Brian McKnight refused to say ‘I love you’ to dying son Niko: ‘I can’t’
Brian McKnight Jr. claims that his estranged dad, Brian McKnight, refused to say “I love you” to his son Niko before he died from cancer.
“One of the darkest and coldest and most disheartening memories of my life is the day my brother [Niko] calls me sobbing — with all he’s going through — looking death in the eye, to tell me I’m right about telling him not to call my father because I knew what was going to happen,” Brian Jr. said during a recent interview with Marc Lamont Hill.
“Because I knew where my dad was. I told [Niko], ‘Dad is gone.’ All my brother wanted, needed, asked for was my father to tell him he loves him,” the “Marry Your Daughter” singer added.
“My father responds to my brother, ‘I can’t arbitrarily say that I love you.’ But this is the man that wanted to help him?”

The “Back at One” singer’s family issues surfaced in October 2023, when he announced on Instagram that he had legally changed his name to become a senior to his then-newborn son, Brian Kainoa Makoa Jr., whom he shares with wife Leilani Mendoza.
However, Brian was already a senior to his eldest son, Brian Jr.
The following year, the 17-time Grammy nominee, 56, said he didn’t claim his estranged biological kids because they were the “product of sin.”
“In order to live a life that you love, you have to get rid of the evil and the negativity — even if that evil and negativity is related [to you],” he said during a Q&A session on Instagram at the time.
When a fan wrote that the musician disowning his children went “against God,” he replied: “1. God wasn’t talking about children that are the product of sin which these are 2. I didn’t raise them their mothers did 3. Know the whole story before quoting the Bible 4. Take your inaccurate negativity off my page and try being happy.”
What the fuck is this shit? What kind of a fucking horrible piece of shit does this to their child... for NO fucking reason? Fuck this has-been retard
And don't worry I'll stop making threads after this lmao
