“I didn’t abandoned my kids, we’re estranged… It’s time for grown men to be grown men,” said Brian McKnight.
There’s a family feud that’s brewing on social media and it doesn’t look pretty. Brian McKnight goes to Instagram to responds to backlash he’s receiving from his children.
Yesterday, two of Brian’s children posted on Instagram accusing the “One Last Cry” singer of abandoning them, and Brian insists that this is not true.
Post from Brian McKnight, Jr.:
His daughter Briana McKnight also decided to express how she felt during the absence of her father.
Brian believes these series of post from his biological children begin when he shared a photo of his stepson Jack, and saying how proud he was of him for working at McDonald’s and buying a car.
In his kids defense, Brian does seem to post more about his stepchildren than them.
He even talked about how good of a mother his wife is to Julia and Jack on Mother’s Day, which is rightfully so since she is he’s wife.
But in Brian’s defense, this is the family he lives with now and history shows that he has at times tried to help his children with their careers.
His children also suggested that since Brian married Leilani Malia Medonza, his absence has been even more noticeable but Brian said his wife have tried to help with his children but they only spit in her face.
Here is Brian setting the record straight:
Oh boy, what a mess but this seems to be a family issue that could be repaired.
What do yall think? Is Brian wrong for not being as present in his biological children’s lives or do you agree with him to cut them off now that they’re older.

He’s they’re grown men . You can’t expect to be treated and babied like you’re 12 again . Grow up . Sometimes parents have to leave you alone.
They’re grown men and women who have never been loved by their dad and there lies the problem money is not love hes been absent so much of their lives and all he can say is well i never missed a child support payment but hes missed birthdays and a whole other plethora of important events in these kids lives and on top of that is doing that for someone elses kids doesnt that seem a bit messed up to you especially if you witness interviews with how he talks about his biological kids as if they are last thursdays left overs
*Heyy * I meant to say 🥴
He keeps bringing up that he’s never missed the child support but have you been there can you honestly say that you’ve done and spend the time that you are spending with these other stepkids that it’s not their fault by any means but when you do the things that you never did for your biological children for your new wives children do you not feel some type of way inside let’s be honest now I know you do!! the part that really got to me is that you through information about your daughter that no one needed to know Because you don’t know if it’s true and you brought filth to her name that’s The way you expressed yourself about her mother you have to respect your daughter first because you came from a woman and that shows how much you respect women shows us how you really treat your kids you never talk about your daughter that way and a real father never stops trying but there’s something called karma you remember that and at the end those kids that you treat like your own and that you give them everything there not gonna be there for you the ones that are going to step up and be by your side are the ones that you abandon it’s never too late to say sorry I fucked up
I am human I am sorry tell me how you’re feeling how can we make this better it takes real balls and like you said it’s time to step up and be a real man then step up and admit to your faults as an absent father because you were working totally understandable because you got remarried and you were enjoying the moment and along the way you did abandon them emotionally physically all you have to do is admit make things right with your blood your pride your children you’re a piece of you that you leave here on this earth remember we will always be parents until the day that we die .all they want is your love all they want is for you to put them first emotionally to be proud of them that they are your first and to never make them feel that they are second third or fourth in your life make things right with your children like your song says 🎼do I ever cross your mind anytime that’s what Children are asking?
May your family especially you and your children be filled with light and peace good energy lots of healing lots patients Love 🙏💕
Yes, he should always be there for his biological children. Even if they’re now grown. He’s really missing out on them. That’s sad
You s/h never told that darkness about your daughter.
Tough love is Tough love. Sometimes it is hard to receive when one has been on the receiving end of having everything one needs and more so one’s wants without having to truly put forth an effort. All aspects of each person’s viewpoint are rightfully valuable to them. On the outside looking from a distance, the only thing I can say is life is too short to be estranged. Please reach out to each other to have the conversation, so healing can begin. To the young men, please take time to reflect and be accountable. To Brian, sharing that info about your daughter was disheartening. Please reach out to her because if such is taking place – she needs you more so now. Regardless of the purpose for her conception on her mother’s part, she is your daughter and all daughters long to have a relationship with their father (dad). There is a lot, one can say; however, this one chooses not to pass judgement or opinions. There is enough going wrong in the world, please do not let bitterness, resentment, and pure ugliness impede your relationship.
First…. Let us together pray for restored relationships, with changed hearts forgiveness and hope for a better understanding of what needs to happen. Brian is one of my most favorite and loved artist. I stand not in judgment of him, nor his kids. What we don’t want to see is this hurt, resentment and unforgiveness keeping this family apart as well as continuously affecting the generations of his family. I declare the loving peace of God in the midst of this hurting family. Though we want to see things change especially in our black families, starting with our men, tearing them down to raise them up it’s not how we do this. And yes acknowledgment of what needs to happen or change has to happen. My sincere prayer is for wholeness on both parts (entire family). No should we stop being the best examples and versions of ourselves in the eyes of our
wife, children, and yes starting with yourself. Do not beat yourself up for your mistakes but rather change recognizing this gift is priceless. Brian Continue to reach out to your children not allowing their hurt of a broken relationship set your part but rather utilize it as a way to bring you closer. Attempt to truly communicate, listening first, then responding With the realization that there are some concerns and issues that have never been addressed in their hearts. Speak from your heart becoming so transparent that your children are able to see the sincerity of your heart whether they agree with it or not. This is truly a start of restoration but even this will take time for mending. I will always pray for you and your family. Be healed, blessed and safe.
We will never know who’s telling the truth but blood family will also be there regardless of the situation. We as parents are not perfect nor is our children. My prayers is that y’all come to a resolution to love each other as God loves us🙏🙏🙏
This man is an entertainer. He travels a lot for work. He provided for his kids the best he knew how and like he said, he raised some entitled kids that had way more than he did growing up because he wanted it that way. He did what he thought was right raising his his. There was no celebrity parenting handbook.
When it was time for his kids to go out on there own he still gave them 2 years to get it together, to become functioning adults, to make a life for themselves and they took that for granted and called his bluff and learned the hard way and they couldn’t take it.
They couldn’t take that this man moved on with his life and they are bitter like a bitch. Grow up and learn to appreciate what your father has done for you instead of trying to ruin his reputation.
Thank you Brian Sr for stetting all the records strait because I, who has nothing to do with this, felt a way just reading your children comments. Thank you again for restoring those unfounded feels back for me as a fan.
Regarding your daughter’s situation. I understand your side with that too as I am a living witness to how bitter baby mommas can be while the child is the one that is hurt in the end. IJS
