If there was one thing I was looking forward to this upcoming season 25 of Dancing With The Stars, it was seeing Bobby Brown teach all the other contestants exactly why Whitney Houston once called him the ‘king.’ Hell, truth be told, Bobby was the only reason I was gonna watch the show in the first place.

We all know Bobby is one of the dopest dancers of his era. So even if you hadn’t yet heard that he was going to be on DWTS, it probably comes as no surprise. Before his reign could even start though, word on the Old School curb is that he’s already dropped out of the competition. Check out the details below…

Via TJB: Bobby Brown was originally slated to be on this new season of DWTS, but recently pulled out. There were issues with his contract, and he couldn’t come to an agreement with ABC that it would be worth it to do the show”

With contestants like retired NBA, player, Derek Fisher -who is reportedly starring on the new season as well- seeing Bobby B. KILL it on the dance floor would have been great entertainment.

Now, I know some of you may be thinking to yourselves, ‘Bobby’s running man dance ain’t what it used to be.’ That’s understandable, but for a naturally gifted dancer like Bobby, the art of dance is probably like riding a bike- something he never forgets how to do.
