Titan Baddie’s pre tweetmentary of Houston’s Netflix documentary.

We are thrilled to have an account with the handler @titanbaddie, who provides us with fascinating and intricate details about the lives of celebrities all over the world. They take us on a journey from Africa to America and beyond, delving into stories that range from portraits of Naomi Campbell’s debauchery featured in Madonna’s book, to uncovering Whitney Houston’s lesser-known past as a lesbian. Their insights continue to captivate us even now, as they shed light on the ever-evolving world of celebrities, including the enigmatic Elon Musk and his ventures with X. It’s truly a joyful experience to be part of this exciting exploration.

Before the Whitney Houston biopic was out, Titan Baddie kind of delivered it to us in a few tweets broken between years and weeks. If you follow Titan Baddie on Elon Musk’s X, you will not be watching a Netflix documentary about Whitney Houston’s sexuality, among other things, but rather Titan Baddie’s tweets. Much of watching this documentary entailed comparing the lesbian tale to Titan Baddie’s notion of lesbinism around Whitney Houston, therefore it was quite fascinating to find everything matching from costumes, set interiors, to Titan’s tweets.
