris Brown on Instagram in 2014

Compton, California rapper the Game has been on social networking slamming a man known as "Wackstar" who was a friend of singer Chris Brown and his ex-girlfriend, Karrueche Tran. The TMZ website reported, the Game, real name, Jayceon Taylor, is threatening to break Wackstar's jaw for damaging his Porsche and masterminding the break-in to Brown's mansion, tying up his aunt, Christine Brown, shoving her in a closet and stealing $50,000 in a safe, as well as electronics (including Brown's computer with his music work and other sensitive data on it).


Chris Brown returning home and finding out his home was burglarized and his aunt held at gunpoint

The Game stated,"Tell these fans who really had Chris Brown auntie tied up and his house broke in you p***y as* f****t. When I see you I'm gone break yo f***in jaw...So have yo gun on you p***y." Wackstar responded, "I know the real you, you wouldn't hurt a f****n fly...#ChangeOfHeatAs*Ni**a."


Chris Brown's closet fully of clothes and shoes provoked jealousy among some of his friends

Seriously, what does Wackstar do for a living that he can afford a large home and luxury cars. It gives a certain impression of illegal activity. Not to mention, Wackstar was the main one egging Brown on, regarding threatening male supermodel, Tyson Beckford, over an innocuous selfie with Tran. He also went ahead of Brown to Las Vegas trying to start trouble with Beckford, who hadn't done anything wrong, prompting Tran to flee the city.


Christine Brown

Wackstar is a troublemaker and one who has gotten Brown into very negative situations in the past, not caring that the singer was on parole. After the burglary into Brown's mansion, his mother stated online that it was one of his friends. His aunt also indicated the same to police, who continue to investigate the burglary.

 

The Game and his beautiful daughter Cali

For well over a year the Judiciary Report has warned Brown, who reads this site, about some of the friends in his circle (Getting Negative Influences Out Of Your Life and Chris Brown Announces More Tour Dates While Paying The Way Of Destructive OHB Crew among other articles). It's sad he and his family had to find out the hard way, especially his aunt. At least she was not killed or seriously injured. However, she is traumatized and shaken from what had to have been an awful experience. As the phrase goes, "With friends like these who needs enemies."

Tiny And TI Live Lavishly On TV But Owe The Government $4,500,000 In Back Taxes Resulting In IRS Liens


TI and Tiny

On their reality show "Family Hustle" rapper TI (Clifford Harris) and his wife, singer, Tiny (Tameka Harris), try to present an image of wholesomeness and teaching their children to do the right thing (never mind TI is an adulterous, song stealing rapper, who is apart of the disgraceful "Blurred Lines" copyright case and others). Therefore, it is a contradiction to their conduct on the show that the two millionaires have not been paying their income taxes.

A recent report in the New York Post indicates the couple owes the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) millions of dollars in back taxes, which resulted in the government agency slapping them with two federal tax liens totaling $4,500,000. The liens are for non-payment of taxes for the years 2012 and 2013. All that time they were flashing their wealth on television (the IRS does watch TV too).

The couple have made millions of dollars from music, movies and their reality show. TI recently opened a restaurant in Atlanta, Georgia, which required money. On the reality show "Family Hustle" the couple live in a large $4,500,000 Georgia mansion and drive several luxury cars. They take expensive trips and go on shopping sprees. However, the IRS didn't get their cut of the couple's earnings and are pursuing action against them for failure to pay taxes.

Rapper 50 Cent Lost $50 Million Dollars On G-Unit


50 Cent

The federal court bankruptcy case of rapper 50 Cent, real name Curtis Jackson, continues to expose the fact the star is not a good businessman. Court papers reveal 50 Cent lost $50,000,000 on rap label and merchandising line G-Unit over the past three years. An astute businessman would have disbanded the label and line after the first year of massive losses. However, 50 Cent kept the company open and continued lavish spending and other risky choices in his life that blew his fortune.


Social networking making jokes about 50 Cent's bankruptcy

Though 50 Cent is hiding money, he did spend significant portions of his fortune on lavish living. The purchase of Mike Tyson's former mansion in Farmington, Connecticut is costing the rapper $18,000 per month in mortgage payments and $20,000 in upkeep. 50 Cent's gardening bill is $5,000 per month. For that price, I'd just buy a sheep and tell the little fella, "Look, a buffet just for you" and let him be the lawnmower.


50 Cent's mansion in Connecticut

50 Cent certainly is not broke, as his mansion is worth millions and almost paid for and he has $2,700,000 in the bank. However, he was sued and lost two big lawsuits. 50 Cent now owes $22,700,000 in  court judgments, which threatens to wipe out much of his assets. As a result, the Judiciary Report has been informed 50 Cent has become suicidal at the thought of having to pay those court judgments. This is ironic as he made Lastonia Leviston suicidal in leaking a sex tape she made with her boyfriend, which led a jury to slap 50 Cent with a $5,000,000 judgment.

50 Cent Says He Is A Fake In Bankruptcy Court With A Net Worth Of $4,400,000 Not $150,000,000 But Is He Hiding Money And Assets


50 Cent

Deceitful rapper 50 Cent, real name Curtis Jackson, made an appearance in bankruptcy court yesterday stating his whole lifestyle is a fraud regarding the image of wealth he portrays. Forbes magazine estimated 50 Cent's net worth is $150,000,000. However, the rapper told the Manhattan Supreme Court he is only worth $4,400,000. If you say so, Curtis.

50 Cent is lying to the court through his supersized capped teeth, as he was sued and handed hefty judgments in two cases totaling $22,200,000. Being the greedy, lawless person he is, 50 Cent would rather commit bankruptcy fraud than pay what is owed. The lawsuits were not frivolous and are the direct result of his criminal behavior, arrogance and greed. These are not individuals exploiting 50 Cent. These are individuals 50 Cent criminally exploited and they sued him and won.

 

The first case is Sleek Audio vs. Curtis Jackson, in which the company was awarded $17,200,000 after 50 Cent committed criminal copyright infringement, patent infringement and corporate theft in stealing the technology and design of earphones that were pitched to him by the Plaintiff. Sleek Audio wanted 50 Cent as a front man. He got greedy and decided to break the law and steal their product, giving it a new name. 50 Cent renamed the stolen earphones from Sleek Audio to SMS Audio.

The second case, Lastonia Leviston v. Curtis Jackson, is a disgusting one, as 50 Cent cruelly obtained a private sex tape featuring the Plaintiff, who is the mother of rapper Rick Ross' child and uploaded it to the internet. 50 Cent did so out of spite and arrogance. It was a wicked thing to do. Leviston was so distressed, distraught, embarrassed and humiliated, she became "suicidal."

 

50 Cent's mansion in Connecticut should be sold to pay off his debts

Leviston did not sign up to be a porn star in this matter, but 50 Cent illegally turned her into one and deserved to lose that case for being so terrible to her. I have no sympathy for him in this. What if she had killed herself, as other young women have done in the same and similar situation (private sexting and nudes illegally made public).

50 Cent has assets and is not entitled to bankruptcy protection. 50 Cent's Farmington, Connecticut mansion he bought from boxer Mike Tyson is worth between $15,000,000 to $20,000,000. He has owned it for nearly a decade and has been making mortgage payments on it. 50 Cent received a significant amount of stock in Vitamin Water in exchange for endorsing the product upon its debut years ago. It netted him millions of dollars. He has endorsement deals with Effen Vodka and Frigo.


50 Cent's mansion in Connecticut

50 Cent owns a home in New York that he had burned to the ground to chase out Shaniqua Tompkins, the mother of his then underage child, who was also in residence. 50 Cent was angry Tompkins, whom he was no longer dating, had a boyfriend living in the house with her. 50 Cent collected the insurance money after the blaze. He also purchased a condo in Los Angeles for Daphne Joy, the mother of his second child, to live with his son. He subsequently trashed the furniture he bought and beat her, resulting in his arrest.

Since his debut in 2003, 50 Cent has sold over 20,000,000 albums worldwide, 10,000,000 singles and embarked on many tours and live shows, bringing in millions of dollars in profit. He has made $500,000 from his acting career (despite the fact he can't act).

 

50 Cent's mansion in Connecticut

50 Cent has also purchased a number of luxury vehicles. He claims they are all leased, but that is not true. You cannot lease luxury vehicles and alter them as he has done to some of the cars he has driven. It would be a violation of the lease. 50 Cent has also made hefty bets on sporting events and won money. His net worth is not $4,400,000. Therefore, he is hiding money and assets. He can afford to pay the judgments and have money and assets left over for himself. He just finds it extremely difficult to part with $22,000,000 to pay court judgments over his poor choices. Therefore, his bankruptcy case is not legitimate. This is not what bankruptcy is for.

Bankruptcy is for people in genuine financial distress, who need legal relief, not for millionaires hiding assets in attempting to get out of multi-million dollar court judgments caused by their stupidity and arrogance in violating other people's rights. Bankruptcy fraud is also a felony investigated by the federal government and is punishable by 5-years in prison and $250,000 in fines.

Beware Of Investment Scammers Who Prey On The Public


There are many legitimate investment companies in the world dedicated to growing people's wealth. However, there are some who are individuals secretly operating as thieves, fraudsters and con artists. They sell the public a dream and use their own lives as a so-called example of how you can achieve wealth. They prey on the public's desire for a better life and financial stability. They show off their luxury home, vehicle and designer clothes as proof they are good with money and can be entrusted with yours. However, some are using investor money to pay for the luxury items they flash to the public and are living on maxed out credit cards.

When you invest with a scammer, easy money may roll in at first, but if it is a fraudulent investment scheme, you will get back far less than you put in. Additionally, a situation could arise where prosecutors sue to get back profits you were given that you were not entitled to as the whole thing was a scheme, whether you had knowledge of it or not. Then you will require a lawyer and accrue attorney's fees to get yourself out of the legal mess. Therefore, properly research anyone or company you choose to invest with. Check with regulatory agencies in your nation to ascertain if they are in good standing and lawfully operating. Do internet searches for complaints from consumers. Make sure they have a good reputation before you entrust them with your money.

Be careful investing your money with friends. Some lack the expertise and understanding of the financial markets to truly bring you a good short term and long term return on your investment. If you are going to make a sizeable investment, which is risky, it is better to invest with wealthy companies that have a proven track record (because if they make reckless choices, which is not the norm, you can sue and there would likely be something you can recoup from their assets). However, at the end of the day, when you invest, you must remember, there is no guaranty you will make money and you could lose all the cash you've invested. Choose wisely.

Lil Wayne Puts Miami Mansion On The Market As He Is No Longer Able To Afford It Due To Music Company Young Money Going Bankrupt (Tax Records)


Lil Wayne

Former felon Lil Wayne's music is not making enough money to pay his bills. As the Judiciary Report stated in a past article, the drug addicted rap star is being sued left, right and center for non-payment of bills (Young Money Becoming Broke Money As Creditors Sue Lil Wayne And Company). One of his creditors, who sued him for $1,000,000 over a customized private jet, stated Lil Wayne lives by the LaGorce Country Club on Miami Beach's LaGorce island, but won't pay his bills.


Wayne has put his mansion in Miami on the market for $18,000,000, a price that is a bit steep for that property, especially in the current market. Wayne purchased the La Gorce Circle, 8 bedroom, 15,000 square foot house in 2011 for $11,800,000 and is seeking to make a big profit. The home's assessed value is approximately $10,000,000.


The property taxes on the mansion is not cheap. According to Miami tax assessors' records Wayne is delinquent and owes the city $196,824.09 in property taxes for 2014 (dude, I think they want their money). Maintaining a home at that price tag requires significant funds on a monthly and yearly basis.


Last month the home was the subject of a hoax, as a call was placed to 911 claiming people were shot and killed at the property. This prompted a dozen SWAT police officer to storm the property, only to find out the whole thing was a hoax (known as swatting). Wayne was not home at the time of the incident.


Wayne's record record label Young Money is also in financial straits. Young Money and Wayne have been sued for copyright infringement in stealing music from legendary singers as well as indie recording acts, songwriters and producers. They have also been sued for non-payment of bills. Young Money artists' albums are being shelved as well, due to lack of finances to properly release and market the projects, as well as paying for music videos (and industry illegalities, such as payola, chart rigging and buying one's own releases).


Furthermore, how can one effectively run a record label partying and getting high all the time. You can't do it in that manner. Some mainstream artists are starting subsidiary record labels and stealing from many to get material for their own artists in what is illegal conduct. It is a complete and utter sham and scam.

Chris Brown's New Neighbor Makes Death Threat Stating He Will Shoot Him


Chris Brown: you want to shoot me?! 

Chris Brown sold his million dollar mansion in the star studded Hollywood Hills weeks after on and off again girlfriend, Rihanna, moved into his neighborhood, seeking to be closer to him. The minute Brown was released from jail on a probation violation, he hightailed it out of there and moved to the family friendly San Fernando Valley.


Brown began renting a mansion in Agoura, California, near the Agoura Hills in scenic Malibu. The views in Malibu are very serene and tranquil. Weeks after Brown's arrival in Agoura, his new neighbor has made a death threat against him. Brown's new neighbor stated if he steps onto his property he is going to shoot him dead. Tough neighborhood! You sure you didn't move to Compton (LOL).


His neighbor's words were very unwise. He has shown a predisposition to hate and in the event something does happen it will be labeled as intent and used against you in court. Let Brown be. He didn't move to Agoura for trouble. He is trying to get away from it.

STORY SOURCE

Chris Brown's Neighbor Problem -- Come on My Property, I'll Shoot You

7/29/2014 12:50 AM PDT - Brown may have new, more troubling neighbor issues ... we've found out he's moved deep into the San Fernando Valley, and one of his new neighbors is threatening lethal force if Chris steps onto his property. Real estate sources tell TMZ ... Chris is renting an 8,000 square foot, 6 bedroom house in Agoura ... it's near the Malibu border but technically part of the Valley... 

Now the problem. We spoke with one of his neighbors, who said flatly, "It can be the devil. I can care less. I don't care if they're having orgies. It can even be Saddam Hussein for all I care, as long as he doesn't trespass onto my property. If he does, I shoot him."...

Sean Kingston’s Bentley Repossessed In Latest Financial Woe


Sean Kingston

24-year-old Jamaican-American rapper Sean Kingston is famous for the hit songs “Beautiful Girls” and “Eenie Meenie” with pop star Justin Bieber. Kingston, who was born in Miami, Florida, but spent a few of his formative years in Jamaica, the island of his mother’s birth, toured extensively with a number of pop and rap artists, earning several hundred thousand dollars in concert fees. 

In 2011, Kingston’s career was derailed after a terrible jet ski accident on Miami Beach’s Palm Island left him hospitalized with broken bones, water in the lungs and a heart attack. This month, he is facing financial trouble, as his Bentley was repossessed in Los Angels, due to allegedly owing back payments. Kingston insists he made the payments. 

In 2012, Kingston left the $25,000 per month mansion he rented on Miami Beach, Florida. He was sued by his landlord for $21,397 for damaging the property (sprinklers, lawn lights and railings ect) and for $2,400 in back rent. Kingston shared the home with his mother. Kingston also spent money on girlfriends, which is a bad idea. If you’re not married to the person or are supporting your children, why are you giving women money. So many male stars make this mistake, spending large sums of money on women who are only having sex with them due to their money and fame. The minute the money and or fame is gone, so are the women. 

Kingston has made the mistake many entertainers and athletes do, which the Judiciary Report has warned about in articles for years, they believe the money will always be coming in and fail to save for a rainy day and spend within their means. Just because you make $500,000 one year, doesn’t mean you will make that amount or greater next year. 


Sean Kingston and Justin Bieber

More often than not, entertainers and athletes usually make less money as time goes by. Not everyone is going to be making big money like Justin Bieber or Floyd Mayweather. Injury, illness, tragedy or legal troubles can strike anyone at anytime. Be financially wise and prudent with your money from day one.
For the $25,000 per month Kingston rented the mansion on Miami Beach for, he could have bought a condo somewhere else on Miami Beach and owned it outright. However, many entertainers and athletes get their first few checks and spend too much of the money without proper financial planning. 

There’s nothing wrong with starting small. Get a small starter home or condo with payments you can comfortably afford. Do not rent, as that’s money you’ll never see again. Go to the bank and get a loan and make the payments on time every month. Then, if and when the money truly starts rolling in to the point you can afford a bigger property, sell or rent out the smaller home and buy a bigger one that you CAN AFFORD. 

Start a small, smart business that’s your own and carefully watch your investment. You need something to fall back on. Don’t waste your money living the high life for a couple years, spending money on women and their whims, then have nothing to show for it.

Whitney Houston’s First Mansion For Sale At $1,500,000


Whitney Houston

The unusual Mendham, New Jersey home of the late singer Whitney Houston is back on the market at $1,500,000. The five-bedroom circular house was purchased by Houston when she first hit it big in the 1980s, with a string of very popular hit songs. Houston, the best singer of her generation, spent a lot of time in the 5-acre home, even getting married on the grounds in 1992. 


People who were kids in the late 1980s and early 1990s remember Houston conducting humorous interviews from the house on “The Arsenio Hall Show” among other programs. It was also featured on “Being Bobby Brown” which centered on her life and that of her former husband, singer Bobby Brown and their daughter, Bobbi Kristina Brown. 


Throughout her career Houston owned properties in Los Angeles, Miami and Atlanta, but based on interviews, the Mendham home was her favorite as a native daughter of New Jersey. She was definitely a groundbreaking artist, whose talent greatly outshone all her contemporaries.
