Add ARY News on Google AAResize Kirk Franklin had to be held back when a man wished ill on him and his wife, Tammy Collins.

Over the weekend, a man confronted the gospel music legend, and the pair engaged in a heated discussion, with Franklin trying to embrace him to de-escalate the tension. The man turned down his offer to hug and repeatedly told Franklin, “You need to repent.”

It wasn’t until the man told Kirk, “You and your wife are going to go to hell,” that Franklin became mad. At that point, security had to hold him back, and someone told the man to leave. It seems that the argument happened after Franklin’s set at the Gospel on Independence concert at Philadelphia’s Independence Mall was canceled on Sunday due to a severe storm.
