Kirk Franklin’s Son Kerrion Reportedly Arrested In Connection To Missing Person Case

Kerrion Franklin, son of Grammy award-winning Gospel artist Kirk Franklin, was arrested Sunday morning in Beverly Hills. 

According to court documents obtained by Radar Online, the 33-year old was booked into a L.A. jail at 10:28 a.m. He is being held without bond.

Larry Reid Live says his team spoke to Kerrion from jail who said he was “wrongfully arrested and stopped because of his taillight.”

Kerrion states that he can’t get out of jail until his next hearing Tuesday. He told the outlet that the police allegedly found a gun in his car.

According to the report, Kerrion told police that the gun they found didn’t belong to him. It was also discovered that the car he was driving also did not belong to him. The car is said to belong to a woman who has been reported missing and is believed to have been murdered.

He also claimed that he was arrested for resistance arrest–which he denied.

According to reports, Kerrion has to be extradited back to Texas to deal with a separate case.

Kerrion and his father’s relationship has been strained for the past few years. In 2021, Kerrion released an audio recording of him arguing with Kirk. The Gospel singer could be heard calling his son a “b**** a**” and other hostile remarks.

Kirk later apologized for the incident explaining he lost it in the moment. He told his followers, “my son and I had an argument that he chose to record. I felt extremely disrespected in that conversation and I lost my temper and I said words that are not appropriate.”

The singer ended, “I am sincerely sorry to all of you. I sincerely apologize. I want you to know as a father, that during that conversation, I called the family therapist and got that therapist on the phone to try to help. He never played that part of the recording.”

Kerrion is currently a cast member on the new Zeus television show, Bad Boys: Los Angeles.
