Tyrese is being dragged by Brian McKnight‘s son after he put in his two cents on the R&B vocalist’s family issues.
Tyrese voiced his support for McKnight after the latter essentially abandoned his children from his first marriage and called them the “product of sin.” On Tuesday (May 7), Niko McKnight shared some words about the California native’s involvement in the drama.

“Tyrese used to sleep under our pool table when I was a kid,” he wrote on his Instagram Story. “I know the 90s RnB brotherhood blood is thicker than anything but you should sit this one out champ. You have relationships to fix with your own children and your own past decisions you’ve made on behalf of pussy and power.
“The allegiance to those two things is what keeps you guys from seeing that the only thing that matters in the end is family. Real men can see past the bullshit. Let me stop though. This 46-hr chemo infusion has me ready to fade Jody. That’s not right. Peace and prosperity.”

The message came after Tyrese disagreed with a post from Rickey Smiley, who offered his support for Brian’s kids.
“We here at the Rickey Smiley Morning Show,” the comedian said in a social-media video. “If anybody gets this message out to Brian McKnight’s two sons and daughter: you are always welcome to the state of Alabama, to the great state of Alabama, where you have men and you have uncles and you have a lot of people in Birmingham that take on kids that have been abandoned by fathers …

“I know that y’all are older, but if y’all ever feel any kind of way or you feel unloved and need a male figure, a father figure, there’s people out here like myself … and others. We’d be more than happy to have you.”
Tyrese subsequently responded to these clips in a series of Instagram Stories.

“There have been specific things done over the years that are nobody’s business that has contributed to where they are,” he began. “Kids out here be going above and beyond to cross you. I do not what that man … or his kids.. or anything about anything.
“What I am talking about is I feel like it is not fair to act as if relationships between men and their children … can’t fall apart.”

Tyrese also previously expressed solidarity with Diddy, whose legal troubles continue to intensify.
In a since-deleted Instagram post from March, the 45-year-old noted that he will be standing by the mogul amid his ongoing lawsuits stemming from multiple allegations of abuse.
“What I can’t do and what I won’t do is downplay the laughter, the fun, the energy, the inspiration, the award shows, the studio sessions, the most legendary parties and events I’ve ever attended in my life,” he began, “and I also can’t act as if my high school backyard parties throughout South Central LA wasn’t the craziest parties ever because of the Bad Boy on slew of hit records.
“I don’t condone nor do I support abuse, bullying, sexual assault or anything that is currently being alleged but what I can’t do is turn the blinds on how much this [man] means to me and all of us and what he has done for the community of music and culture.

He continued: “Don’t worry I’m the only one crazy enough to jump out there and say what most of you want to say but you don’t have the balls to do so because it’s very normal for people to be going through a rough patch and we all sit back and make a mockery of it. But I’m not gonna do that.
“I’m praying for Diddy, his kids, his family, his mother and all of the alleged the victims that’s in the middle of trying to simply have their voices to be heard. I love this brother. He’s been nothing but kind and generous towards me and that’s the way I feel. Praying and praying for more of a better outcome of all this is happening, God bless you and your family…”
