Cold blooded… this is heartbreaking. The only positive is that this young man is strong enough to not allow this to become a cycle. I applaud this strong young man for standing on his own and claiming HIS name!! #TeamDL #breakthecycle theshaderoom #PressPlay: #BrianMcKnightJr has a message for the folks that suggested he change his name. As previously reported, back in January, #BrianMcKnight welcomed a baby boy with his wife and he named his new son Brian as well. Last month while speaking about being estranged from his eldest children, Brian shared that he has no apologies for naming his infant son Brian because he is his true legacy.
