Pusha T’s recently released album “Daytona” has drawn a lot of attention thanks to a multitude of storylines. While the internet is buzzing about the reignited feud between #PushaT and #Drake, others are stuck on the artwork chosen for the album.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
From one R&B great, Bobby Brown, the move by #KanyeWest to make a photo of Whitney Houston’s bathroom counter covered in drugs, the album’s cover is inexcusable.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
“Why would he post that on his album cover?” #BobbyBrown asked in reference to #Kanye. “That’s really disgusting that he would do that. That’s in really bad taste. Something should happen to Kanye. He’s already crazy. I knew that when I first met him. Now he’s pushing the bar a little bit. He needs somebody to slap him up or something. And I’m just the person to do it.”

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Brown’s statements came during an interview with Rolling Stone Wednesday, just days after Houston’s Estate expressed their disdain for the album cover.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
“Even in Whitney’s death, we see that no one is exempt from the harsh realities of the world,” the Estate said.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Pusha revealed in an interview with Angie Martinez that the choice to use the image depicting the height of Houston’s tragic addiction was initiated by West.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
According to Pusha T, West told him, “this is what people need to see to go along with that music.” Pusha also revealed that West covered the $85,000 tab to cover licensing fees for the image.
