A man confronted Kirk Franklin, repeatedly accusing him of “gaslighting” and demanding he repent, then told him directly that he and his wife would go to hell unless they repented — repeating that line several times. Someone nearby tried to pull people away (“we gotta go”), and the man muttered something as it ended.

This happened after Franklin’s Gospel on Independence concert in Philadelphia was cut short by lightning and he greeted fans from his SUV. When he got out, the man allegedly approached him, and Franklin tried to defuse things — going for a handshake/hug and asking if the man loved God — but the encounter escalated once the man allegedly told Kirk Franklin“you and your wife are going to hell” line came out.Kirk had to be held back by security.
