Washington, Apr 5 : Singer Bobby Brown once secretly dated Madonna, he reveals in his new autobiography.

In 'Bobby Brown: The Truth, the Whole Truth and Nothing But...', the Rand B star claims that no one was immune to his charms, not even the Material Girl.

Brown claims that after moving on from the teen band New Edition and finding success as a solo artist, he successfully seduced 'half the industry'.

"By the time I reached my third single on the Don't Be Cruel album, I was one of the biggest stars in the world. You know what that means. With success comes the women! A wise man once told me that. At this time, I probably had dated half of the industry, including Madonna," Contactmusic quoted him, as saying in his book.

"I met Madonna early in my career. She used to open up shows for New Edition in New York at the beginning of her career, so running back into her and getting to know her better at the height of my success was like a reunion. The list goes on from the who's who to the flavour of the month," he added.
