Hello: I'm the father of Robert H. Brown IV who was recently slain in a home invasion here in Chattanooga. I was reading your article today on my son and I noticed some discrepancies: First of all, my son has never been homeless. He lived with his mother and myself as a baby and toddler, and after I divorced his mother in 1976, he continued to live with his mother. When he was about 14 years old, he went to live with an aunt because of problems with his mother and he resided with his aunt until he was 18 and decided to strike out on his own. My son and I have always had a close relationship; in fact, he always visited myself and his stepmother when he was in town. Also, besides Black Ice Records, my wife and I are the only ones he felt comfortable in coming to for assistance when he needed it. Just the fact that he is called the VI when he is, in fact, Robert IV shows that some of these friends don't know what they are talking about. Also, he was nicknamed Lee Lee when he was a baby. I surmise that no one told the media that Robert has a father and stepmother right here in Chattanooga. If you want the facts, you need to talk to me. Thank you!
