Teddy Riley said this on the Red Bull music academy podcast. Mike said that he talks like that to train his vocal chords

Lot of people don't know this. When puberty kicked in and the dog whisper voice started it was mainly because he didn't want to "shave" the high notes out of his range by allowing his register to deepen as his vocal cords widened so he learned how to hold his throat muscles in a certain way to still be able to hit 4 octaves. He feared that if he lost that childs tone his career was over and after a while just ran with the gimmick because a) it made him seem innocent/non threatening b) it got people talking about him and c) he could still hit the notes he wanted.

Something Mariah & Whitney failed to do late in their careers to save their highest notes. Whitney obv drugs knocked her out the box but Mariah lost all of her high register (probably from over singing for so long).
