Last week, R&B singer Brian McKnight acknowledged the passing of his son, Niko in a statement on social media. In the recorded audio message, Brian also took jabs at his brother Claude McKnight for announcing the news – and accused his ex-wife Julie McKnight of blocking him from providing the best medical care for Niko.
As a response, Julie shared a link to an interview conducted in January with radio personality Karen Clark. Julie said she asked Brian to keep the negative energy away – not his presence.
“I did get a very, very, very negative text. He made a comment saying he hasn’t contacted our son because I left a ‘very aggressive’ voicemail,” Julie said. “I will say in a way that it is true. Because once the text was received, I made it very clear that This type of negativity is not going to going to be allowed in this space.”’
