Adding, “She worships us and in return we honor her because she knows how proud she is of her,” before stating that one must “get rid of evil and negativity, even if that evil and negativity is associated with them “.

“Your children are a reflection of the work, prayers, spirituality and moral compass that parents instill in their children,” the person adds, before reminding the “Back at One” singer: “You have denied the children you have created and you are also against God but the day of judgment is between you and your creator.”

McKnight hopefully responded quickly, detailing the contents, writing: “1. God did not take into account the children who are the fruit of sin, which they are 2. I didn’t raise them, their mothers did 3. Know the whole story before you quote the Bible 4. Get your false negative attitude away from me and try to be happy.”

Fans immediately took to social media to tug him down with one person saying“It’s a VERY nasty job. My God, what about this blasphemous evil father, hell?”

They continued in another post, writing: “I did not abandon my children. They were a product of sin, so Jesus said they did not count as children.” This is simply an outrageous position. There’s no way this man actually believed This“

McKnight’s ex, Patricia Driver, is the mother of his firstborn daughter, Briana, who sued him in 2021 defamation and invasion of privacy after she alleged that she had an inappropriate relationship with a family member. In her amended complaint, Briana accused her father of failing to pay a $1 million insurance policy. The case was settled in 2023.

Briana and her two older brothers, Brian Jr. and Niko, described incidents of abandonment by their father in childhood and adulthood. However, the “One Last Cry” singer denies these claims.

“I send my sympathies to Brian Jr., Niko and Briana. It’s bad enough to have a dad who can’t cope, but year after year he blatantly announces that he disowns them while shining a light on them on social media…truly the most insecure and toxic and pathetic man around”- wrote one sympathetic fan on X.

Other added“He is ruining his legacy.”

In 2023, McKnight has two families and two juniors. The first is Brian Kelly McKnight Jr., the offspring of his relationship together with his college sweetheart, Julie McKnight.

After divorcing Julie in 2003, McKnight married his current spouse, Dr. Leilani Malia Mendoza, in 2017. As a token of his recent love and devotion to her, he adopted her family’s surname, legally changing it to Brian Kainoa Makoa McKnight to match his given name youngest son.

“We are proud to present our son BRIAN KAINOA MAKOA JR. world with the release of my new album, created with love for it. JR. because I can also proudly announce that I have legally changed my name and surname to exactly match my surname,” he said. he wrote after his birth in October 2023.

He closed: “My legal name is now BRIAN KAINOA MAKOA MCKNIGHT SR.”

Just as many individuals didn’t like his comments about his children being born out of sin, people also don’t love the name change very much and imagine that race plays a major role in why he holds on so tightly to his recent family.

“You all thought I was LITTLE, Brian McKnight wins the CROWN,” the person wrote.

The person further added, “He went and married a non-black wife who already had non-black children before meeting him and considered them her own until she gave birth to their son.”
