After people started reacting to the incident, Kirk, too, took to Instagram and apologised for what happened. He said he lost his temper at the moment and said some words that were extremely inappropriate. Kirk added that he and his son have a toxic relationship for years now. The ‘Hello Fear’ singer claimed that a therapist was also on the call but his son deliberately chose not to post that on social media.
