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.”
