But now her older brother Micheal has revealed HE was the one who introduced her to drugs.
Speaking to Oprah Winfrey in a tell-all interview, Michael said: 'I feel responsible I let it go so far.
'We were always being together most of the time and her following behind me. I taught her to drive, we played together, everything you do as you're growing up.

She said: 'My son called me and he was screaming, "Mom, Mommy," Then, oh God. I said, "What is wrong, what's wrong?" He just said, "Nippy. Nippy." I said, "What's wrong with Nippy?"
'He said, "I don't know, I can't go back up there (Whitney's hotel room).... They found Nippy." I said, "They found her what, what?"
'And I was getting annoyed because he wasn't telling me anything. He said, "Mommy..."

Cissy may not please too many fans of her late daughter with the rest of her book.
The parent claims she taught the megastar everything she knows and he family used to joke that she stole everything about her singing style from her mother.
She continued to Oprah: ‘I made her what she was. She had been watching me in sessions and onstage for years, picking up pacing, breathing, and microphone techniques, and then adding her own little nuances, too.
'My son Michael used to joke with me about Nippy’s technique—“ Ma,” he’d say, “Nippy should be in jail for stealing all your riffs and everything. You should sue her.”’

It Cissy also quashed rumours once and for that Aretha Franklin – for whom she had worked for many years - was her daughter’s godmother.
She explained: ‘I would tease Ree about supposedly being Nippy’s godmother— a story that started years before, when I was touring with her and she came over to our house on Dodd Street.
Nippy was so impressed with Aretha that she started telling all her friends she was her godmother, and the story stuck because Ree never denied it. Eventually, reporters picked it up and everybody assumed it was true. And Nippy never did stop telling people that.’
She is even frank enough to address talk of Whitney’s lesbian relationship with Robyn Crawford, a woman she lived with from the age of 18.
