BeBe Winans Reflects on Whitney Houston's Struggles with Fame and Generosity

The gospel singer shares personal memories of the late music icon, highlighting her desire for normalcy and her acts of kindness.

BeBe Winans described Whitney Houston as a close friend and 'beyond a sister' during a recent interview.
Winans revealed that Houston often felt 'caged' by her fame and longed to do ordinary activities like walking in malls.
Houston would sometimes retreat to Winans' home in Nashville to escape the pressures of fame and find solace.
The singer once helped Winans purchase a home by gifting him $50,000 after his down payment was rejected by a bank.
Houston passed away in 2012 at the age of 48, with her death ruled as accidental drowning, influenced by heart disease and cocaine use.
