Kirk Franklin meets his biological father at 53 and shouts, this man lives down the street from my studio!!!
The blessing! The “Melodies From Heaven” singer acknowledged the situation in a 35-minute YouTube video titled “Father’s Day: A Kirk Franklin Story,” which premiered today!
He shared that — at a family funeral in April 2023, which he didn’t attend — word got out about an attendee named Richard Hubbard previously dating Kirk’s biological mother. Rumors subsequently circulated that he may be Kirk’s biological father, prompting them to complete a DNA test. Franklin noted that, since he’s been open and honest about being adopted, he’s had plenty of people claim to be his father, though this time was different. Hope and pray that everything works out for Kirk, some people go thru their entire life and never meet a missing parent. My mind still wonder, how can you go thru life and never check on a seed that you brought into this world, that still amazes me.
