Hip-Hop Rumors: Classic R&B Rumors, How Whitney Saved Bobby From Murderous Madman

This may be common knowledge but I never heard it until very recently. But, back in the day, Bobby and Whitney used to get it in apparently. Bobby was out in the “world” and accrued a debt of about $25k to a coke dealer. Well, the dealer could not get to Bobby, because he was very well guarded. So, the debt was “bought out” by a man named Preacher and he said he would get the money – and then some.

This all happened in about the year 1993, some 20 years ago.

At the time Whitney scored a huge hit in “The Bodyguard” oddly. And she was well compensated on it. But Preacher and his crew “The Preacher” crew tied Bobby up and kidnapped him. He told Whitney they need to play up $400,000 or Bobby was dead. Now, I’ve heard of Preacher and his work. He was not to be messed with. He was a well known killer. The way I remembered him was with the killing of Rich Porter’s little brother. They just killed him AFTER Rich was killed…they couldn’t get any money out of Rich at that point.

Anyway, Clarence “The Black Hand of Death” Heatley aka “Preacher” was a 6-foot-7, 260-pound behemoth and he didn’t play for nothing. I’m assuming Whitney realized this, because she paid up and got her man back. When she did, it was something like this.
