I have told my kids the moment that they are “grown” enough to disrespect me or their Mama it’s time for them to go & be grown on their own! They forfeit all of our assistance because grown folks take care of themselves!
All children have a moment. The put the toe on the line. But THIS position right here is what determines how that child will follow-through. My parents told me this. And I told my kids.
I'm a mother of 4 grown children, a son and 3 daughters and I will say that I've been there a time or two. It hurts you as a parent to go there with your child. I felt Kirk's emotions and it just hurt my heart. Rickey, I appreciate your honesty, and all that you do and have done for others. Some are just thankful that someone did something for them and some no matter how much you do , it's never enough. Prayers for us all it's a tough job being parents. Love from TN
Kirk, stand firm as the godly father you are. We’re all going through our issues with our grown kids who think they can show such disrespect to parent, commit them back to the lord’s hands and he will take care of them, love
As a single mother who got royally cussed the fuck out by the child that everyone said I spoiled...that kind of anger is hard to control instantly in the moment. I relate to Kirk Franklin and Im sending the Franklins prayers.
I have been told 3 times this week that my son is in here calling me bitches and stepping in my face because I spoiled him. His anger is out of control and I have tried everything. I aint kissing no ass that still got afterburner on his damn lips. Im over these kids. You want a hard knock that get it out the mud life you got it. This touch so close to home.
Thank you, Ricky for posting this! Thank you for supporting him! No one has the right to throw stones in our glass houses! Our children can try us! I would NOT have apologized to anyone! Kirk doesn't owe anyone an apology.
His son is a grown man, he got handled accordingly. You never know the amount of hurt a child of yours can inflict on you, by disrespecting you, until you have a child that does. It's an unimaginable feeling.
He's a dad there's only one FATHER and this is who he needs to apologize too. Keep loving your son kirk no need to explain to this worldly people!!!! We love Mr. Franklin and his son!!!😍
I think it was best for him to. He has a platform & if he didn't; he would give the media time to create lies. Kirk was able to speak out and control the narrative.
I agree with Ricky. The current culture trying to emasculate men, especially black men, trying to cancel the God given authority of parents, trying to spit in their parents face or whatever, disrespecting them with this crazy sense of entitlement...ENTITLEMENT B.S. I'm gonna stop right here. Because this is ridiculous...doing this to caring parents. Remember God's 5th Command...
@@romishafranks so in your mind it's impossible for a parent to push your buttons. Sounds like u think becoming a parent makes you infallible. This is the beginning of slavery. And no, common sense is in my mind ear and mind. No white people needed for that one.
I heard Kirk cussed his son out and I didn't even bother to listen to the tape. I was like "And?" Kids can push you right over the edge at times. Nobody is perfect and sometimes they need to be cussed out. Especially those that only contact you when they want something.
How do you spell EXCATLY !!! Think I'm some damn Robot, I'm a real mother, I'll snuff your rotten behind. And nobody will even know. That's how REAL MOTHERS LOVE !!! Lol...
The fact that his son recorded that lets you know that he had every intention to provoke that cursing out. I ain’t mad at him at all. People try to look at Gospel singers as God when they’re only human just like us 🤷🏽♀️
But the world is so backwards if it wasn't the son would have known he was going to get ripped. But he know the world is backwards that's y he can post nonsense.
Exactly. I will block my son in a minute and cut off all financial help. It humbles him every time and reminds him that he’s not running his program in my home. My love and support are always there for him, but his has to evolve to a level of maturity that align with God’s will for our lives.
It is a blessing to see you speak with support on Mr. Franklin’s unfortunate situation with his son. An apology from him is completely unnecessary. His son needs counseling for his behavior and he should apologize to his father for being an unfaithful son. I’m praying for their healing.🌺
Kids don’t understand until they become parents. After my first kid went to college, I called and apologized to my parents. Children will never understand the sacrifice until they become parents.
I apologized to my parents too. As a matter of fact, I still do it from time to time. I really appreciate them now and am very sorry for all I put them through
@ThxGod It'sOver repent for what? His grown son recorded him without hos permission and edited his part to make Kirk Franklin look like the bad guy. Thus grown boy need to repent himself. He is lucky that is all he got. Just because Kirk is a Christian does not mean he won't be tested by unruly kids like his son.
Exactly, he didn’t just start cussin him out for no reason. I said on another vid, if it was MY father, he would’ve kicked the lining outta my brother’s a$$, and wouldn’t have lost a second’s sleep about it.
U preaching the truth...I'm a single mom who raised 3 children and been through it...today I'm doing it all over again ..single glam-ma...I'm an Elder', and I'm taking care of my grandson who lost his mom...no dad..and I'm going through some tough situations with him and have cursed him out plenty of times and repented later...these kids will take you there....and I'm ready...he be 18...I'm like Ricky when I've done all I can and you outta pocket !! You just been expired to figure it out
Yes he does owe the Christian community an apology if he feels or the mass majority feels that he has offered them through his action, he should repent and ask them for forgiveness its biblical and there's nothing wrong with apologizing, it shows strength of character.
THE CHRISTIAN COMMUNITY‼️‼️‼️THEY'RE NOT GOD SO WHYYYY'D YOU STRESS THAT FACT ⁉️ IN MYYY OPINION THE ONLY PERSON HE SHOULD'VE APOLOGIZED TO WAS HIS SON WHICH HE ABSOLUTELY DID NOT ‼️
@@colorpurple4623 show me that in Scripture. His son never should have post this in social media in the first place. That conversation was for his ears and his ears only. That was not made for the masses to hear. His son caused this nobody else. You don't ha e a heaven or hell to put him in. That is not your call.
I'm so glad that have my Dad around still. He's been through heart surgery in December. Sometimes in the moment during the past I got mad at my Dad but learn not to raise my voice at him or yell. I don't want to do anything stupid that I would regret for the rest of my life. I'm just making sure no matter what, I want to always respect my Dad and my Mom and respect the elders. I been taking my Dad to his appointments and helping him out and I enjoy it. It's help me to develop relationships. I would take him to the store too and also get coffee together. I'm 36 years old but I am proud to spend as much time with Dad. This message is reminding me to continue to be good to my Dad and keep doing what I'm doing. My Mom appreciate for what I'm doing with my Dad.
He’s all good with me. He didn’t have to apologize for anything. Raising kids ain’t no joke. They make you want to put them in headlocks all the time. Smh
I know exactly how he feels mine is 39 and I have been cussed by my child and her child(grandchild) so. My prayers and support goes out to Mr.Kirk Franklin.❤❤❤
He sure didn’t need to Apologize. He’s a human being just like everyone else and had moment with his son. And now everyone want to judge him. Kirk you did the Right Thing!!
Fortunately, my father has never talked to me this way. I have never given my reason to. I would never have disrespected my father in the way this man talked to his father. I don't blame Kirk Franklin for what he did, he is human and I can appreciate where he is coming from . I support Kirk 100%.
I'm a black mother and when you love a adult child that's going in the wrong direction, you can talk to them like an adult and cursing maybe involved. Entitlement is REAL, SMDH On a personal note Kirk Franklin's first cd is still my #1 gospel cds of all time
I can’t believe his son is 33 years old talking to his dad like that! I’d never! People are quick to say don’t beat your kids but that’s what happens when you don’t.
All I heard was a aggravated parent do what they do. “Verbally get after his grown butt child”. No apology needed Kirk. That young man needs to grow up.
Me too. What's the big deal. So now kids gonna record them getting disciplined by their parents. N ppl gonna say oh my gosh apologize to your child for cursing them out, because the child hit the principal.
Understandable but without excuse. Isn’t control of ones tongue a Christian requirement? I too am guilty but please don’t dare excuse it as okay. It is BIG FLAW we must get a grip over and overcome.
You don't judge anyone and you talking like this shows your belief in God/Jesus Christ. I follows God/Jesus Christ and one main thing you don't Judge. Only God/Jesus Christ judges with i trying to stay in obedience. If i am doing something's you dislike you suppose to pray on me and not judge me. Lord i ask you ģo in Carolyn Thompson life leading her to a Bible study to learn about You Lord in Jesus Christ name i pray. Amen.
I totally agree!! These grown .... kids think they suppose to run you. Mr. Franklin I got you!!!! I'm going through the same thing . My is a girl!!!!!😐
You know what being saved don’t make you perfect I appreciate you saying that I do but let me ask you this if you met me and you saw me getting up jumping for God speaking in tongues shout and running around the church taking off my shirt and shoes running for Jesus I’m on fire for Jesus I’m way in signs I’m on fire for Jesus I love the Lord and then you heard me curse out my child and Mom set a ties in my child or am I being belligerent to my child
Read your Bibles...Again. Leave Kirk Franklin Alone. Look in the Mirror...Judge ye not...Pray for Your Brother & Sister. Who does Kirk need to apologize too??? No One. That's between him and His.
Ricky, brother I just went through the same thing with my 31 year old son. Social Media was his platform to attack my character and reputation because I stopped giving. My support and sympathy goes out to Kirk and all Good Fathers that have to face this type of betrayal. #BlackFathersMatter
No. Your kids come to you from GOD. If you can't respect that then you have nothing at all to say to me. Keep your non music making ass out of my face.
@@DDejon wow the bible itself states in the Gospel the greatest song ever written produced by the best Father and son team ever released on holy spirits records mother against daughter father against son sister against brother! Train up a child yes gifts from God heed the warning Cain a son of God made by his hands warned by God to his face if u don't becareful sin standing at your door to bring the curse up out of u! And yet with Adam parent skills and the Creators manhood instruction in his face he still killed his brother! The enemy didn't kill Able Cain his brother did because he was jealous the same way this son is in his heart ❤ regarding his father proof public post and public shame this man has express many things in his music his music is great because everyone can relate no matter what or who u believe in u can feel what a difference a smile makes or u can stump out hate! God said becareful evil, standing there waiting to judge u! At the front door! People always miss it everything is a lesson and a blessing a teaching moment from God! Someone needed to know even though u righteous check them grown children Someone needed to learn even though u grown u can still be checked ✔
Totally relate as a parent of two teen boys. Those that have negative thoughts need to check their judgment at the door. Not your job to judge. Speak Rickey!!
He didn’t get caught up. He checked his disrespectful Son. Kirk Franklin owes no one an apology. I would have snatches ass through that phone. I would have went looking for him.
No he didn’t need to apologize, that conversation was meaning to be between him and his son. That’s conversation was none of our business. I definitely don’t look at him any different at all.
I'm in my 30s and my parents are in their 60s. My parents have never had to speak to me that way. And we need to appreciate the sacrifices our parents made, even if they made mistakes, no one is perfect. And we have to forgive them for their mistakes, if we want to be forgiven.
Kirk cursed his son out, Kirk apologized for it....Kirk owned everything he did and how he felt he should have handled it. Now if anything, if Kirk' s son followed in his Dad's doorsteps...this situation wouldn't be a topic of conversation. I applaud Kirk for being what many men need to do, step up to the plate and be a father, but then again that's what real men do. I heard Rocky Smiley just say "blood thicker than water" but he didn't leave it at that, Ricky spoke on disrespect. My great grandmother put it this way, "blood maybe thicker than water, but sometimes you may need to thin it".
As A Dedicated Black Father, That Sh*# Really Hurts Man!! We're Not perfect but We Give Our Kids EVERYTHINGGGGGGG!! To Be Disrespected and Highly Unappreciated. IT REALLY REALLY HURTS MAN! 😔🙏🏽
Listen, praying for Kirk. If his son was worth anything we never would have heard about this situation. For him to get this mad his son crossed the line.
Yeah it is the son’s fault. Parents are allowed to curse and treat their kids how they want. How dare his son out him to how he treats him in private. Matter a fact let me tell my daughter she’s a b*tch because she made me mad today.
The thing about it is the Messenger exposed the message. You know the saying, "Don't blame the messenger!" They each need to come under their own conscience and conviction. It was the embarrassing fact that this was done publicly and not as between God and man; in secret. I say if somebody's gonna tell it. Tell on yourself.
Mannn, I wished my dad gave me a car and sent me to college when I was 18. Instead he told me the same bullshit baby boomers do, "your a man now. Get out and get ur own place.?" At 18 years old!!!! I'm 45 now. Those years in my 20s were very hard. So it pisses me off when I hear stories of selfish spoiled boys behaving this way towards their dads
I feel your pain and know it must've been hard for a good portion of your life. This is kind of long but I wish that my parents had been like your dad was because my brother is 41 and has nothing going for himself, including no job in 14 years......YES 14 YEARS. I have another brother also and we are both doing fine and have tried getting the other one to man-up but it's a waste of energy. I told him to just let him be and let the chips and karma fall wherever. He was given the opportunity to go to college like we were but he dropped out after a couple of semesters. Then quit his job years later and hasn't worked since then. He's bad with money (never had money saved, never maintained a bank account and never paid bills), no friends and a bad attitude if we bring up the word JOB to him. He also gets an attitude with my mom if she asks him to do certain things. But she acts like his situation is no big deal and even lies to family and friends if they ask about him. She makes it seem like he's doing as good as me and my other brother. I'm not bragging about how the two of us are doing because, trust me, we struggled to get what we have now. However, we took advantage of the opportunity to graduate from college, work and live at home for a while after graduating to save money and prepare for dealing with the harsh world. But my brother chooses to just mooch while my mom lets him. My parents divorced when we were young and my dad moved across the country a few years after it was finalized. He really didn't spend time or discipline him at all so it was all on my mom. But I feel like my brother is the type that needed someone like your dad in his life because look at how he turned out. My mom has enabled him into a 41 year old 10 year old. Matter of fact, some 10 year olds are doing mich better than him and don't have bratty, spoiled, entitled attitudes like my brother does. So maybe your dad was trying to avoid you turning out like this and this is the only way that he knew how to do it. Imagine if you were 45 and in my brother's situation. 😔
@@moonsyoungestsun6550 couldn't have imagined that because i had career goals since 15. Thats a shame your bro is like that and ur mom also enables it. In my home it wasn't just my dad it was my mom also who pushed us out (she regrets it now). But I forgave and came to grips that, they didn't know better but they meant we'll. Also at the end of the day, 18 or not...once ur out in that world, every decision falls on you. Can't go through life blaming my folks for my failures. That's the difference between me and unlike Mr 33 year old Son of Kirk Franlikn
J-Kikckbox man by the time I was 15 I was made to get a job my sophomore year in high school and kept until I graduated. My father stopped buying my clothes and school materials. He had the audacity to get mad once when my mom took his credit card to buy me a suit for Easter Sunday. She did it because I didn't own one and the ones I had were too small as I was still growing.
Kirk is probably tired of his son and vice versa, you can try and try. People are who they are, some don't feel the need to change. We have to turn family lose just like anyone else.
I totally agree Rickey he was having a private conversation with his son that got railroaded by a disrespectful son that got publicized without his knowledge. He was trying to show his dad to the world and really it backfired to me because he showed how sneaky he was to show his dad in his most vulnerable time. Praying for Kirk and his family.
The fact that his son has been pulling these stunts since 2018 and NOT ONCE has Kirk spoken about it....says to me Kerrion has a hidden agenda going on. The Bible says that sons will rise up against fathers and daughters against mothers. This is a prime example of that. For him to even record that conversation unbeknownst to Kirk was a kid move to get his dad’s attention, and he got more than what he bargained for. It’s sad....
The he tweeted he was scared for his life that’s why he did it! Please just like someone said if he was so afraid call the police! So sneaky and disrespectful!
I never cussed a day in my life until my grown son disrespected me like no other... I cussed him out and kept stepping. Some kids nowadays will take you to another level. Kirk is not a god AND he never claimed to be perfect... it is what it is
Yes! They will...I have two beautiful daughters 41 & 34 I think God I've never had any trouble out of them. My oldest daughter has been working for 20 years MS. FCC my baby girl is a NP I'm so proud of them. I have 5 grandchildren and a great-grandson but my oldest grandson 21 he's so disrespectful he talks to his mother any kind of way. I have 3 other grands 14, 11, &14 you can't tell them anything..
Kirk you did nothing wrong were on the outside looking in. We don't know what your son has put you through. All we heard was the breaking point that children bring us too. Love you.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
43 years old????? U shoulda cut him off 25 years ago.......what u waitin on? The ninja will have social security by the time u figure it out......🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 He's grown let him be grown on his own........🦁
My brother is 41, hasn't worked in 14 years and still lives at home with my mom. He went to college for a year or two but dropped out and then several years later, he quit his job and hasn't worked since then. If we (my other brother, our mom or myself) tell him anything about getting a job or finishing college, he gets an attitude. Now me, nor my other brother, try to help him or tell him anything about gutting himself together because my mom will get an attitude with us for telling him anything. She takes up, make excuses and enables him which is why he's like this in the first place. She also doesn't want any other family members to know this so she lies to them and acts like he is doing as good as me and my other brother are doing. So I told my other brother to let the chips fall where they may and just let him be. With no job experience in 14 years, no money saved, no bank account, no friends and a bad attitude towards his family (the only people who have helped him along the way), karma will get him. He will know how it feels to be treated like crap when he eventually has no choice except to work because bosses and coworkers won't tolerate the things that my mom does with him. They will have no problem telling him off or getting an attitude with him. It will be like a very hard slap in the face/jolt to the system to have to learn how to keep a job, keep a cool head, pay bills, cook for himself and just maintain on a daily as an older person who's never done this before. But that's the only thing you can do in situations like this........let them learn the hard way how they should've shown more respect to those who truly tried to help them along the way and how they should've gotten themselves together when they were younger and had a chance. Karma is the ultimate equalizer and I clearly see how hard he will have it. Then he'll want help from his siblings but we are not our mom and will not be there to further enable him like she has.
@@mcole442 My mom is an enabler for my 41 year old brother so sometimes parents create their own monster. Then they act like they don't understand why that child can't get it together. You can read my comment above about the situation if you'd like. But overall, people like my brother, Kirk's son, Rickey Smiley's kids/nephews, etc. will learn the hard way down the line. Karma has a way of being a boomerang that can't be avoided. Eventually, all of that attitude, mooching, using and not showing respect will bite them hard in the ass.
People need to realize that gospel artists LOVE the Lord....they AREN'T the Lord themselves. Give the man a break. I'm a teacher of teenagers, so I absolutely know kids can make you lose your temper and your job. lol
I love my son regrettably said a curse word or two but I wanted him to do better we should show Grace just as our Lord and Savior does . GOD bless you Kirk God still loves you.
Absolutely powerful Rickey. I don't have children, but I've raised 5 children from young ages and they know I would do anything for them, but you will not DISRESPECT me and I you everything that you need. Praying for Kirk and his family🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
A man would find it easy to walk away from their child! I dont give a dam what me and mine go thru. Get mad, stretch ya ass then give me a kiss on the chic BECAUSE IM YOUR MOTHER AND YOUR MY SON! I'LL NEVER TURN MY BACK!
@Zoe 1221 no that's not the problem with US black women, SPEAK FOR YOURSELF! Yall speak of be in a problematic why so often then complain about how we are viewed so negatively by others! 2NDLY, me loving my children unconditionally is not me being walked over! SEEK PROFESSIONAL HELP!
He shouldn't apologize because when someone recording a conversation...they are normally being sneaky and manipulative...because they control the narrative.
Rick, that was so well articulated. There are so many good parents, that get disrespected by their grown child or children. He who has never cussed...???
I have a 16 years old daughter in my home. I have been through hell and back with her. She try to disrespect and fight me and I called the police to remove her from my home and I have no regrets or apology. Parents have rights too. Its about time parents let take authority. I am praying for you and your family Kirk.
The fact that he is a damn grown man, and orchestrated this crap, Kirk doesn't need to apologize, this is the end of the road for his gravy train. And put some more curses on that! God bless you Kirk!
I'm so glad to hear this level of common sense extended to him being HUMAN.. yes..he's a man of God.. but he's a MAN first. Let's pray for reconciliation for this family.
Say that. He'll be like my sister standing at the hospital bed, not seeing our Mother the last 11 years of her life. Momma cut her off, she said enough and went on to lived, blocked her #!
Amen, Kirk is human and sometimes a parent has to be real with their children. His fans will not cancel him. Let’s pray for him and his family and God will do the rest. 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Thank you Rickey. Your comments are on target--Kirk did not need to apologize. Most of us have children that are grown and we are in very similar circumstances. We all pray for divine intervention with our children-many grown at that. We are all human. We support Kirk and family as well as Rickey.
@@cynthiajenkins6425 did you ever think its a reason his son acts the way he acts towards his dad. Rickey can't say for a fact that kirk was the best father on earth. It's funny how it has came out that he molested his son yet no one is addressing it. Where is Rickey smiley video about that??? Kirk hasn't said anything. Kerrions mother did a interview and she knows something happened between them but everyone praises him smgh
I so agree . His son is going to ultimately be the one who pays for this total lack of disrespect and this bad move of recording and releasing this audio of his father.
Thank you!!! When I had to go there with my only daughter..... I told her, "I'm going to put you in the best and only hands, me as your mother, will put you in." God keep that very issue before her. For any parent, try it any see how that works out for they grown ASS🙏🏽.
Here's an individual who had everything and was giving every opportunity. He's 30, give me break. Get up off your behind and make a way for yourself. Your Dad done his part, "MAN UP"!!
@@SirWalrusButt556 sure ....this microwave generation,feel as though they deserve everything quickly.....so it can be posted to social media....much more,but some sensitive millenial will be here shortly to berate me....as disrespect is one of the foremost traits.
Yes they're and if they knew what the 70s was like sugar sandwich 🥪 like my brothers and sisters knew! They would be saying hallelujah and praise the Lord 🙏 they get to order out we didn't know what that was, thank you Jesus for being born back in the day,you appreciate life more and have more respect for your elders,
I think he apologizes just out of respect to us, and us having to hear him swear in such a public display, that should have remained private. it's out of character for him. I think it was just for respect for us. God bless
Yeah I believe that's what he did too. Everyday ant peaches and as a christian myself, ppl refuse to understand that we are human too and that ppl will try u and sometimes u too will go there with them...I know I'm guilty! Sometimes u have just had enough of someone's mouth...
Why should he apologize “out of respect to us” that was supposed to have been a private conversation with him and his son...it had no business being leaked to the world, it was behind closed doors not in a public place. He is human and so are we, God forgives not Us.
Thank you Brother, I stand up as a mother who has a child like Pastor Franklin's son. Let us all stand behind Pastor and family and support this man of God during this hurtful time in his life!
There it is!! Sign of the times. This world is changing & its not good. Hate is growing by the second and so many children are so disrespectful that you just don't want to be in their presence. Some parents are too "friendly" with their children and then there are some no matter how great of a parent you are, they turn out to be horrible. I saw this posted yesterday, "Karma is the REAL GANGSTA & you cant hide from Him"
Not in my house nor is it in a lot of other household that I know of. Quit entertaining the world for worldly things and entertain God for Godly things and you want have that problem. God doesn't respect what the ol kirk stands for in this ministry. All that shaking and popping your fingers. Yall better come on back th Bible or a lot more of you gonna be disrespected by your chillins.lol
We don't realize the efforts and struggles parents go thru to keep their black children safe and SOUND until we have children of our own and those children grow up. Keep your head up parents!
I know its real, my son have threatened me and cursed me out many of times and I made so many sacrifice to raise him right!!! To God be the Glory we're in a good place right now!!!
Kirk Franklin does not owe apology. His son brought him to his breaking point. He is human we all have fallen or will clearly he tried many years to keep this private. His son recorded the conversation to be mean.
In a way, I'm glad that this happened to Kirk. No, I'm not happy that he's going through it with his son but what I mean is that I'm relieved to know that so many others are going through these situations on a daily. I don't feel alone and can vent knowing others are in similar situations. Your son is 24 so you still have time to do what my mom should have done. And that is........cuss him out and put him out (that is, of he's still living with you). Out of the 3 of us, my 41 year old brother is still acting like a spoiled, entitled, bra. He hasn't worked in 14 years, dropped out of college, quite his job and lives at home with our mom. He will get an attitude with her if she asks him to do certain things like pick up branches that fall from the tree or if she doesn't bring him a snack he likes when she goes grocery shopping. Plus, is she mentions anything about a job, he'll walk off or start sighing loudly to let her know that he doesn't want to hear it. But she enables him to be this way so me and my other brother just let them be. Eventually, karma will come for my mom for showing favoritism towards him and it will come to him for being disrespectful and mooching all of these years.
Disrespectful children don't deserve an apology from their parents, not ever; after they have temporarily lost their minds speaking to their parents that way. Talk to them Rickey!
Sir, You touched my Soul with this message and on the air. I raised a step child that turned on me after her father had an affair on me and ripped our family apart. I raised her for 15yrs. Some of these kids are so disrespectful and unappreciative. They aren't entitled to shit! Thank you Mr. Rickie Smiley and Mr Steve Harvey for supporting Kirk Franklin.
If anything, it helps me realize I am not alone. It’s easy to say parenting is a thankless job when they are little. I think we expect subconsciously that our kids will have some sense of respect, at least, as an adult. We know it will not be perfect. But to have our own demolish us, that’s a goes little beyond “thank less”. That’s a new saying “parenting is a high risk job to your career, relationships, and mental stability”
@@aledwardssr.9651 But hes in a position of accountability he is not just any body so he has a different standard to live by. If he is human he needs to take that maneness to Jesus, Jesus came to set him free.
If this ever happened in Africa, this young man would have been disciplined by the village men ,and taken for prayers by the local pastor to come to his senses and make his own money.
Praying for Kirk and the family. Nobody can make you lose it like a child who has become an adult and looking for someone to blame because of his/her failures.
The son was being intentionally hurtful. He never counted all the times in his life his father said yes. He probably said no once and all the yesses were forgotten. His son should be ashamed. Love you Curt... I support you.
@@BernardTies no I’m not. And I don’t know anything matter of factly. However, what I know for sure and so do you is that this young man recorded a private conversation with his father and publicized it. He exposed his family issues to the world bringing shame on his father and their family. And for that I say UNACCEPTABLE! He’s 33 and he knows that there is a better way to handle the situation and to protect the privacy and the dignity of his family. Period.
@ThxGod It'sOver I noticed you are throwing the same scriptures at these folks comments. Well the scripture also says in, Romans 3:10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one. Romans 3:23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.
That right Rickey he didn’t need to apologize! Kirk apologize because he is a public figure and out of respect for the public he did his due diligence!! That’s it that’s all.
I'm so sick of people acting like they've never been through something with their children!
@Teresa Craig or what they have been through as a child.
Sat that! 💕
@@melaniejohnson9925 that is not the topic of conversation for me.
True
lol ! ! ! . . . yes
Kirk never confessed that he was perfect but only confessed that he serve a Perfect God
AMEN TO THAT
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Right! This the one!
Absolutely! ❤️❤️❤️
Amen🙏🏾
I have told my kids the moment that they are “grown” enough to disrespect me or their Mama it’s time for them to go & be grown on their own! They forfeit all of our assistance because grown folks take care of themselves!
PERIOD! That’s what my parents told me one time I LOOKED at them sideways!
YES YES YES.
All children have a moment. The put the toe on the line. But THIS position right here is what determines how that child will follow-through. My parents told me this. And I told my kids.
Facts
Bingo........🦁
I'm a mother of 4 grown children, a son and 3 daughters and I will say that I've been there a time or two. It hurts you as a parent to go there with your child. I felt Kirk's emotions and it just hurt my heart. Rickey, I appreciate your honesty, and all that you do and have done for others. Some are just thankful that someone did something for them and some no matter how much you do , it's never enough. Prayers for us all it's a tough job being parents. Love from TN
Kirk, stand firm as the godly father you are. We’re all going through our issues with our grown kids who think they can show such disrespect to parent, commit them back to the lord’s hands and he will take care of them, love
Amen💗💖
Been there too with my daughter, when she was 19 years old.
He is as human as can be. The emotiins we see cannot be fake. He cares about his son but everyone gets to their breaking point.
Totally 👍
As a single mother who got royally cussed the fuck out by the child that everyone said I spoiled...that kind of anger is hard to control instantly in the moment. I relate to Kirk Franklin and Im sending the Franklins prayers.
D Halsey ...
I feel you.
Mine did all that.. guess what she still has her teeth. I am a minister but try me if you want.
May God help you and your family. Keep ❤️.
As a parent we’ve been there when we’ve giving them everything.
I have been told 3 times this week that my son is in here calling me bitches and stepping in my face because I spoiled him. His anger is out of control and I have tried everything. I aint kissing no ass that still got afterburner on his damn lips. Im over these kids. You want a hard knock that get it out the mud life you got it. This touch so close to home.
At 30 yrs old, you couldn't come back in my house after this. This is a grown man trying to hurt his father!✌🏾✌🏾✌🏾
You are so right!!! His name goes out of my Will as well. Period!!!!
Agreed!! I’m sure he’s had help from his dad and the minute Kirk said no - he has a temper tantrum!! 33 years old!!

Thank you, Ricky for posting this! Thank you for supporting him! No one has the right to throw stones in our glass houses! Our children can try us! I would NOT have apologized to anyone! Kirk doesn't owe anyone an apology.
Last I checked blaspheming the name of the Lord is an extraordinary heinous sin. You need to check if you really redeemed if you think that’s okay....
His son is a grown man, he got handled accordingly. You never know the amount of hurt a child of yours can inflict on you, by disrespecting you, until you have a child that does. It's an unimaginable feeling.
You are ABSOLUTELY correct. Been there!
Yes , yes, yes!!!!
@@ANGELSLVME SO TRUE. ONLY PARENTS THAT CARE , UNDERSTAND
unimagineable feeling.... :(
An unimaginable feeling when being disrespected by ungrateful kids...it is painful 🙃
No, Kirk didn't need to apologize, "he's human" and "he's a Father"
Exactly I agree
Kirk making to much money off the gospel community! He doesn't want to lose any jobs
He's a dad there's only one FATHER and this is who he needs to apologize too. Keep loving your son kirk no need to explain to this worldly people!!!! We love Mr. Franklin and his son!!!😍
I think it was best for him to. He has a platform & if he didn't; he would give the media time to create lies. Kirk was able to speak out and control the narrative.
I agree with Ricky.
The current culture trying to emasculate men, especially black men, trying to cancel the God given authority of parents, trying to spit in their parents face or whatever, disrespecting them with this crazy sense of entitlement...ENTITLEMENT B.S.
I'm gonna stop right here.
Because this is ridiculous...doing this to caring parents.

Nobody...NO...BODY can push your buttons like your kids can. Praying for both father and son

@@eternal5024 no it doesn't. That's what's wrong with youngsters these days. Too many white people in ya ear

@@romishafranks so in your mind it's impossible for a parent to push your buttons. Sounds like u think becoming a parent makes you infallible. This is the beginning of slavery. And no, common sense is in my mind ear and mind. No white people needed for that one.
I heard Kirk cussed his son out and I didn't even bother to listen to the tape. I was like "And?" Kids can push you right over the edge at times. Nobody is perfect and sometimes they need to be cussed out. Especially those that only contact you when they want something.
How do you spell EXCATLY !!! Think I'm some damn Robot, I'm a real mother, I'll snuff your rotten behind. And nobody will even know. That's how REAL MOTHERS LOVE !!! Lol...
@sn tg I like your comment 💯 amen and amen 🙏🏿😇
By the time a man realizes his father was right he usually has a son who thinks he’s wrong . I’m with you Kirk. Wait until he has kids.
@ Charles Irvin you said it 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾; his karma will come when he has his own children
What goes around comes around.. What he's doing to his father his son will do to him DOUBLE!!
@Charles Irvin
@Charles Irvin No truer words have ever been spoken 💪🏾💪🏾
Exactly..... couldn’t have said it any better 👌🏾
The fact that his son recorded that lets you know that he had every intention to provoke that cursing out. I ain’t mad at him at all. People try to look at Gospel singers as God when they’re only human just like us 🤷🏽♀️
But the world is so backwards if it wasn't the son would have known he was going to get ripped. But he know the world is backwards that's y he can post nonsense.
Definitely provoked
You are so right
Entire facts!!
Cut off money and stop paying his bills. He will need Kirk before Kirk need him.
‼‼‼
Exactly. I will block my son in a minute and cut off all financial help. It humbles him every time and reminds him that he’s not running his program in my home. My love and support are always there for him, but his has to evolve to a level of maturity that align with God’s will for our lives.
Amen
Yep, Let these young people learned the hard way.
Exactly, he is 33. He need to be on his own anyway.
It is a blessing to see you speak with support on Mr. Franklin’s unfortunate situation with his son. An apology from him is completely unnecessary. His son needs counseling for his behavior and he should apologize to his father for being an unfaithful son. I’m praying for their healing.🌺
Amen
Kids don’t understand until they become parents. After my first kid went to college, I called and apologized to my parents. Children will never understand the sacrifice until they become parents.
Thank you beloved. Parenting is work love.
FACTS!!
Truth cause baby being a Adult is hard man and pass the same lessons my parents gave me with tiny adjustments for the times 🙏🙏💪
I apologized to my parents too. As a matter of fact, I still do it from time to time. I really appreciate them now and am very sorry for all I put them through
But he a GROWN MAN!!!
I stand with Kirk. He's human and he's tired of the manipulation.
It’s the disrespect more than anything else.
Exactly!
Thats exactly what it is sister. They will manipulate u untill they can't get no mo outta u
That's why God say he forgive 🙏 them who have sin guess 🙄 some people forgot one should not judge also 🤔 piece and love 💘 God Bless and be safe ♥ 🙏 😊
I don't think he owes Noone an apology.I have a child like that and is disrespectful.We don't no what he did before he started recording.
Pray for them and let them be. Sometimes that's all you can do,
I agree.
@ThxGod It'sOver repent for what? His grown son recorded him without hos permission and edited his part to make Kirk Franklin look like the bad guy. Thus grown boy need to repent himself. He is lucky that is all he got. Just because Kirk is a Christian does not mean he won't be tested by unruly kids like his son.
Exactly, he didn’t just start cussin him out for no reason. I said on another vid, if it was MY father, he would’ve kicked the lining outta my brother’s a$$, and wouldn’t have lost a second’s sleep about it.

You just been expired to figure it out
I can appreciate him apologizing to the Christian community BUT he doesn't owe anyone BUT God.
I agree
Yes he does owe the Christian community an apology if he feels or the mass majority feels that he has offered them through his action, he should repent and ask them for forgiveness its biblical and there's nothing wrong with apologizing, it shows strength of character.
THE CHRISTIAN COMMUNITY‼️‼️‼️THEY'RE NOT GOD SO WHYYYY'D YOU STRESS THAT FACT ⁉️ IN MYYY OPINION THE ONLY PERSON HE SHOULD'VE APOLOGIZED TO WAS HIS SON WHICH HE ABSOLUTELY DID NOT ‼️
@@colorpurple4623 show me that in Scripture. His son never should have post this in social media in the first place. That conversation was for his ears and his ears only.

I'm a black mother and when you love a adult child that's going in the wrong direction, you can talk to them like an adult and cursing maybe involved. Entitlement is REAL, SMDH
On a personal note Kirk Franklin's first cd is still my #1 gospel cds of all time
I can’t believe his son is 33 years old talking to his dad like that! I’d never! People are quick to say don’t beat your kids but that’s what happens when you don’t.

Me too. What's the big deal. So now kids gonna record them getting disciplined by their parents. N ppl gonna say oh my gosh apologize to your child for cursing them out, because the child hit the principal.
They stone them to death in the bible.

You don't judge anyone and you talking like this shows your belief in God/Jesus Christ. I follows God/Jesus Christ and one main thing you don't Judge.

Absolutely sister. We call ourselves Christian's but are NOTHING LIJE CHRIST. SHAMEFUL
I'm in my 30s and my parents are in their 60s. My parents have never had to speak to me that way. And we need to appreciate the sacrifices our parents made, even if they made mistakes, no one is perfect. And we have to forgive them for their mistakes, if we want to be forgiven.

AN APOLOGY MAY NOT BE NECESSARY, BUT IT IS ONE OF THE GREATEST FORM OF HUMILITY.
IT SOOTHES AND HEALS.
Kirk cursed his son out, Kirk apologized for it....Kirk owned everything he did and how he felt he should have handled it. Now if anything, if Kirk' s son followed in his Dad's doorsteps...this situation wouldn't be a topic of conversation. I applaud Kirk for being what many men need to do, step up to the plate and be a father, but then again that's what real men do. I heard Rocky Smiley just say "blood thicker than water" but he didn't leave it at that, Ricky spoke on disrespect. My great grandmother put it this way, "blood maybe thicker than water, but sometimes you may need to thin it".

Listen, praying for Kirk. If his son was worth anything we never would have heard about this situation. For him to get this mad his son crossed the line.
Yeah it is the son’s fault. Parents are allowed to curse and treat their kids how they want. How dare his son out him to how he treats him in private. Matter a fact let me tell my daughter she’s a b*tch because she made me mad today.
The thing about it is the Messenger exposed the message. You know the saying, "Don't blame the messenger!"
They each need to come under their own conscience and conviction. It was the embarrassing fact that this was done publicly and not as between God and man; in secret. I say if somebody's gonna tell it. Tell on yourself.
@@deborahsmith8925 what's done in the dark.....kirk should know this by now!
Mannn, I wished my dad gave me a car and sent me to college when I was 18. Instead he told me the same bullshit baby boomers do, "your a man now. Get out and get ur own place.?" At 18 years old!!!! I'm 45 now. Those years in my 20s were very hard. So it pisses me off when I hear stories of selfish spoiled boys behaving this way towards their dads
I feel your pain and know it must've been hard for a good portion of your life. This is kind of long but I wish that my parents had been like your dad was because my brother is 41 and has nothing going for himself, including no job in 14 years......YES 14 YEARS. I have another brother also and we are both doing fine and have tried getting the other one to man-up but it's a waste of energy. I told him to just let him be and let the chips and karma fall wherever. He was given the opportunity to go to college like we were but he dropped out after a couple of semesters. Then quit his job years later and hasn't worked since then. He's bad with money (never had money saved, never maintained a bank account and never paid bills), no friends and a bad attitude if we bring up the word JOB to him. He also gets an attitude with my mom if she asks him to do certain things. But she acts like his situation is no big deal and even lies to family and friends if they ask about him. She makes it seem like he's doing as good as me and my other brother. I'm not bragging about how the two of us are doing because, trust me, we struggled to get what we have now. However, we took advantage of the opportunity to graduate from college, work and live at home for a while after graduating to save money and prepare for dealing with the harsh world. But my brother chooses to just mooch while my mom lets him. My parents divorced when we were young and my dad moved across the country a few years after it was finalized. He really didn't spend time or discipline him at all so it was all on my mom. But I feel like my brother is the type that needed someone like your dad in his life because look at how he turned out. My mom has enabled him into a 41 year old 10 year old. Matter of fact, some 10 year olds are doing mich better than him and don't have bratty, spoiled, entitled attitudes like my brother does. So maybe your dad was trying to avoid you turning out like this and this is the only way that he knew how to do it. Imagine if you were 45 and in my brother's situation. 😔
Not all baby-boomers were selfish fools!♡
@@moonsyoungestsun6550 couldn't have imagined that because i had career goals since 15. Thats a shame your bro is like that and ur mom also enables it.

Also at the end of the day, 18 or not...once ur out in that world, every decision falls on you. Can't go through life blaming my folks for my failures.
That's the difference between me and unlike Mr 33 year old Son of Kirk Franlikn

Kirk is probably tired of his son and vice versa, you can try and try. People are who they are, some don't feel the need to change. We have to turn family lose just like anyone else.
That’s what I say🙏🏾 for the Franklin family
I totally agree Rickey he was having a private conversation with his son that got railroaded by a disrespectful son that got publicized without his knowledge. He was trying to show his dad to the world and really it backfired to me because he showed how sneaky he was to show his dad in his most vulnerable time. Praying for Kirk and his family.
The fact that his son has been pulling these stunts since 2018 and NOT ONCE has Kirk spoken about it....says to me Kerrion has a hidden agenda going on. The Bible says that sons will rise up against fathers and daughters against mothers. This is a prime example of that. For him to even record that conversation unbeknownst to Kirk was a kid move to get his dad’s attention, and he got more than what he bargained for. It’s sad....
So Abused kids exposing abuse is SNEAKY?
The he tweeted he was scared for his life that’s why he did it! Please just like someone said if he was so afraid call the police! So sneaky and disrespectful!

He's grown let him be grown on his own........🦁
My brother is 41, hasn't worked in 14 years and still lives at home with my mom. He went to college for a year or two but dropped out and then several years later, he quit his job and hasn't worked since then. If we (my other brother, our mom or myself) tell him anything about getting a job or finishing college, he gets an attitude. Now me, nor my other brother, try to help him or tell him anything about gutting himself together because my mom will get an attitude with us for telling him anything. She takes up, make excuses and enables him which is why he's like this in the first place. She also doesn't want any other family members to know this so she lies to them and acts like he is doing as good as me and my other brother are doing. So I told my other brother to let the chips fall where they may and just let him be. With no job experience in 14 years, no money saved, no bank account, no friends and a bad attitude towards his family (the only people who have helped him along the way), karma will get him. He will know how it feels to be treated like crap when he eventually has no choice except to work because bosses and coworkers won't tolerate the things that my mom does with him. They will have no problem telling him off or getting an attitude with him. It will be like a very hard slap in the face/jolt to the system to have to learn how to keep a job, keep a cool head, pay bills, cook for himself and just maintain on a daily as an older person who's never done this before. But that's the only thing you can do in situations like this........let them learn the hard way how they should've shown more respect to those who truly tried to help them along the way and how they should've gotten themselves together when they were younger and had a chance. Karma is the ultimate equalizer and I clearly see how hard he will have it. Then he'll want help from his siblings but we are not our mom and will not be there to further enable him like she has.
@@mcole442 My mom is an enabler for my 41 year old brother so sometimes parents create their own monster. Then they act like they don't understand why that child can't get it together. You can read my comment above about the situation if you'd like. But overall, people like my brother, Kirk's son, Rickey Smiley's kids/nephews, etc. will learn the hard way down the line. Karma has a way of being a boomerang that can't be avoided. Eventually, all of that attitude, mooching, using and not showing respect will bite them hard in the ass.
How can we break the cycle of ‘enablers’ 🤔
That’s your fault
People need to realize that gospel artists LOVE the Lord....they AREN'T the Lord themselves. Give the man a break. I'm a teacher of teenagers, so I absolutely know kids can make you lose your temper and your job. lol
Hello somebody! They sure will! I say we extend him the same grace God gave US and keep it pushing. Lol
Respect to this man holding his friend and brother down Kirk 🙏🏾💯
I love my son regrettably said a curse word or two but I wanted him to do better we should show Grace just as our Lord and Savior does . GOD bless you Kirk God still loves you.
Absolutely powerful Rickey. I don't have children, but I've raised 5 children from young ages and they know I would do anything for them, but you will not DISRESPECT me and I you everything that you need. Praying for Kirk and his family🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Kirk, don't do another interview. Tell people to mind their business. Stuff happens. We still love you.
“Everybody don’t deserve your presence!” 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
No matter who it is, keep your peace.
Rickey said a Mouthfull there!!
Truth!!!💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
A man would find it easy to walk away from their child! I dont give a dam what me and mine go thru. Get mad, stretch ya ass then give me a kiss on the chic BECAUSE IM YOUR MOTHER AND YOUR MY SON! I'LL NEVER TURN MY BACK!
@Zoe 1221 no that's not the problem with US black women, SPEAK FOR YOURSELF! Yall speak of be in a problematic why so often then complain about how we are viewed so negatively by others! 2NDLY, me loving my children unconditionally is not me being walked over! SEEK PROFESSIONAL HELP!
@Zoe 1221 TO EACH IS OWN! Your degrees mean nothing to me but congratulations that's a big accomplishment. #LiveLaughLive✌
He shouldn't apologize because when someone recording a conversation...they are normally being sneaky and manipulative...because they control the narrative.
Exactly!
WELL, WHETHER HE "CONTROLLED", THE NARRATIVE OR NOT, HIS NARROW BEHIND, WOULD HAVE BEEN TAKING A VERY LONG INVOLUNTARY NAP! 🤔🤘🤔
My father called me a Bitch and he was right I was one but HE made me stronger
No they are tryna show the truth.
@@bosslady6366 😂😂😂 Most definitely!
Rick, that was so well articulated. There are so many good parents, that get disrespected by their grown child or children. He who has never cussed...???
"Sometimes you have a son, but damn, when he get 30... they're a grown man that happens to be your son." - Rickey Smiley
Think he means you have to now engage like adults but still keep in mind this yo child/parent
Do let that boy get him all out of character don’t feel bad at all for his son he nothing but a spoiled brat
I know EXACTLY WHAT HE MEANS
🔥🔥🔥🔥
felt that
I have a 16 years old daughter in my home. I have been through hell and back with her. She try to disrespect and fight me and I called the police to remove her from my home and I have no regrets or apology. Parents have rights too. Its about time parents let take authority. I am praying for you and your family Kirk.
My daughter mumbled on me too. I did everything I could. She was horrible. But when I had a stroke she was there
Keep praying
The fact that he is a damn grown man, and orchestrated this crap, Kirk doesn't need to apologize, this is the end of the road for his gravy train. And put some more curses on that! God bless you Kirk!
Preach
Thanks Rickey for speaking the truth on Kirk’s behalf. He has just had enough with this son. He knew what he was doing to his father. God bless you.
I'm so glad to hear this level of common sense extended to him being HUMAN.. yes..he's a man of God.. but he's a MAN first. Let's pray for reconciliation for this family.
His son will reap what he sow when he becomes a father of a 33 year old son. That foolishness boomerangs eventually.
Everytime!!!
True dat 🤯
It sure does...#facts don't Lie
Agreed
Say that. He'll be like my sister standing at the hospital bed, not seeing our Mother the last 11 years of her life. Momma cut her off, she said enough and went on to lived, blocked her #!
Amen, Kirk is human and sometimes a parent has to be real with their children. His fans will not cancel him. Let’s pray for him and his family and God will do the rest. 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Thank you Rickey. Your comments are on target--Kirk did not need to apologize. Most of us have children that are grown and we are in very similar circumstances.
We all pray for divine intervention with our children-many grown at that. We are all human. We support Kirk and family as well as Rickey.
@@cynthiajenkins6425 did you ever think its a reason his son acts the way he acts towards his dad. Rickey can't say for a fact that kirk was the best father on earth. It's funny how it has came out that he molested his son yet no one is addressing it. Where is Rickey smiley video about that??? Kirk hasn't said anything. Kerrions mother did a interview and she knows something happened between them but everyone praises him smgh
He didn't beat his son, he cursed him out. whoopty Doo!
Kirk owe us no apology. This will back fire on his son.
Yes
👍
Especially if he did it with malicious intent. I agree with you
I do agree!
I so agree . His son is going to ultimately be the one who pays for this total lack of disrespect and this bad move of recording and releasing this audio of his father.
My grandma use to say"I'm gonna leave you in the hands of the Lord..
THEY SURELY DON'T WANT THAT SMOKE!♡
Thank you!!! When I had to go there with my only daughter..... I told her, "I'm going to put you in the best and only hands, me as your mother, will put you in." God keep that very issue before her. For any parent, try it any see how that works out for they grown ASS🙏🏽.
@@simone4233 I just went through this & yes God showed up immediately. His wrath if mighty, can't touch that!
Here's an individual who had everything and was giving every opportunity. He's 30, give me break. Get up off your behind and make a way for yourself. Your Dad done his part, "MAN UP"!!
He's 33yrs old which makes it worse
I ain't even mad at Kirk.These last few generations are a challenge.
Can you explain why they are a challenge? Who raised them? Or failed to raise them?
@@SirWalrusButt556 sure ....this microwave generation,feel as though they deserve everything quickly.....so it can be posted to social media....much more,but some sensitive millenial will be here shortly to berate me....as disrespect is one of the foremost traits.
Yes they're and if they knew what the 70s was like sugar sandwich 🥪 like my brothers and sisters knew! They would be saying hallelujah and praise the Lord 🙏 they get to order out we didn't know what that was, thank you Jesus for being born back in the day,you appreciate life more and have more respect for your elders,
I think he apologizes just out of respect to us, and us having to hear him swear in such a public display, that should have remained private. it's out of character for him. I think it was just for respect for us. God bless
👍
Yeah I believe that's what he did too. Everyday ant peaches and as a christian myself, ppl refuse to understand that we are human too and that ppl will try u and sometimes u too will go there with them...I know I'm guilty! Sometimes u have just had enough of someone's mouth...
Why should he apologize “out of respect to us” that was supposed to have been a private conversation with him and his son...it had no business being leaked to the world, it was behind closed doors not in a public place. He is human and so are we, God forgives not Us.
It is his character otherwise it would not have went that way
Parental responsibility ends at 18, everything else is icing and pure love. The owe part is over!
Truth💯
The negative attacks on the black Male image is overwhelming. Thanks for speaking up Rickey. 👍🏿
Thank you Brother, I stand up as a mother who has a child like Pastor Franklin's son. Let us all stand behind Pastor and family and support this man of God during this hurtful time in his life!
Praying for Kirk Franklin and his family in his time of despair.
The devil is like a roaring lion, seeking who he can destroy. Sons against fathers, daughters against mothers. This is the times we are living in.
Yes
Amen these kids just don't know
There it is!! Sign of the times. This world is changing & its not good. Hate is growing by the second and so many children are so disrespectful that you just don't want to be in their presence. Some parents are too "friendly" with their children and then there are some no matter how great of a parent you are, they turn out to be horrible. I saw this posted yesterday, "Karma is the REAL GANGSTA & you cant hide from Him"
So true
Not in my house nor is it in a lot of other household that I know of. Quit entertaining the world for worldly things and entertain God for Godly things and you want have that problem. God doesn't respect what the ol kirk stands for in this ministry. All that shaking and popping your fingers. Yall better come on back th Bible or a lot more of you gonna be disrespected by your chillins.lol
We don't realize the efforts and struggles parents go thru to keep their black children safe and SOUND until we have children of our own and those children grow up. Keep your head up parents!
I know its real, my son have threatened me and cursed me out many of times and I made so many sacrifice to raise him right!!! To God be the Glory we're in a good place right now!!!
Kirk Franklin does not owe apology. His son brought him to his breaking point. He is human we all have fallen or will clearly he tried many years to keep this private.
His son recorded the conversation to be mean.
And you know you're right Amen to that
Understand both sides of the story..
I been on both sides
Rickey - My 24 old year son called me Stupid over a bottle water that I didn’t drink!!! Heart Breaking! I am a single mother!
In a way, I'm glad that this happened to Kirk. No, I'm not happy that he's going through it with his son but what I mean is that I'm relieved to know that so many others are going through these situations on a daily. I don't feel alone and can vent knowing others are in similar situations. Your son is 24 so you still have time to do what my mom should have done. And that is........cuss him out and put him out (that is, of he's still living with you). Out of the 3 of us, my 41 year old brother is still acting like a spoiled, entitled, bra. He hasn't worked in 14 years, dropped out of college, quite his job and lives at home with our mom. He will get an attitude with her if she asks him to do certain things like pick up branches that fall from the tree or if she doesn't bring him a snack he likes when she goes grocery shopping. Plus, is she mentions anything about a job, he'll walk off or start sighing loudly to let her know that he doesn't want to hear it. But she enables him to be this way so me and my other brother just let them be. Eventually, karma will come for my mom for showing favoritism towards him and it will come to him for being disrespectful and mooching all of these years.
Disrespectful children don't deserve an apology from their parents, not ever; after they have temporarily lost their minds speaking to their parents that way. Talk to them Rickey!
Kirk is human his son is 33 years old - he had every right to push back
Sir, You touched my Soul with this message and on the air. I raised a step child that turned on me after her father had an affair on me and ripped our family apart. I raised her for 15yrs. Some of these kids are so disrespectful and unappreciative. They aren't entitled to shit! Thank you Mr. Rickie Smiley and Mr Steve Harvey for supporting Kirk Franklin.
If anything, it helps me realize I am not alone. It’s easy to say parenting is a thankless job when they are little. I think we expect subconsciously that our kids will have some sense of respect,
at least, as an adult.
We know it will not be perfect.
But to have our own demolish us, that’s a goes little beyond “thank less”.
That’s a new saying
“parenting is a high risk job to your career, relationships, and mental stability”
If Kirk wasn't famous, we would've never heard this conversation.
His Son should be ashamed of himself
Some people act like they never heard a curse word. This happens in life. Do a lot of us apologize for things we say or do? TAKE A SEAT!!
Right on, hes human also.
@@aledwardssr.9651 But hes in a position of accountability he is not just any body so he has a different standard to live by. If he is human he needs to take that maneness to Jesus, Jesus came to set him free.
@@aledwardssr.9651 people need to mind their business...St Peter Cursed all the time. Even jesus got wild in the Temple.

@@bernadettesemple9301 🗣
His son doesn’t want therapy he wants to be able to floss and stunt on social media with his fathers money
Exactly
Boon! There it is. This wasn't even a kid, he's so grown that I was plotting retirement at his age.
If this ever happened in Africa, this young man would have been disciplined by the village men ,and taken for prayers by the local pastor to come to his senses and make his own money.
Ya don’t even know him 😂😂😂😂
That part!!!!!
My dad would've said this: "I brought you in this world and I'll take you out!" My dad never tolerated disrespect! Period!!!
James Brown- Papa don't take no mess
Praying for Kirk and the family. Nobody can make you lose it like a child who has become an adult and looking for someone to blame because of his/her failures.
Let's do the opposite of what his son intended. Instead, let's go give likes to Kirk Franklin's music and bring positive attention to Kirk.
Exactly 💯
Uplift kirk. I'm so glad that this dad letting his son know he is going to restore order in his home.
When a child go against their parents (father) they are going against God! Have mercy on that young man!
Yes
The son was being intentionally hurtful. He never counted all the times in his life his father said yes. He probably said no once and all the yesses were forgotten. His son should be ashamed. Love you Curt... I support you.
Me Too I Stand With Mr. Franklin... Be Bless 🙌
Not true its been cut off for many years
How do you know?? Are you part of there family?
@@BernardTies no I’m not. And I don’t know anything matter of factly. However, what I know for sure and so do you is that this young man recorded a private conversation with his father and publicized it. He exposed his family issues to the world bringing shame on his father and their family. And for that I say UNACCEPTABLE! He’s 33 and he knows that there is a better way to handle the situation and to protect the privacy and the dignity of his family. Period.
@@tomekamontegue5122 sure👍🏾
Kirk is human like everyone else. He is still a man of honor and should be respected as such. 🙏🏽😇
@ThxGod It'sOver I noticed you are throwing the same scriptures at these folks comments. Well the scripture also says in, Romans 3:10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one. Romans 3:23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.
That right Rickey he didn’t need to apologize! Kirk apologize because he is a public figure and out of respect for the public he did his due diligence!! That’s it that’s all.
