“WE WERE WRONG!” MIKE BIVINS REGRETS KICKING BOBBY BROWN OUT OF NEW EDITION AFTER ONSTAGE FIGHT

In this past clip from My Expert Opinion Episode #196, Mike Bivins sits down with Math Hoffa to revisit one of the most emotional moments in New Edition’s history — the night the group had a real onstage fight in Oakland and ultimately kicked out Bobby Brown.

Bivins shares what really happened during their “Mr. Telephone Man” performance that turned into a brawl on stage, and how management’s decision to send Bobby home left him with lifelong regret.

He breaks down Bobby’s rebellious nature (“He was like A.I. — ‘F* that practice!’**”), the pressure from managers, and how youthful ego and misunderstanding led to a painful split. Mike also tells a never-before-told story about Gerald Busby’s visit to Boston, which became the turning point that helped Bobby Brown restart his career and land his solo hit “Girlfriend.”
