The saga of Kirk Franklin and the Jamaica Broilers Group at the Fun in the Son concert
The gospel artist Kirk Franklin created controversy in Jamaica among Christians conservatives following a performance deemed too suggestive at the famous annual Fun in the Son concert, sponsored by Best Dressed Chicken, a brand of the Jamaica Broilers Group. This company is renowned for its commitment to Judeo-Christian values ​​and displays on its website its determination to remain faithful to its founding principles, which dictate its policies and corporate culture.
Just ahead of the Fun in the Son event held at the Caribbean island’s National Stadium, the Jamaica Broilers Group invited the public to celebrate with them their 65 years of divine faithfulness, with the participation of Franklin, artist Toby Mac and other artists Christians local. The company, which operates in agricultural production and distribution, and has significant activities in UNITED STATESenvisioned this festival as a way to transform lives for Jesus Christ and to bear witness to God’s love with family and friends.
However, Franklin’s performance was not well received by all spectators. A video that went viral shows mixed reactions, with some people confused or offended by the way he behaved on stage, comparing him to artists like Usher, Michael Jackson or Chris Brown. The reactions, ranging from disappointment to leaving the concert, illustrate the gap between the audience’s expectations of onstage conduct at a gospel event and what Franklin presented.
In the face of criticism, Christopher Levy, president and CEO of Jamaica Broilers Group, expressed implicit disappointment with Franklin’s performance, indicating that they were hoping for greater sensitivity towards their audience from the artist . Despite the lack of response from the Franklin team to these concerns, hopes remain for an evolution in the way it presents itself, emphasizing that the company continues to support its spiritual growth. While the group is expanding its activities across the world, Franklin, for his part, approached his return to the stage in Jamaica after ten years, promising to bring all the passion accumulated over the last decade.
