Kirk Franklin Addresses The Disturbing Phone Call Between Him And His Son: “It Traumatizes Me To This Day”

Kirk Franklin claims that the leaked phone call with his son, Kerrion, resulted in the “worst two years of my life.”

In March 2021, the 35-year-old leaked the recording of a private conversation between him and his father on Instagram. On the recording, Kirk can be heard issuing threats to Kerrion, like “I will put my foot in your a**” and “I will break your neck.” He also let off a string of profanity-filled insults at Kerrion.

Kirk apologized for his actions and says, “It traumatizes me to this day. It is very difficult, and my wife [Tammy] will tell you.”

“That tape was a reflection of years of what our family dynamic has been going through, just so you know,” he added. “You don’t have that type of anger out there without there being a history of something.”

Shortly after the incident, Kirk shared an apology video saying he’s “not perfect”.

“Recently, my son and I had an argument that he chose to record. I felt extremely disrespected in that conversation and I lost my temper, and I said words that are not appropriate,” the singer said. “I am sincerely sorry to all of you, I sincerely apologize.”
