My son is a very talented, beautiful soul and the way that he was wired is not necessarily his fault. Some of us are born with very unique wiring and a lot of times in our community it is hard for us to acknowledge certain wiring. We want to think it’s something else.”
“My son recently was incarcerated so we knew and we’ve been watching it for years,” Franklin told DJ Envy. “This is my boy. I know my son. I’ve known everything. Right now, I am proud of him because I think he is — we are privately trying to address some of those things. And I have to realize, Envy, that he may never be able to understand the gravity of what he did. For me, I may have to live with that and put his well-being before what he did.”
