He also thanks his parents for making him believe in faith from an early age. Kirk and Tammy’s son admits there was that untold pressure on him due to his father’s legacy.

“These were the thoughts I had on a daily basis, and although I knew that they were lies from the enemy, I believed them,” said the young adult in an interview with Voyage Dallas in May 2019.

Back in June 2018, Kirk through his Insta revealed his sister, also Caz’s aunt had received 30 years in prison. While the choir director didn’t tell the rest of the story, he, though, wrote,

“My sister was just sentenced to 30 years in prison. I now feel the weight of wondering if I could’ve done more.”

Although not confirmed, reports say that she was convicted for her involvement in drug trafficking. His half-brother, Kerrion Franklin, who had a rough moment with his father back in March 2021, is an author, producer, and cinematographer. He also happens to be in music and runs his own video-making company, Vimeo.
