Whitney Houston's cousin Damon Elliott is furious after Kanye West used a picture of her bathroom full of drug paraphernalia for Pusha-T's album.

The 40-year-old rapper produced the 'Daytona' LP and paid USD 85,000 for the photograph, which was secretly taken by Houston's sister-in-law Tina Brown in 2006.

Elliott said he got to know about the planned use of the image when his daughter told him.

"She was frantic. She sent me this picture from the album cover and I immediately got sick to my stomach because it took me right back to six years ago. I was actually in shock because I'm in the music business. I've watched the train wreck happening, but I didn't think he'd go this far in invading someone's family privacy.

"To do something for a publicity stunt to sell records, it's absolutely disgusting. It hurt my family and my daughter. It's petty. It's tacky," Elliot told People magazine.
