Brian McKnight's estranged son Niko dead at 32
Brian McKnight's estranged son Niko McKnight has died, just two years after he was diagnosed with cancer. He was 32. The news was shared by Niko's uncle, Claude McKnight, in a video posted to TikTok. "I'm not going off the script or anything like that. I'm just gonna be raw with how I'm feeling," he said. "Niko was one of those amazing kids who was quirky and curious and ridiculously talented. "Amazing singer, an amazing guitar player, had a great eye as a photographer. He was one of those kids that, at least in my estimation, was somebody you always wanted to be around. And so it really sucks that he's no longer with us." Claude continued, "I wanted to post this about Niko, about his legacy, about how amazing he is - and not about what some of you may have heard about, you know, the family drama that has existed for quite some time in our family." Brian shared Niko with his ex-wife, Julie McKnight. They also had sons Brian Jr and Clyde, and daughter Briana The Back at One singer has yet to break his silence on Niko's death, although the pair had reportedly been estranged for a number of years. Three months after Niko revealed his cancer diagnosis in January 2024, Brian referred to his four older children as a "product of sin" in a video shared to Instagram.
