Brian McKnight Responds To Backlash, Shares Photos Of His Biological Children

Brian McKnight recently caught a lot of heat online for something seemingly innocuous: celebrating his daughter-in-law’s birthday. However, what got people mad is how, for years now, reports have come out that McKnight forgot about his four biological children. After social media riled against him for what many found to be an insensitive post, the R&B/soul singer finally addressed his viral backlash. For one, he posted various pictures of him and his kids over the years, which he believes disproves these criticisms. Also, he said that there’s always another side to the story, albeit one that he hasn’t shared often.

“Not sure how these posts that have been sitting here this whole time were left out of the false narrative that is trending,” Brian McKnight wrote on Instagram. “Abandonement? There’s always more to every story. Stay tuned.” Furthermore, he also included the captions for these family pictures with his kids. For example, one read “Throw back to our wedding day with my sons happiest day of my life.” Another, this time from McKnight’s wife, contained the following message: “My husband my sons and daughter on the most beautiful day of our lives.”

Brian McKnight’s Response

Still, this might not convince people that the situation is any better, especially after the Instagram birthday post in question. “Today we celebrate you Jules on your birthday,” Brian McKnight wrote to his step-daughter. “Your mom and I couldn’t be prouder of you and I couldn’t ask for a better daughter than you!!! Happy birthday to the best daughter ever! Love u a zillion.” When it comes to the 53-year-old’s own biological daughter, he has a less than positive relationship with her at the moment.

Meanwhile, the artist’s son Brian McKnight Jr. had previously blasted his father back in 2021. “When it comes to my father, the proof is in the pudding,” he began. “If there are still people out there wasting their breath putting us down for speaking our truth, challenge them to question how they think they know our father better than us? Lol you know his body of work; we came from his actual nuts.” Regardless of these unfortunate family matters, stay logged into HNHH for the latest on Brian McKnight.

Ne-Yo Serves Ex-Girlfriend Papers Demanding Paternity Test

It looks like Ne-Yo is adding yet another messy chapter to his storied love life. The singer and songwriter just got divorced. Now, he is having issues with his baby mama. He recently had his ex-girlfriend Sade Bagnerise served with papers asking for a paternity test. He is also asking for court-mandated child support. The pair have two children, both of which allegedly belong to Ne-Yo. The singer is not so sure, however.

According to court documents obtained by Radar Online, Ne-Yo is certain that he is the father of his older child, Braiden Bagnerise. However, he has doubts about the paternity of his younger child, Brixton Bagnerise. He requested a DNA test to establish paternity and is also seeking joint custody and a flexible parenting schedule for the children. Ne-Yo wants Braiden to take his last name, but it is unclear if he plans to change Brixton’s last name as well after the results of the paternity test are available.

Ne-Yo’s romantic relationships have been complicated. In February, he finalized his divorce from Crystal Renay, which required him to pay almost $2 million. Renay filed for divorce in August 2022, just four months after they renewed their vows. She accused Ne-Yo of cheating on her multiple times and fathering a child with another woman during their marriage. In the divorce, Renay gets one of their four homes in Georgia and moving expenses up to $20,000. Ne-Yo has agreed to pay $150,000 for a new car for Renay, while keeping their 2022 Bentley Bentayga for himself.

The couple has three children together, so Ne-Yo will also pay $12,000 monthly for child support. Additionally, he will pay the kids’ school expenses and $5,000 monthly for alimony for the next three years. Both Ne-Yo and Renay have joint custody of the children and have agreed not to introduce romantic partners around the kids. If they do, they will need permission from the other party unless they’re engaged or married. What do you think of Ne-Yo’s love life? Let us know in the comments!

Nick Cannon’s Haircut Makes Him Want To “Impregnate The World”

Nick Cannon has gained a reputation for having numerous children and baby mamas. It has gotten to the point where he struggles to remember all of his kids’ names. Nevertheless, he remains committed to providing his children with a good life and shows them a lot of affection. Recently, Cannon celebrated the 12th birthday of his twins, Monroe and Moroccan, whom he shares with Mariah Carey. Carey was also in attendance for the celebration. To make the occasion extra special, Cannon went above and beyond by closing down Six Flags for a private party with his children’s friends.

He shared the festivities with his followers on Instagram, where he posted a video of the party. The clip shows the children, surrounded by their loved ones, smiling and enjoying themselves. In the background, 50 Cent’s “In Da Club” can be heard playing. “Roc and Roe’s 12th, [we] shutting down, Magic Mountain. Six Flags, doing what big 12-year-olds do. The big 12, let’s go!” he exclaims in the video. His twins’ birthday isn’t the only thing Nick is happy about.

Nick Leans Into His Baby-Making Persona

Nick Cannon’s frequent and notable baby-making endeavors have been the talk of the town for a while now. He made headlines last month after claiming that his sperm was so potent that birth control couldn’t stop it. In an interview on the Howie Mandel Does Stuff podcast, Cannon stated that he has practiced birth control in the past but still ended up fathering children. To him, this suggests that he has “super sperm” or something of the sort. Despite this, Cannon has attempted to be responsible and learn from his experiences.

During the same podcast interview, Cannon expressed contentment with his current number of children but remained uncertain about the possibility of having more kids in the near future. However, in a new tweet posted by Cannon yesterday, he said he feels like he can “impregnate the world.” Of course, he was just referring to how his new haircut made him feel. However, coming from him, it might be a threat. What do you think of Cannon’s tweet? Is he leaning into the jokes? Let us know in the comments!

NBA YoungBoy Reportedly Welcomes His 11th Child

NBA YoungBoy has had an impressive ascent to superstar status in the rap game. Despite not being a mainstream artist, he remains one of the most influential rappers in youth culture. Moreover, if you were to look at his YouTube numbers, you would realize they are astronomical. He is constantly outperforming some of the biggest artists in the entire world. Overall, this includes people in the pop music space with a huge machine behind them. It is simply a testament to the artist’s talent and consistency.

At the age of 23, NBA YoungBoy and his legacy are pretty well cemented. If he were to stop making music right now, he would likely go down as a legend. It just goes to show that having a strong start to your career can make all the difference. Aside from music, however, YoungBoy has been building a large family. Prior to recently, he had 10 children with eight different baby mothers. According to outlets like No Jumper, YoungBoy has since had his 11th child, this time with a ninth mother.

The baby mother in question is Drew Valentina, who is an Instagram model. Reports about this 11th child circulated months ago, at the end of 2022. The speculation concerning the child was brought up when Valentina took to her IG with the caption, “thank u for choosing me to be your mommy.” As you will see, the vast majority of the comments have to do with NBA YoungBoy. Moreover, in Valentina’s last few posts, she no longer has a baby bump, which suggests that she has, indeed, had the child.

Various facts surrounding the baby are still unknown, such as the name and gender. However, YoungBoy tends to be a private person, so it makes sense that he has yet to reveal these details. Hopefully, the baby is healthy and thriving as YoungBoy continues to add to his family. Be sure to stay tuned to HNHH for all of the latest news and updates from around the music world.

Nick Cannon Doesn’t Want All Of His Kids Under One Roof

In a recent interview with People, Nick Cannon revealed that he wouldn’t want to house his 12 kids under the same roof. Of course, that sounds like a logistical nightmare to begin with, but maybe some fans take that to mean he doesn’t care enough to bother. However, in his breakdown of his take, he explained that it would be more self-serving for him than anything else. Given that he recently raised some eyebrows for forgetting his daughter Onyx’s name, maybe this is also a reflection of him not wanting to spread his time too thin. Still, it’s quite an interesting reflection from someone who seemingly would rather put in extra work on his end to connect with his children.

“Only person that would benefit from having everyone in the Sam Rosa would probabaly be me,” Nick Cannon expressed to the publication. “I actually love stepping into their world– going to their sports games or giving them their personal time for the holidays. So I have no problem with bouncing around. It works to be able to take the time trying to go to them and show the value of being with them and not forcing anyone to come to me.”

On that note of forgetting Onyx’s name, her mother LaNisha Cole offered some love for her on Instagram. “It’s not normal to have your life play out in front of an audience, but this is the age we live in,” she wrote. “That being said… no person’s path is linear. There’s going to be blind curves, peaks, valleys, and sometimes we make wrong turns or run into dead ends. Simply correct course and get back on your forward moving path.

“I pray every day for strength, guidance, and peace,” Cole continued. “Regardless of where I’m at on my path I know that God’s got me. And I’ve got Onyx. To all the Moms out there… take care of your heart with the same love and patience you have for your babies. It’s not always easy but we were built for this.” Regardless of your take on this, check back in with HNHH for the latest news and updates on Nick Cannon.
