Kirk Franklin apologises over cussing video released by his son, Kerrion

Award winning gospel singer and songwriter, Kirk Franklin, has issued a statement apologising about his behaviour on a video put online by his first son named Kerrion.

Apparently, Kerrion recorded a heated conversation between him and his father where Kirk used some swear words. Kerrion recorded the argument and put it on his Instagram page saying,

"This is why I’m done. No father should speak to their children like this. If I have any issues it’s because Of this type of treatment that ii deal with behind closed doors. Hanging up in my face, No apology, no compassion, no effort. Stop telling me to go home to my family I don’t even know where they live. I don’t think I’ll ever trust my father to be alone around him ever again. I didn’t want to do this. I probably won’t release the entire recording because it’s too embarrassing that Im even dealing with this. No matter what ppl think I pray my dad deals with his deep hatred toward me. I don’t feel safe around him at all. This recording is recent it is not from 2018 just to clarify. Im going to learn from these experiences, live my life in peace and make beautiful art 🙏🏽"

According to him, He has had a toxic relationship with his 32 year old for many years. Kirk had Kerrion when he was very young; at 18.

He further added.

"Recently my son and I had an argument that he chose to record. I felt extremely disrespected at that conversation and I lost my temper and I said words that are not appropriate. And I am sincerely sorry to all of you. I sincerely apologise. I want you to know that as a father, during that conversation, I called the family therapist and got that therapist on the phone, to try to help. He never played that part of the recording."

"I am not perfect. I am human and I am going to make mistakes and I am trying to get it right."

"Please keep me and my family in your prayers"
