Brian McKnight Not Happy About The Announcement Of His Estranged Son Niko’s Passing “Tasteless And Self-Aggrandizing”[VIDEO]

Sad news was shared a few days back about the passing of, singer Brian McKnight’s estranged son Niko by Brian McKnight’s brother Claude via TikTok.

“This morning, I found out my nephew, Niko McKnight, has passed away. He’d been bravely battling cancer for the last two years or so, and I have a lot of feelings right now. It really sucks that he’s no longer with us,”   “I don’t know exactly what was going on there. I know what I’ve seen, I know what I’ve heard from all parties involved… And I try not to judge. I just try to be as loving to each person as I can be, because apparently there was so much hurt going on and a lot of things didn’t get resolved.”

Unfortunately Brian McKnight and his older children’s strained relationship has been widely publicized in the past.  No one has heard from the Grammy nominated singer/song writer/musician since the heart breaking news was shared until now.  Brian McKnight has taken to social media to express his unhappiness about the announcement of his estranged sons Niko’s passing by his brother.

“tasteless and self-aggrandizing,”…“Frankly, that was not his to make, in my opinion. He inserted himself and used Niko’s death as an opportunity, instead of letting him pass with respect and dignity.”…“It has instead turned into a circus, a mockery of a life now lost, making this tragedy into a reality show–type drama.”

Brian McKnight went on to share that while everything was unfolding, he and his family flew to Maui for a private memorial to honor Niko and remember “all the good times.” He said the last time he spoke with Niko, they offered him “all the help we could provide,” including access to “the number one oncologist” and a team of specialists ready to provide private care at home. “He and his mother declined. The door of communication was open and remained open until his death,” .

Let’s keep all parties of the family of Niko McKnight uplifted in our prayers.
