Kirk Franklin was briefly taken by officers at a Philadelphia event after someone shouted that the artist and his wife would end up in damnation. An angry attendee kept hurling cruel remarks at Franklin’s wife, and that wouldn’t quiet down. Members of Franklin’s team pleaded with the crowd to settle everything, yet the shouting wouldn’t fade . That’s when police decided to step in and hold the singer for a short while.
The venue swiftly cancelled the rest of the evening’s performances. The promoter stated the remaining acts could not continue. Guests left calmly as similar attractions across the city carried on as normal.
