Previously, Kirk Franklin’s estranged son Kerrion took to the internet to reveal a call where Kirk Franklin was cursing him out. The clip ended up going viral, with Plies jokingly responding to the matter as well. However, Kerrion notes there is more to the story, as he has accused Kirk Franklin of physical abuse to go along with the verbal abuse.

Kerrion posted a video on Instagram responding to Rickey Smiley, who commented on the situation between him and his father on-air. Kerrion posted the caption, “Let’s dive deeper into the tape since my father won’t post it himself. He has been recording me for many conversations. He has his own files. Let’s talk about why counseling stopped because you caused #Battery i still didn’t press charges and you quit counseling."

Kerrion continued in the caption, saying: “Threatening to beat my a** in front of TMZ too? Call me a liar again and I’ll release more tape. I’m giving you a chance to leave me alone. I said I was done, and here yaw come. Everyone except my family. Now I face the world. I am bringing awareness to #ParentalAbuse this was never about canceling My dad this was never to sabotage his entire career. This was a call to treat me better." Take a look above.
