Ace Gospel musician, Kirk Franklin, has opened up about significant incidents that occurred in the course of the year 2024.
Reflecting on the past year, he cringed when he reminded himself of some incidents he wishes never occurred.
On December 30,2024, he posted a YouTube video titled “Thank you for a beautiful 24,” where he looked back on his year that was “unlike any other” that he experienced in the past. Experienced during Franklin’s year were two controversial moments, namely his bicep-baring performance in Jamaica, where he wore a tight-fitting tank top, and a playful onstage gyration on Clark Sisters member, Jacky Clark Chisholm during a stop on the Reunion Tour.
Both moments concerned Franklin’s staunchly nonsecular fans, to whom he apologized and provided an explanation around the 6:30-minute mark of the video.

“I am aware now that my choice of attire, which as a team we thought was going to be fine being outside in the weather, was going to be something that would not come across as disrespectful,” the 20-time Grammy winner said about his outfit worn in Jamaica.
Franklin added that he never wants his decisions to make him “reach” a point where he “can’t learn.”
“It doesn’t matter what my goal and intent is; if I’m louder than the message of Jesus, then I failed,” he admitted.
Regarding joking around with Clark Chisholm, Franklin said his “twerking” was “too much,” although those he was onstage with were his friends, who are used to his light-hearted behaviour.
“I shouldn’t have been playing out there in front of y’all,” Franklin shared. “I should have kept that to myself and had fun with them the way I do when we be acting a fool. But sometimes I get on my own nerves. And when I was doing it, it seemed fine. When I saw the clip, yeah, it’s too much.”
Also in the vlog, Franklin revisited his 2024 BET Awards performance with Will Smith and was featured on GloRilla’s debut album, “Glorious.”
