After being called out for being especially cruel, considering his 21-year-old son Niko is battling cancer, Brian claims Niko's mother, his ex wife Julie McKnight, prevented him from helping Niko...
From Page Six
Brian McKnight claims he offered to help estranged son Niko with his cancer battle – but stopped once his ex-wife, Julie McKnight, intervened.
During the “Back At One” singer’s weekly Q&A on Instagram, he replied to a fan who suggested that he wrote a song about his son, who is “dying in the hospital with Stage 4 cancer.”
“Six months ago, we found out about this [Niko’s cancer diagnosis],” he said. “We called him. We talked to him, we talked to his wife. She told us that she was all alone and handling everything all by herself and it became quickly evident to us that since they didn’t have insurance and they didn’t have access to the proper doctors, naturally, we jumped into action.”
Brian, 54, said that he and his wife, Leilani Mendoza, asked for Niko’s medical reports and “hand-delivered them to the best specialist in the country” who outlined a plan of action to give his son the “best fighting chance.”
“We miraculously found a treatment facility near our home that put him at the top of the list and then we put down a deposit to secure that place,” the musician claimed.
While the 17-time Grammy nominee said he and Mendoza were arranging for Niko and his wife to fly to their home, Brian claimed his ex-wife, Julie, 52, made a “hostile” phone call to him, demanding him to stop helping their son.
“I can only imagine that if that help came from me, that it would go against the strong narrative that’s being pushed out there about me,” Brian continued, referring to claims that he’s a deadbeat father. “So what are we doing? We’re adhering to her wishes because that’s what she wanted and we’re staying out of it.”
Brian concluded his response by saying he and his wife are “praying” for Niko.
Following Brian’s Q&A, Julie provided the following statement to Page Six: “This is, once again, a response to bait myself & my family into his false narrative. He is a liar.”

If his son is a grown married man, why would his mom’s demands have anything to do with this?
Makes no sense. Why does she get to dictate? Did his son say ok, listen to my mom? Did the daughter in law say ok, listen to his mom? I say cap!
I think he is just saying that to look good. GTFOH Brian
this dude is not black why would a mom want her som left untreated a dnwhat ttpe dad would go along wktg death gusatfohhn
That is a nonsensical lie from the pits of Hades. I am convinced that this bozo is possessed. There is no other reason for him to get on BeyoncĂ©’s internet and try to spin this big of a fairytale. Please get some help Brian.
THIS MAKES ZER0 SENSE AND HE IS TRASH.
This pathetic pos, no wonder he's again so badly, his real inner self is finally showing. I will never listen to another song of his and am happy I never bought any of his record.
He's a POS father and everyone knows it. Even if that lie he told was true, he'd rather risk his son dying out of spite for his ex-wife. That is some kind of evil. But that still won't stop me from listening to Back at One, Anytime or I'll Take Her.
Lol @ 6:49 PM. I'll Take Her Is A Hidden Treasure. I'm gonna keep listening too. If you know, you know. But yea he's still a lying POS with that story. No father would allow his dying son to suffer because an ex-wife said so.
OAT, please GTFOH with that Beyodel’s internet bullshat.
He is such a liar!
No close-ups, please. His face looks like a mushroom.
I bought all of his cds and will listen to NONE ever. Yuck
^^^If you bought all of his CDs, Brian already spent that money. You can only hurt his pockets by not streaming his music or not going to his shows. Otherwise, enjoy.
Asinine.
Everything he says is a lie. Brian sr. Is a monster abuser of his kids and he's a bad man. Narcissistic personality disorder is real
