Bobby Brown Is Desperate For Money... Or At Least a 1997 Ford Expo

Bobby Brown was invited to guest star on the TV One reality series "I Married a Baller". In return, he asked for a car and the producers agreed thinking he meant a ride to the studio. When Bobby got picked up, he asked where his new car was and that is where the confusion began. The show was willing to give him enough to rent a car for a month or even pick up a 1997 Ford Expo. But a new car??? Who did he think he was? Whitney Houston? COME ON BOBBY! Eventually, the terms couldn't be met and the show was never taped.

"When he asked for a car, we actually thought he meant for us to book him car service, and I told the producers to set it up," the show's executive producer, Datari Turner, told Daily News contributor Jawn Murray. "But then I was told that he actually wanted us to buy him a car!"
Brown's longtime friend and occasional rep, Ray Pouncey, told TV One that Brown was new to Los Angeles and didn't have wheels, so a car would be the ideal payment instead of an appearance fee. Brown apparently wanted Taj to formally present the vehicle to him on the show as a gift.
"I was open to it at first and wanted to know what price range he was looking for, because for the standard appearance fee we could have gotten him a 1997 Ford Expo or maybe a 1995 Pathfinder," Datari said. "Maybe even a month-long rental car. But we knew he wanted something new, so we had to pass on booking him." (source)
