Kirk Franklin Open Up About His Porn Addiction, Getting a Woman Pregnant At 15 And How He Found God




If you’ve ever listened to any of Kirk Franklin’s albums that were released in 2002 or later, you know that he has an amazing testimony.


The 43-year-old Texas native recently spoke about his troubled upbringing, being addicted to pornography and how being adopted set the stage for his path to promiscuity during an interview with Sway Calloway. Check out some of what he had to say below.


On his challenging upbringing:
“I was adopted by a 64-year-old lady and we were raised in really difficult times. You know, standing in line to get the block cheese, getting the tough jeans. I had a sister that had a real bad drug problem. [She] spent over a decade in prison— prostituion. So, we lived that life and it was a difficult life. I was 15 when my dude got killed and when he got killed is when I got closer to faith. That’s when I really just developed my own relationship with the Lord.”



On getting a woman pregnant at 15 and going to jail:
“At 15 I got a young lady pregnant, dropped out of school. For two years I was sleeping in a car. I kind of got into a little bit of trouble, I had to spend some nights locked down.”
“At 15 I paid for an abortion.”
