If audio from an alleged leaked phone call is to be believed, Gospel legend Kirk Franklin meant it when he promised the stomp, the whole stomp, and nothing but the stomp – this time to his estranged eldest son, Kerrion.
Nearly three years after Kerrion, who is also a musician, first took to Instagram to accuse his ‘sneaky’ father of ‘trying to kill him’ (click here to read more), he has returned to the platform with alleged proof of his dad’s hostility.
The evidence came courtesy of a recorded phone call that appears to show the ‘Melodies from Heaven’ hitmaker spewing a profanity-fueled rant toward the younger Franklin – even threatening to put his ‘foot in the a**’ and ‘break the neck’ of the 33-year-old.
That’s not all he’s accused of saying. Hear the audio inside and see how Twitter’s responding to the hoopla.
Needless to say, Twitter had a field day with audio heard above after it was posted Saturday (March 13).
See some of the responses below:
The video offers little context about what led up to the dispute before the recording. As of time reported, Kirk has not issued a statement on the family drama to confirm it’s his voice that’s heard.

Why’s everyone so shocked? The saints will cuss their kids out in a heartbeat, if they ask for it.
Doesn’t change my opinion of him. He sounded like a father who is tired of being disrespected by his grown son. Hopefully they work through it.
These kids have no respect for their parents. I’m sure Kirk was tired of his sons @$&!. I see nothing wrong here.
EXACTLY! Kirk is still one of God’s children regardless. His son made me mad. Lil ungrateful, disrespectful ass. He got some nerve. He pushed that man to cuss his sorry ass out!
….I don’t see the issue. Because it’s Kirk Franklin he’s not supposed to curse?
Exactly. He is the one claiming he is a christian. Read your Bible!!! Christians don’t cuss. This man isn’t saved!!!
That’s what we called “Ghetto”💅🏿💅🏿💅🏿
What’s ghetto is your nasty a s s. Go crawl back up in the hole your mom calls a vag!na and stop spewing your hateful rhetoric.
Ugly one, you need to crawling back to yo daddy’s infection a s s h o l e and that’s where you belong💅🏿💅🏿 While your daddy is receiving gang bang treatment from your uncles and he will s h I t you out with loads of c u m, now flush it 🤳🏿🤳🏿🤳🏿
Mary Mary would never.
Chile please. You ain’t gon tell me Tina didn’t go in when her husband cheated on her several times with multiple women.
Tina tried to kill her husband
Well carrying on with my day 😴.
The son is wrong for recording this and putting it out for all to hear. Family business should stay within the family.
WE are all pushed to our limit at times,, especially if we see someone we love going in the wrong direction in this life..However, I have a huge issue with anyone using the LORD’S name in vain..especially someone who is seen as a spiritual leader.. He doesn’t owe us an apology because GOD is his judge not us. Real talk though, , GOD said what is done in the dark. will come to the light.
His son pulled his cover. You do call sing for God and cuss your son out? I’m tired of this lying preachers and singers claiming they are christians and then when they cheat, cuss, or lie they apologize. The bottom line is none of these people are christians.
Christians don’t cuss. Anyone can claim they are a christian doesn’t mean they are. This man needs to get on his knees. If he had died while cussing his son out y’all actually think he is going to heaven? Wake up!!! The road to heaven is narrow. These folks are not going there.
why he speak to his father like that is so disrespectful
I don’t think Mahalia Jackson would approve of this
You are right she wouldn’t.
Really – this is what we’ve progressed to as a society, people airing their personal family problems on YouTube? With their parents at that? Lol
Kirk should’ve kicked his fucken teeth in.
Had he cut his behind when he was a little boy instead of thinking what he was doing and saying was cute he would not have to be going toe to toe with him as a man, Kirk Franklin spared the rod and spoiled the child now he has to pay for hit by being disrespected by said chid and having to go ghetto on him thus cussing him out.
Ok number one : why putting this online ? What’s the point… because his dad is a celeb ?!
Number two : we don’t know the context and what led up to that situation.
It’s way too easy to be judgmental without even knowing what actually happened.
Whatever the deal, it’s sad that either as a son, grown up should I add, or as a father, they use such vocabulary.
I may be naive, but I would like to think that no matter what the issues are, to a certain extent, you can try to talk things out with a calm approach. Because anger is just going to bring more pain and more chaos. We’re all human after all, and get caught up in our emotions, but it doesn’t mean that they won’t have a peaceful chat later on.
Certain words or sentences can cut you like a knife, it takes a lot of self control sometimes, depending on the situation and the other person’s attitude, to think before you speak.
I feel like this ,chk it out first we are not perfect we are saved by Grace, by FAITH YA FEEL ME. It is a gift from God. This dude 33 yrs old wth bro get the hell out his house and get yo own life feel me, this is crazy @kirkfranklin it’s OK he probably needed it he cussssssed his tail OOUUT!! LOL LOL 🤣🤣🤣🤣 THIS DUDE OLD AS HELL TALKIN BOUT HE SCARED LOL LOL GET OUUUUT 🤣🤣🤣
Kirk Franklin is not God nor is he or anyone else perfect. We people who love the Lord TRY to live a life as such. But we allow the devil to get to us sometimes. He allowed anger to take over. His son shouldn’t have had that kind of come back. He should have told him Lord Bless You dad!!
The don didn’t get disrespectful until the parent did. So he deserves to be cuss tf out.. Parent or not you don’t disrespect ppl and think your not supposed to be cussed tf back out!! Great job son for standing your ground. Your a grown ass man make him respect you as such!
First LeAndria naked on IG, now this. Something tells me they all get drunk and play spades after church together.
Little brat, recording his father putting it up on the net trying to destroy his father’s character. people will do anything for cloth, Christians are humans too, they try not to cuss but sometimes it happens.
IF HIS SON WAS NOT SO DISRESPECTFUL HE WOULD NOT SEE THE DISRESPECTFUL SIDE OF HIS SINNER FATHER…
RECORDING HIS DAD SO THE WORLD COULD HEAR HIM SOUNDING LIKE “THE BLACK MAN” HE WAS, AND STILL IS…DESPITE HIS SUCCESSFUL “GODSPELL”…CAREER, WAS A “B**** ASS”, MOVE…
HIS SON NEEDS TO DO WHAT MY GROWN
BLACK HEBREW ISRAELITE ASS CHILDREN DO…
NOT A GODDAMN THING!!!!!
BUT GO OVER THERE WITH THEIR S***!!!!
Black men at their finest.
Christians are human beings first, quit being so judgmental. He stepped to his father as a grown man and he received a grown man cussing out, period. I don’t condone the exchange but let’s keep things in perspective. we all have cursed or continue to use salty words. Much to do about nothing. Let’s quit eating our own! His son is lucky that’s all he got was cussed out talking to his father like that. Shame on him!
What he is human as the rest of us! Apparently his son did something to p*** him off and the son got his b*** cursed out for it Period!!!
People get your life and stay out of this man business what did his grown ass son do to get cuss out like that it’s two side of every story he human just like you and me
So he cussed…these grown think they entitled people think they gon push up? I wish mines would…Write a song now Kirk!!!!
I don’t blame Kirk these silly ass kids will make you put something on they ass. Kirk is still a man sometimes we let the devil get into us and react in devilish ways. My brother I been there I have four boys and trust me it ain’t easy! Praying for you Kirk and your family 🙏🙏🙏🙏
First of all he is still just human and can still loose his temper……ecspecially if your grown child disrespects you….. But I say “mind you business people mind you business”
As a parent your grown adult children will take you there. Kirk is just a man not a God and nobody is perfect so don’t judge and for his son to record and make that messiness public shows so much immaturity. He’s 33 years old get on your grown man focus on your grind you have way too much time on your hands. That was just petty.
Kirk wasn’t made perfect by being a Christian. But he still damn is 10 X times the human most people are. He’s positively influenced many generations.
Screw whoever is judging him for this. Take your soft a$$ to snowflake wonderland.
First off we don’t know what happened that led up to that point. Secondly, Kirk Franklin didn’t come out the womb a Christian, so he does have a part of him that wasn’t always holier than thou. And then I will say third of all he is a parent I don’t care how old you get you don’t disrespect your parents…. BUT AGAIN I SAY WE DON’T KNOW THE WHOLE STORY!!
I don’t see what the big deal is a grown man cussing out his disrespectful son. Everyone’s talking about he owes them an apology he owes no one anything. him in God has relationship that only them two understand. He’s human. Keep doing what you are doing Kirt a man of God or not, no child should never disrespect their parent.
I’m on kirk franklin’s side, really you’re going to disrespect me like that!!! I raised you took care of you, feed you, financially paid for you schooling and what ever else and you talk to me like this…..HELL NO!!!
GET HIM KIRK…..YOU OWE HIM NOTHING!!!!
BUT A GOOD ASS KICKING…..HELLO…
That’s father and son. That’s what’s wrong with the young men today. The government won’t let us be parents and the kids talk back to us disrespecting us and not caring. Yes I said it. We can take care of them but can’t chastise them. you can kill them but we can’t whip them.
Kirk, you felt the need to apologize to your fans and that’s commendable. Kirk, your son pushed you to the end. And now people expects for you to take abuse from your son and show yourself weak. You demand respect. He is grown and he needs to grow up. No weapon formed against you will prosper. It won’t work. Not now. Not ever! Praying for you, Kirk.
What happened to honor thy mother and thy father? Society is so quick to look for something negative so they can have something to gossip about. Who cares if he cursed his grown son who evidently was expecting this of his father to record it? People…see what I am saying to you? Kirk is human and it sounds like he has had it up to here with this child. Kirk, I commend you as a father for standing your ground. God has you! As for the son, I will say this; you are a grown man and whatever differences you and your father may have experienced in the past you should either walk away and be your own man and get your own family or simply make peace and find out what it is that truly have you so much in turmoil.
Hey did what a man should do with our children. He’s still human. Wow he cursed pastors do it every day. Let’s stop acting like this is something new. Good job kirk
Hello Bro Franklin The Bible State That Father Son Will Be Against Each Other And That Children Should Honor You That Day Be Long On The Earth.
Father Don’t Prov provoke provoke your children to wrath either but love them as Christ loved us be that example as crisis yes be angry and said not but sometimes yes we say words that that we shouldn’t say but God is a forgiving God and what he’s doing it’s just trying to make you more angry by putting you all family business in the street but you know God just tell it to him and other people audience fans whoever pray keep your mouth off the off the man of God because when you open your mouth and put it on him God is going to get you we have all been in the same boat but we have been to God and God has forgiven us we don’t have no perfect children we have said some words too but God is a forgiving God we going to pray father God in the name of Jesus touch brother Kurt his family we Bond the enemy we bind the devil we putting him under our feet in the name of Jesus he sang More in life to me you said that you would never leave us or forsake us you will be with us into the end and right now Lord Jesus he needs he needs your help he needs you right now bring those that Father And that son back together bring that family back together we bind it in the name of Jesus saving God but rebuke you and Jesus name tearing up families God honest families and Jesus name the blood that covers the blood that put us back together in the name of Jesus oh God we thank you we thank you we thank you we bless your name for your goodness and your mercy toward us we give you praise we give you glory and we magnify your name and Jesus name amen and Amen brother Kurt all I can tell you is study your word stay in your word and as you write write something from the word about families this is something for you to write about families my name is Sister Claudette my name is Sister Claudette I live in Stockton California and this is something for you to write about is a father and sons relationship being tore up but God is going to put it back together God is going to put it back together and when he does you going to tell us all about it but remember I said right about families and remember Proverbs 356 and Isaiah 26-3 Isaiah 26:3 that will keep you in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on the just keep your mind on God and he going to put this all all behind you and you going to have peace that passes all understanding and they going to say people going to say you still writing yeah I’m still writing I’m right and I’m yeah right and I’m yet praising him because he’s good he’s his birth and then Philippians 4 and 8 whatsoever things are good you think of those things you think it on good things don’t sit there and be sad I ain’t never seen you with a long face be glad be glad about it think about your friend Rance Allen he was always happy and get glad continue to praise Him continue to magnify Him continue to give him glory and regardless of the situation I live in Stockton California and we the young people love your your music you draw young people and continue to draw them don’t let this be a stumbling block for you let it be a trial that you going to go through to tell somebody else how God has blessed you to make it through this hurdle yes yes how God has made it has how God has blessed you this is only a test for a testimony that’s what he give them to us for and you can tell somebody else a lady from Stockton saw this and she encouraged me to keep on writing get my journal out right and continue to make songs this is a new song for you this is not to add to the old song this is a new song and you ask God to forgive you you ask the people to forgive you the Bible says when you ask you went to them you and asked and if they don’t want to accept that you take another person and if they don’t want to accept it you did what you did you asked them to forgive you and you can just move on and you can go on about your business continue to study your word continue to write and continue to move on continue to bless the Lord that’s what you continue to do cuz I’m going to tell you these these kids that we have today and the kids that’s coming up in today’s world they will make you go there but sometimes you got to reach up toward heaven
It not the audience that this argument need You both need God and that stop covering your body with money and Satan and what this belittling each other I thought we were practicing BLACK LIVES MATTER Y dont you people just stay in the wood with your pity party abuse your two minds are on a challenging mode and you both lost go find OUR FATHER WHICH ART IN HEAVEN….Amen
It clear that the son wanted to shame his father and get people to talking and hopefully ruin Kirk’s career. Kirk is human and stated many times, that God is not finished with him yet. I forgive him, his son on the other hand needs hands laid upon him! What is is reason fir doing this? If you don’t like your father why talk to him? If you think he is crap go on with your own life! He might be his son, but he is a grown man and this was petty and childish. Grow up kid!
This grown a*** man has probably been milking his relationship with his father for years; give me this, give me that, do this fir me, do that for me, introduce me to this person, tale this person is o listen to my tape. Listen, Kirk, if your right hand offends you, cut it off! He’s 33, he’s grown and should be left to be grown on his own. Cut him off, no more VIP, no more phone call (he’d have to go through my agent to get at me). Done, done and done. As for the so-called Christians, show me in the Bible where it says “thou shalt not curse.” Sick of these “Christians” casting stones, here’s a clue, ya name ain’t Jesus!
Kirk Franklin is a well respected man He has done no more than the rest of us as a parent .these children can definitely take you there, so stop making a big issue out of nothing, just because the public heard it,how many of you all have been curse by your parents or curse you kid out ,shmnd I know I have Leave this man alone stop acting like you all are saints but you’re nothing but aints👀
YEA, I IDENTIFY AS CHRISTIAN, CERTAINLY VERY SPIRITUAL AT AGE 63. MY SON IS 32 NOW AND YES AT AGE 15, HE BECAME A MAN AND TOOK A SWING AT POPS. HE NOT ONLY GOT CURSED OUT, HE ALSO LEARNED THAT HIS OLD SKOOL DADDY HAD MAJOR COMBAT SKILLZ. HOWEVER, ALL PRAISE TO GOD ALMIGHTY BECAUSE 15 YEARS LATER, MY SON HAS BECOME MY BEST FRIEND AND I LOVE HIM MORE THAN WORDS COULD EVER SAY. I HAVE NO JUDGEMENT OF CURT FRANKLIN, HE IS A MAN AND HE HAS MY SINCERE RESPECT AND SUPPORT. THE REST OF YOU NEGATIVE NANCY’S CAN PLAY JUDGE, JURY, AND EXECUTIONER IF THAT’S WHAT YOU CHOOSE TO DO, BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY AND CERTAINLY DOING YOUR TIME OF TRANSITION, GOD WILL BE THE JUDGE OF US ALL. AND THEN YOU WILL UNDERSTAND THAT NONE OF US ARE WORTHY OF HIS GRACE. BELIEVE THAT!
No need to apologize Kirk! You are human, and those with grown ass children that are disrespectful need a good cussing out. This is a full age man. You don’t like your father get to stepping. And people just shut the hell up and worry about your own relationships with your 30 something year old offspring. Kudos to telling him off. There’s a lot of people that have said that and worse. I’m one of them. Ask for God’s forgiveness, not these phony ass ppl that let their young kids cuss them out and hit on them. Oh pleeze leave him and his son alone.
Pray for him and his son.
The son is grown need his own house.
If he is being disobedience to father.
Don’t be so judgemental.
Hang in there Kirk, my opinion He was just fed up with the Nonsense and chose to let it out Verbally. Which was better than Physically expressing himself. We all know there are so many that would and do chose the latter. He is alright with me No Problem Here. Like Uncle Steve said you don’t know the rest of the Story….
I’m curious if Kirk Franklin apologized to his son… It sounds like Kirk may be more interested of saving his face & reputation… being first concerned about his image than his relationship with son.
He is only human. People should stop putting these entertainers on a high platforms..we live in a fallen world. Surround by demonic activity..we all have weeknesses., shot comings and are subjuct to fail..we dont know what we would do if we were to be put uder pressure. The bible lets us no that if he did use prophanity repent on go on. Yes it looks bad but we that are true believers christains no this..this area of his lifr needs more of the word of God..I am not offended because i no what the word of Gods says..I am thankful he came forth to opologize to his fans and christian forum.this shows a measure of boldness and intregrity. Mr. Kirk pick yourself up shake yourself and repent and go on..the devil is always looking to whom he may devour..the devil comes to kill..steal..and destroy..get in the word of God.seek him and this too shall pass..never forget where you come from the Lord is your keeper the Lord is the one who gives our talents..abilities and the Lord can take away..be bless continue to smile Mr. Kirk you have blessed so many..lovr you to life
