(Bauer Griffin)more picsBobby Brown loves Whitney Houston "with everything that [he is,]" although he alleges she introduced him to hard drugs and a lifetime of substance abuse problems. Hmm. Meanwhile, Wiz Khalifa got in trouble for marijuana possession for the umpteenth time, Kanye West responded to domestic abuse rumors in a new remix, a bunch of musicians showed their support for the Occupy movement on May Day, and a whole bunch of Justin Bieber fans are going to pass out tomorrow. Here's the latest in music news.

Whitney and Bobby in happier times. (Bauer Griffin)  •  In a 2009 interview with Oprah Winfrey, Whitney Houstononce hinted that her relationship with Bobby Brown had led to her substance abuse problem, claiming, "He was my drug. I didn’t do anything without him. I wasn’t getting high by myself."

But in a new interview with NBC's Matt Lauer, Bobby paints a much different picture: "I didn't get high before I met Whitney. I smoked weed, um, I drinked beer, but I wasn't the one that got Whitney on drugs."

"I worried about [Whitney's drug use] when we first got together until I tried it. And when I tried it, for some reason I have an addictive personality. It's unexplainable. But no, I wasn't the one who got her addicted to drug. I'm not the reason she's gone."
