Brian McKnight Fans Livid After Finding Out He Wasn't There For The Birth Of His Oldest Sons

For many, this was a truly shocking revelation, including Niko, who took to social media and explained that he never knew his dad wasn't there when he was born.

In the comments section over at The Neighborhood Talk, fans did not take kindly to what they were hearing. They felt that McKnight has gone too far against his family, and that his actions are not acceptable. "The way some mothers protect their children from the truth to protect their hearts is truly remarkable," one person wrote. "You would think I knew him personally the way I hate him," said another. Needless to say, these last few months have been terrible PR for McKnight who now has public opinion against him.
