As most fans of the late, great Whitney Houston know, she and Bebe Winans go way back, like Cracker Jacks. Now, you’re probably wondering why in the world are we talking about gospel singer, Bebe, when our headline clearly is about Whitney and Michael Jackson. The reason for that, is because it’s Bebe who revealed exactly what MJ did for Whitney for her birthday back in the day and the way he told the story had us crackin’ up.
Bebe Winans’ Details Of Whitney’s & MJ’s Monkey-Gift Fiasco
According to what Bebe wrote in his book, ‘The Whitney I Knew,” Michael surprised Whitney with a very odd gift that had everybody scratchin’ their heads. He gifted Whitney with a monkey! Nope, not a stuffed animal like you’d win at an arcade…but rather, a real-life PET MONKEY…much like the pet MJ had in Bubbles! Ain’t that a blip?!! But you MUST see what Bebe explained in detail about how the monkey gift went over with his good friend, Whitney, at that time. Bebe witnessed the whole ordeal first-hand, and what he described about that fateful encounter is hilarious…as was Whitney’s reaction to MJ’s monkey gift. It all went down when Whitney and Michael Jackson reportedly dated!
Bebe Winans: “Whitney threw an exclusive party – a BIG party,” said Bebe. It was “complete with a who’s who of attendees, loads of food, a beautifully decorated tent, and excellent music. … Cece [Winans] and I just stayed on the sidelines of the party, watching her enjoy the evening…she mingled with everyone.”
Then, In Walked Michael Jackson With The Gift Nobody Expected!
BW: “That was also the night we discovered that Michael Jackson had given Whitney a MONKEY as her birthday present. Everyone seemed amused, but I’m sure they were all thinking the same thing I was – This is crazy! Who gives monkeys to people for their birthdays?”
Whitney’s Reaction To MJ’s Monkey Gift Will Trip You Out!
BW: “Whitney couldn’t believe it. She read Michael’s card, looked at me, and said, ‘What am I going to do with a monkey?’ We both laughed. “As soon as this party’s over, that monkey is getting dropped off at the zoo!”
Whitney’s reaction was hilarious…and Michael sure did had a way with the ladies, no doubt.
