LONDON:

Bobby Brown dated Madonna before he married Whitney Houston. The singer claims he was intimate with Madonna at the height of his success.

Bobby, who makes the revelations in his autobiography Bobby Brown: The Truth, the Whole Truth and Nothing But, writes, “By the time I reached my third single on the Don’t Be Cruel album, I was one of the biggest stars in the world. With success comes the women! At this time, I probably had dated half of the industry including Madonna. I met Madonna early in my career. Sused to open up shows for New Edition in New York, so running back into her and getting to know her better was like a reunion.”
