" It always score me sad to see parents turn their back on their child because if you ’re so unhappy with the person they became , how amount you ’re quash that they find out it all from you . "
’90s R&B singer Brian McKnight is trending on Twitter for all the wrong reasons.
According toBillboard, the 53-year-old singer who last had a major hit in 1999, is once again being called out for not acknowledging his biological children and it’s really, really messy.
The latest criticism came after this 2020 Instagrampostresurfaced where Brian thanked his stepdaughter for making him a “girl dad” and for being the “perfect daughter [he] always wanted.”
But, here’s the tea. Brian McKnight also has another daughter.
In fact, McKnight has four biological children from previous relationships: Brian Jr., Briana, Niko, and Clyde.
Brian is currently married to Lilani Mendoza, who has four children, three of whom are from a previous relationship, and her youngest, Brian (yes, they named another one of his sons Brian, too), a baby she shares with McKnight. And the internet is rightfully uncomfortable about Brian’s effort to diss his biological children on social media.
In anotherpostcelebrating his stepson’s birthday, he says he “could not have asked for a better legacy, father to son.”
In a differentpost, Brian says, “For the very first time in my life, I got to experience what it’s like to want to and plan to have a child made from love,” and how he’s never been “prouder in [his] life being the father” to his three stepchildren.
And after the birth of his youngest son, Brian, hereferredto him as his “true heir.”
Sharing the love of his stepchildren is great, but it appears like he’s making an effort to diss his biological children with every post and it’s sad. Back in 2019, Brian shared avideoto justify his estranged relationship with his biological children, and I’m not sure it makes anything better.
Unfortunately, his family’s issues are common, but I think it’s how his social media is used, which is getting under everyone’s skin:
He ’s trying waaaay too knockout to put out this narrative . He does n’t seem like a man who ’s in love and glad with his current situation . He sound like a man who ’s really ANGRY about his preceding situation . There is a difference of opinion .
lol . Most ppl recognise men like this irl but you believe them when they distinguish you their family was horrible to justify abandoning them . 🙃
He ca n’t talk without making certain everyone knows he detest his preceding sept .
He disown the black tyke he claim they are slothful and was using him . He ’s one of those dada
hoi polloi who see this as no issuance are just exposing what form of parents they are / grew up with and its absolutely terrific . Even if this was his bio kid , its still not normal to say when he was already a " girl dad " before this one
I get he ’s having issuing with his tiddler … it encounter but to try & wipe out them like they do n’t exist that ’s ugly … As a parent , you should always endeavor to build communication , but what he ’s doing is proving his children right … He never get laid them & his step kids are more important
It always make me sad to see parents turn their back on their baby because if you ’re so unhappy with the person they became how come you ’re deflect that they instruct it all from you .
He has an estranged relationship with his elder tyke . It has been documented publicly . I believe like two year ago the kids came out about how he trim down them off judgement you they get and expected Brian to support them ( however that is be it money or serve they euphony careers .. ) sad
Oh swear me there ’s a quite a little of dads out there in this populace that are just like this … they just do n’t say anything about it ..
