I saw Whitney and Bobby Brown smoke crack in front of Bobbi Kristina when she was 5-years-old - Whitney Houston's Chauffeur

He said: 'Bobbi always wanted to be just like her mom and now it seems she may have followed in her footsteps.

'It's heart-breaking, a real tragedy. This young girl was raised in a world no child should live in.'

Bowman says he drove Houston for two decades and witnessed first hand the singer's spiral into a drug-fueled meltdown before and after her daughter was born. 

AL Bowman, Houston’s chauffeur witnessed one of Bobbi’s first experience of drugs as a five-year-old. 

He said Bobbi always wanted too be like her mother.  And that it seems she may have followed her footsteps.  He said he watched helplessly as Houston and husband Bobby Brown became wasted in the back almost daily.

Bowman also recalls driving Houston into rundown ghettos in Los Angeles to meet shady drug dealers so the star could score more drugs.

But when Houston's drug abuse became so severe that she openly smoked crack in front of her young daughter Bobbi, Bowman knew she had crossed a line.

'I couldn't believe it, it was heart-breaking, out of control,' he said.

'Whitney was a complete train wreck. I couldn't bear seeing her daughter sat there in amongst it all, it was so sad.

'I wanted to help her but Whitney was just too out of control and wouldn't listen to anyone.'

Bowman recalls how that day he had picked up Houston, her husband Bobby Brown and their daughter Bobbi from their LA home and drove them to the airport. 

Bowman said that during the limo ride Bobby Brown offered Houston some crack cocaine as a 'pick you up' - while little Bobbi jumped up and down on the seats.  'He [Bobby Brown] had brought it [crack] with him. He had a skinny pipe. He seemed like he was okay, it was her health that was really affected. 

'He seemed like he was used to it, like he could handle it. He was giving it to her. 

As her daughter played beside her, Houston took hold of a thin pipe filled with crack cocaine and put it to her lips.

As she did so she told young Bobbi: 'Baby, calm down, Mommy and Daddy are doing adult things'.

The disturbing moment in 1998 came as Houston was gripped by a drug addiction and openly smoked crack in front of Bobbi.
