Whitney Houston not only had her daughter, Bobbi Kristina Brown, but she also had godchildren. Two of her godchildren, Brandi Boyd and Amber Melvisha, appeared in the Lifetime documentary, Whitney Houston & Bobbi Kristina: Didn’t We Almost Have It All.
They are both known for their different endeavors. Here’s what you need to know about where they are today:
Brandi Boyd Was on Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood
If Brandi Boyd looks familiar it’s because she has been on reality television. Boyd, along with her husband producer Marcus “Max Lux” Boyd, were on Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood during seasons two and three. Before venturing into reality television, Boyd was a member of a female rap duo called Queenz. In 2015, they released a single called “Gangsta Chick.”
Boyd made headlines recently after she went on Instagram Live during an intense argument with her husband. The argument sparked concerns that Boyd was being victimized by her husband.
“Last time y’all see him beat on me,” Boyd said in the video. “You won’t have to see this ever again. I promise you that. Never again will you see your mom get beat on.”
In the video, Marcus Boyd can be heard telling her “I’m about to f*** you up b****.”
After the alarming Instagram Live, she posted a statement saying that her husband didn’t put his hands on her.
“I am fine he didn’t touch me I was choking him and fighting him all he did was verbal abuse me back I am sorry for going live,” the post said. “I did that to force us to take space knowing he wouldn’t want to argue on Live. Please pray for my family the devil is attacking so strong.”
Shortly after that incident, Boyd revealed that she was pregnant with their third child in an Instagram post. They already have two children together, a daughter named Cadence and a son named Brandus.
