Briant McKnight going out of his way to publicly disown his Black children was cringeworthy, but wait, there’s more! The former heartthrob is back with a new cruel and unusual way to taunt his older offspring.
Social media dragged Brian McKnight for legally changing his name after a failed attempt to recycle “Brian McKnight Jr.” for his youngest son. The original Brian McKnight Jr. clapped back at the trifling “trolling” to erase him from his dad’s “legacy.”
Brian McKnight changed his name so that his baby boy could be a real jr…😒. That’s not sitting well with me,seeing as his oldest son is a jr…

The cold-blooded crooner took to Instagram to introduce his baby boy and new name on Friday.
“So proud to introduce our son 🤍BRIAN KAINOA MAKOA JR. 🤍 to the world with the release of my new album lovingly created for him,” he wrote.
“JR. because I am also proud to officially announce that I have legally changed my name to exactly match my legacy’s. My legal name is now BRIAN KAINOA MAKOA MCKNIGHT SR.,” he revealed with paternal pettiness.
The singer continued to rub salt in the wound with more “namesake” shadiness.
“MCKNIGHTtime LULLABIES the songs of a father to his namesake available now!” he continued, adding the heavy-handed hashtags #babybrian #mylegacy #junior #briankainoamakoaSR and #familyfirst.
Yikes!
This isn’t the first time social media sleuths put the feuding father on blast. As BOSSIP previously reported, the internet recently dragged Brian McKnight for using posts about his new family against his old one.
That man is a menace. Man was already 4 kids in and said this… https://t.co/sVVzGIED5I pic.twitter.com/Sq5bxq795f

In addition to erasing Brian Jr. to claim baby boy Brian as his namesake, he used his stepkids for similar shade. The “Ready To Learn” singer praised his stepdaughter for making him a “girl dad.” He acted like he didn’t have a biological daughter named Briana McKnight. Both young women attended the same university at the same time, but he only gave one acknowledgment and a new car.
Is it weird for Brian McKnight to claim he cut off his children because they’re grown yet he bought the stepdaughter who is older than his biological daughter a BMW for her birthday? Then posted that his stepdaughter was the best daughter ever? pic.twitter.com/suCiiqnnYn

Brian Jr. and Briana speaking out about alleged abandonment seemed to be a turning point in their estranged relationships. Now, Brian Jr. is clapping back again about his flip-flopping father changing his name.
