From Page Six

Kirk Franklin says that his son’s decision to leak a vicious phone conversation between them has lead to the “worst two years of my life.”

In March of 2021 the Grammy Award-winning artist‘s estranged 35-year-old Kerrion recorded and a private exchange between the two and posted it on Instagram. On the tape, Kirk threatens Kerrion, saying “I will put my foot in your ass” and “I will break your neck.” He also throws a string of profanity-laced insults at the younger man.

Kirk apologized to his fans the following day.

Now he tells Page Six, “It traumatizes me to this day. It is very difficult, and my wife [Tammy] will tell you.”

The 53-year-old “STOMP” artist says that his rant didn’t come out of the blue.

“That tape was a reflection of years of what our family dynamic has been going through, just so you know,” he said, “You don’t have that type of anger out there without there being a history of something.”
