Singer will face music for failing to set up kids' college fund

A judge who lashed out at Bobby Brown in the past is expected to grill the r & b singer next week, this time for ignoring a court order to set up a college education fund for his two children.

The deadbeat dad was due in Norfolk Probate Court in Canton yesterday, but the case was delayed to May 4 so Judge Paula Carey could hear it.

Carey has ordered Brown to appear in court every month to make sure he's paying child support.

This time, Brown will have to explain why he hasn't put a dime in a $170,000 college fund for the two kids he has with ex-girlfriend Kim Ward of Stoughton, said Norfolk Register of Probate Patrick W. McDermott.

Carey sent the Roxbury native to jail in March last year, where he stayed a day before he came up with $63,500 in back child support. Brown's lawyer claimed the former chart-topper was broke and his troubled wife, Whitney Houston, paid the bills.

In June of last year, he fell behind $16,500. Two weeks ago, he owed $15,000 in child support, but has since paid up through June.

Brown was in Boston Monday night at the Celtics game and to see his children, who are on school vacation, according to a source.
