Brian McKnight Jr. breaks his silence since the passing of his brother, Niko.
He went on social media to share a heartfelt message to his brother. “My favorite everything,” he wrote. “I’ll live the rest of my life in a constant state of disbelief. My beautiful baby brother, I will love you until this pain ceases to exist. There is no me without you, so living just feels out of whack. The balance is gone, and will never be the same.”
His post continued, “The entire world feels bleak, and dim without you. I was the luckiest big brother in the universe. It almost seemed unfair at times. Though I’ll never understand this, I’m so glad you are no longer in pain, and arenow in the aether, playing upon the string theory we both believe in. Wait for me there. This is now officially a Niko stan page. Brothers in arms Forever. Long live Johnny Boy.”
We reported that Niko McKnight passed away after a battle with cancer. His uncle, Claude McKnight, made the shocking and heartbreaking announcement in a TikTok video. In the video, he revealed that he had just found out about Niko’s passing after battling cancer for two years. He also talked about how amazing of a kid he was.
As the video continued, he briefly touched on the issues that Niko had with his estranged father, singer Brian McKnight but made sure to keep the focus on Niko McKnight.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the McKnight Family during this time.
