Osama wants me dead - Bobby Brown

Tuesday, August 7, 2007

Musician Bobby Brown believes exiled al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden wants to kill him.

The My Prerogative singer - who has been on tour in Australia - has been living in fear of the terror mastermind after discovering he is a huge fan of his ex-wife Whitney Houston.

Bobby recently increased his personal security to protect him from bin Laden's terrorist organisation al Qaeda.

He is quoted as saying: "I figure if bin Laden wants me, and everybody is looking for him, it probably won't happen. But if he wants to try and find me for something so stupid, he can do what he wants. I have to leave it in the hands of my higher power.

"Come on, if anybody else was threatened by al Qaeda, they'd take it seriously."

Writer Kola Boof and an alleged bin Laden mistress claimed last year the terrorist wanted Bobby killed so he could make Whitney one of his wives.

Bobby and Whitney's divorce was finalised in April, but the singer is still cautious.

His former lover, hip-hop dancer Karrine Steffans, has revealed he also believed US President George W Bush wanted him dead.

Steffans said: "He said, 'We should flee the country.' We were staying at the Ritz-Carlton in Marina del Rey for a couple of weeks.

"He and Whitney had separated. I helped him as much as I could."
