BRIAN JR. DECRIES HIS DAD'S PARENTING

Award-winning ballad singer, Brian McKnight might have made good music and passed on the genes to his son, but there seems to be some dissatisfaction concerning his parenting style.

McKnight Jr. broke the internet in a now-removed post after opening up on his dad's shortcomings on fatherhood. In a lengthy write-up, he laid bare his heartfelt thoughts on his father's alleged neglect.

His sister, Briana, followed suit with a post of her own on the same platform as she chronicled a story similar to her brother's while sharing a throwback photo of her and their celebrity dad.

BRIAN MCKNIGHT'S RESPONSE

In his own now-deleted Instagram upload, McKnight shared a video labeled "Today's Nonsense" as he clamped down on his children's allegations.

In the seemingly removed video, McKnight admitted having a troubled relationship with his children but he refuted all the claims of neglect while stating that he made sure to provide all their needs.

McKnight added that his only fault was letting them have a sense of entitlement. The star singer made it known that he gave his kids everything they needed.

The 51-year-old shared that their relationship became strained because he cut his adult sons off at 25 and 22 so they could become independent.
