Brian McKnight‘s son, Niko, stepped into The Shade Room to defend himself after his father seemingly referred to him as “evil.”
As previously reported by The Shade Room, Brian made unpleasant remarks about his children, to which his ex-wife Julie responded.
The 54-year-old has been going viral since last year for making verbal attacks against his children. While his ex-wife Julie gave a classy clap back, her son Niko accused Brian of sexually related allegations.
Known as @fiftyclicks on Instagram, Niko commented under the Shaderoom’s post after his father referred to him and his siblings as “evil and negativity.” Additionally, the R&B singer stated his children “were a product of sin.”
“I’m evil. That’s wild: The guy who used to make me clean his used condoms out his bathroom at 15 before Lisa got home is calling me evil Fashoooooo,” Brian’s son wrote.
In a separate comment, Niko added, “The guy who forged sigs on our names is evil fashoooooooo.”
The Roomies responded in the thousands to the son’s accusations and Brian’s words.
@caramelchanelll stated, “He made you clean what chile? Let me go to bed.”
In reference to Brian stating he didn’t raise his children but “their mother did,” a Roomie commented, “Their mothers raised them??? Yet YOUR son was cleaning YOUR bathroom that YOU did sinful things in, before your wife got home at 15??? I ain’t judging no one but the math ain’t mathin sir!”
“The fact that people watching a man attack his kids is crazy as hell. He gotta be a little off..” @upnorth_q wrote.
Brian Sr. and his ex-wife Julie were married for 13 years and share two children, Brian Jr. and Niko.
Additionally, Brian shares a daughter, Briana, with Patricia Driver and a son, Clyde, with an anonymous woman.
After remarrying in 2017, he embraced his wife Leilani’s two children, Julia and Jack. The couple had a child, Kekoa Mateeo, who passed away. However, they had a second son, Brian Kainoa Makoa McKnight Jr, in January 2023.
As previously reported, Brian legally changed his name to be identical to his infant’s.
