Earlier this week reports surfaced indicating Kanye West was not only the wealthiest Black person in America currently, but that he was also the richest African American in history.

Thanks to his shrewd business investments, music catalog (as performer and producer), deals with Adidas, fashion retailers, and more, the original report clocked his net worth at an astonishing $6.6 billion.

As the story made its rounds on the net, Forbes – the authority in celebrity wealth and finance – has clocked the claim as “invalid” and provided receipts to substantiate their dispute.

Gospel icon Kirk Franklin has been the topic of headlines, ridicule, and criticism over the last few days following the leak of explosive phone audio that saw him launch into a profanity-laden tirade against his oldest child, Kerrion.

During the call, which was recorded and lifted to Instagram by Kerrion, his ‘Stomp’-performing dad threated to break his neck and worse after the 33-year-old apparently made upsetting comments (which were not heard on the film footage).

Nevertheless, while Kirk received overwhelming support from most of his industry friends and fans, some critics believe his actions were totally inappropriate – a response that led the GRAMMY winner to issue a formal apology Sunday (March 14).

Now, via an interview with ‘The Tamron Hall Show,’ he’s speaking out publicly for the first time on the matter.  See highlights from the sit-down discussion below:
