Brian McKnight Slams Estranged Brother Over Revealing Son Niko’s Death | E! News
big big thanks to Claude Mcnite’s tasteless and self agrandizing announcement on Tik Tok that frankly was not his to make brian Mcnite calling out his brother Claude Mcnite in the wake of son Nico’s death at 32 years old the singer shared his message to Instagram June 3rd in response to his brother announcing on Tik Tok that Nico had died after a 2-year cancer battle nico was one of those amazing kids who was quirky and curious and ridiculously talented in my opinion he inserted himself and used Nico’s death as an opportunity instead of letting him pass with respect and dignity the R&B artist claimed his estranged son along with Nico’s mom and Brian’s ex-wife Julie Mcnite refused help amid his health struggles the last time he and I spoke we offered him all the help we could provide we had the number one oncologist on deck for him and a team of specialists on standby with private care in our home he and his mother declined the door of communication was open and remained open until his death to the self-proclaimed mama bear may God have mercy on your soul for not allowing him to accept that help and not allowing him to use that line of communication in the aftermath Brian said he held a private memorial in Hawaii for Nico whose death has become the center of his family feud there is great comfort in knowing God knows the truth and the totality of the whole story i’m truly thankful for the immense peace God has given me and I’ve left everything in his hands [Music]

Something must have happened, he really does not like his first family
Well, BRIAN, you have treated your SON horribly so shame on you!!!
Your brother seemed more genuine and honest and forthcoming than that rehearsed audio sir
Brians lost his mind. Mans treatin his family like the workplace. Im startin to see a lot of that lately.
I use to be huge fan of his back in the day! And I just can not believe how he’s done his children and now his brother! Brian…… Shame on you!!!!!
Shame on you Brian senior. I will never listen to your songs ever again 😡
I JUST CANNOT stand Brian McKnight anymore!!! 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
Didn't he legally change his name from Brian McKnight to something else so that the child he has from his latest relationship could be a jr? And in so doing that it made his other son that was Brian McKnight jr could no longer be technically a jr? It's all really sad and so incredibly unnecessary behavior.
Cancel Brian McKnight. He's despicable.
Every child exhibits a degree of ungratefulness and entitlement. However, even the most well-behaved child can have their bratty moments, showing signs of being spoiled. Even as your kids grow into adults, they often come back to you for assistance and expect your help. Brian McKnight made a choice about which children he wanted to parent and whose behavior he would tolerate. This decision was primarily influenced by the new woman in his life, as he was involved with her children. Many men tend to focus on the kids of the woman they are intimate with regularly. Their loyalty often stems from physical attraction rather than moral values.
You know what, i just said im no longer supporting his music, used to be a fan, not no more. He's so disgraceful, how dare he put so much hate against his brother and kids? His brother had the right to say something positively for his nephew's passing. Im so done with Brian, thats why people no longer going to his concerts, low ticket sales cause he disowned his adult children. Boycotting! I cant!
I'm starting to feel like Brian McKnight is simply possessed by the Devil!
Brian McKnight how dare you not support your son Niko – a) don’t use God in your sorry behavior b) may you have no peace. Additionally I have a long memory with your WIFE BEATING behavior‼️
Nico didn’t want help from the man who disowned him and said he was born in sin to the whole world.
Brian mcknight is a dang goofy fool and devil. He's lying and should be canceled on obviously he's friends with someone at E..fohwtbs
Wow!!!! Brian even dissed his older brother for expressing his feelings for his own nephew in REAL TIME that was NOT rehearsed or edited like Brian's response!!!!
Brian mcknight is a low down lying devil. Brian McKnight thinks his money and wealth will be able to save him give him peace.WHEN KARMA HITS HIS WEALTH WILL BE USELESS
Obviously, Brian McKnight is friends with the E network because this video is cherry picking things to paint Brian mcknight as the good father that tried to offer help but was rejected. Fohwtbs Just 2wks ago he posted that he only had 3 sons which didn't include Bj or Niko, Brian McKnight is a lying devil
Evil.
Not a man and not a Dad, just a sperm donor ☹️
BRIAN IS FINISHED!! 💯🚮
Probably offered all that like they were bums begging i wouldn't take either if that's the case
First & foremost Brian McKnight “estranged” brother has a name his name is Claude McKnight founder of the Grammy winning acapella group Take 6
No matter how much you have a beef with your child…..nothing should keep you from trying to mend troubled waters. There are so many children that don't try to mend a bad relationship. This child was essentially begging for you. 😢😢😢😢
What there Brian McKnight was crusing out his son, and staying away from him even though he was battling cancer?
What’s wild is his current wife thinks that her and her children are exempt!
If he offered all this and cared so much why did he refuse to see him in hospice. Go read nikos tweets from a year ago it is truly sad
A complete narcissist! RIP Niko
I used to work at the Wyndham hotel downtown Cleveland. Brian McKnight stayed there years ago. Everyone in the hotel was glad when he checked out! Myself included. He left one of our rooms so dirty it had to be closed for a day! Also, he's a non tipping cheap a**! Hole
Brian McKnight is really a POS 4 not supporting his sick child b4 he passed
Uh…Why Is There A Liquor Bottle In The Background, Surrounding A Lei Sitting On Some Sand. So, Is This Suppose To Represent His Son Niko's Lifestyle? Looks More Like Another Slap In His Face. Is He Trying To Reference.. His Son Loved Liquor, Pot And The Laid-Back Lifestyle Of BeachGoers, Etc.? IJS.
MAKE THIS MAKE SENSE???
🤔🥺
THIS IS PURE EVIL 😈
THIS BROTHER NEEDS REPENTANCE ASAP…BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE -EH.
✝️🛐💜
He sounds horrible
Hey Brian,
One, to Niko you weren’t true
Two, Claude loved him more than you
The man is LITERALLY saying he offered help. Wth is wrong with you people?! Smh. Wow
Loss for words….
Brian Mcknight shame on you. Because you did not forgive him God will NOT FORGIVE YOU!!!!!!!!!
Now I KNOW that he is not mad about Niko's Uncle sharing a condolence. What was his issue with that?!? Absolutely NASTY
Tasteless is creating a profile called “the REAL Brian McKnight Junior”. 😢. Brother PLEASE don’t let the enemy fool you. Please don’t let pride be your downfall 🙏
That’s their family business
Every one has their on problems! Prayers for everyone!
Mean people are never take accountability of their actions …they just throw the name of God around to justify their selfish actions.
