The repercussions of McKnight’s statements have been palpable. His scheduled performance at the MotorCity Casino Hotel in Detroit at the beginning of June was abruptly canceled. This cancellation came as a direct result of the intense trolling and criticism that event organizers faced on social media, with users expressing their disapproval and lack of interest in supporting McKnight any longer. Comments such as “Wouldn’t even go for free” and “Tell him bring his kids and we might come” flooded online platforms, highlighting the extent of the public’s backlash.

Interestingly, McKnight’s ex-wife Julie also chimed in on the situation, indirectly referencing the cancellation with a simple popcorn emoji in one of her social media posts. This emoji could be interpreted as her enjoying the fallout of McKnight’s actions. Julie had previously responded to McKnight’s comments about their children by comparing his behavior to that of “a kid without candy who throws a tantrum.”
Despite the widespread backlash and the cancellation of his concert, Brian McKnight has remained silent on the matter, choosing not to address the situation publicly. This silence has left many wondering about his thoughts and intentions regarding the controversy surrounding his remarks and the subsequent cancellation of his performance.
