Kirk Franklin is speaking up and out after audio of his verbal altercation with his eldest son Kerrion went viral.
As reported, the ‘Stomp’ performer sounded like he wanted to do exactly that to his offspring – who leaked the audio of their expletive-heavy disagreement.
Now, in a somber video, the star has issued an apology.
He also added further context, revealing that his son’s relationship with the family has been “toxic” for some time and that the Franklins therapist was also on a portion of the call that conveniently wasn’t shared.

I understand him he did nothing wrong that’s his child the son can not speak to him like that.
No need to apologize, that boy is a damn brat-grown-ass man acting out of pocket. he deserved more.
No need to apologize. Clearly his son needed cussing out.
KIRK tries to be perfect in front of the camera… Whats done in the dark ..comes to the light.. YOU ARE NOT PERFECT — you say MOFO TOO
No, it’s called self respect. A concept that many in this generation can’t seem to grasp. You don’t air your dirty laundry in public under the guise of “keeping it real”. Many prominent people will curse you ALL THE WAY OUT behind closed doors.
I truly don’t understand why this is being made a big deal of, People are so in Kirk’s personal life judging him instead of looking at what happened what grown 32 year old man records his conversation with his father? He grown he cant get along with his dad move on with your life but the level of respect is terrible as a son we should have never heard they conversation disloyal ungrateful people do this.. Get yourself together young man n either respect yourself and your dad or move on💯🙏🏾#PRAYINGFORKIRK
That nikka son is 33 …that ain’t no damn child
The world has gone crazy. I hate this present state of the world.
I will cuss on my kids and even beat them reasonably if they do anything wrong.
You can kiss my A S S or go have your own kids wtf
Agreed! That’s called parenting 💅🏿💅🏿 Kids in this generation have no discipline and morality whatsoever 🤳🏿🤳🏿
The only thing he’s sorry for is that the recording got out. Black people are disgusting.
STFU Danzou 6ix9ine…your dummy a$$ is always thirsting after lil Nas, so black folks can’t be that disgusting. 💋💋
Hey Tessica Brown you will find that it is Nancy CLOWN who calls Lil’ Nas its future baby daddy, not me. Nice try but you failed AGAIN! And stop trying to make me sleep with you, it will NEVER happen ｈｏｅ (嵐オャ).
It’s sad to see us as black people embrace, encourage and justify emotional and even physical abuse and call it “discipline” or teaching your child to “respect” you. I’m not saying Kirk’ son was right and we don’t know what he said to provoke Kirk to lose his mind, but I do know no human being is born with hatred towards their parent. “Cussing” and “beating” your kids to submission shows a lack of emotional intelligence and self discipline itself. Why do you think we go out and “beat” the rest of our community down and think it’s normal? It starts at home. Emotional and physical abandonment is real, and I’m sure that runs deep within Kirk and his son….
It’s ok Kirk you should’ve cussed his disrespectful ass out .You did right and it was a good cussing out I’m a new fan of yours now.Cuss more Kirk!
Nobody is perfect. Mostly every family has that Kerrion! I know because my family does! They just want to put you to shame because everybody looks up to you! Praying for you and your family! All you can do is pray for your child that lost his way!

Aren’t you the epitome of “mentally” healthy, encouraging more verbal abuse….typical hood rat logic and behavior… 🙄

NO NEED TO APOLOGIZE…
These adult children 4get2remember…
Many positions in their life wiLL change…
HOWEVER…1 POSITION WONT!
THE PARENT…MOMA OR DADDY..
HEALING PRAYERS SENT …✌ 💘
Why does Mr. Franklin have to apologize to an adult son for disrespecting him? Ungrateful and disrespectful people have gotten out of hand and victims have to apologize and be held responsible for the behavior of others.
His son should not contact him unless it is with respect and gratefulness.
Mr. Franklin owes NO apologies. Jesus Christ understand and so do we.
Kirk no need to apologize to no one but God. This is no child he is an adult which mean no one should criticize you for another grown adult. We don’t know what led to this and funny how only the recording started when the cursing started. We all have fallen short and have been cursed out before. No judge this way he needs to respect thy mother and father for your days will be numbered. God didn’t give an age limit on that scripture. I love you and praying for your family.
