BOBBY BROWN'S FIRST CHILD

Little Landon was born as the result of a love affair with singer Bobby Brown when both he and Melika were just 17.

The couple split up when Landon was two years old, but his parents remained on friendly terms, and although his mother had primary custody, Brown was an attentive and very present dad.

Brown, who was famously married to pop diva Whitney Houston has 7 children, of which 33-year-old Landon is the oldest. On his mother's side, Landon has two brothers whom she shares with Carl - Carl Jr, and Malek.

MARRIAGE TO WHITNEY HOUSTON

WHITNEY HOUSTON'S DEATH

When Whitney passed away on February 11, 2012, Landon's first concern was for his sister Bobbie Kristina, then 19, whom he felt might be surrounded by "the wrong people" who would take advantage of her vulnerable state.

Landon didn't like Bobbi Kristina's boyfriend, Nick Gordon, whom he described bitterly as:

"A leach, a tag-along, a weak individual who can't do for himself."

LOSING A SISTER

According to Landon, Gordon was a school friend who first showed romantic interest in Bobbi Kristina after she inherited her mother's massive estate. He avoided talking about Gordon to his sister, whom he blames for encouraging her to consume drugs.

In January 2015, in a bizarre reprisal of Whitney Houston's death, Bobbi Kristina drowned in her bathtub and was found by Gordon who called 911. Bobbi Kristina was alive but severely brain-damaged.

Six months later, Bobbi Kristina, whom the doctors declared to be irrevocably brain damaged, passed away. Landon, who was at the hospital by his sister's side for the entire ordeal believed that she would recover.

Bobbi Kristina passed away on July 26, 2015. She was just 22, and Landon has never come to terms with the tragedy. He revealed that he would still like an explanation from Nick Gordon:

"I'd want him .[Nick Gordon] to tell me more, I'd want to see his eyes, 'Look me in the eyes (...) because I will know right away if you are lying to me.'"
