Nick Gordon, who was never officially adopted by Whitney Houston, also told fans only to follow Bobbi Kristina’s real account.

He tweeted: “Good morning everyone. Their lots of fake people pretending to be MY Krissi. The real one is @REALbkBrown. Fakes need to get un followed (sic)”

Bobbi Kristina Brown has not been on the social networking website since December but she and Nick Gordon tweeted each other regularly in the months towards the end of last year.

While they appeared to each other as sister and brother, Nick Gordon’s latest tweets seem to suggest their relationship has become something more.
