A man by the name of Richard Hubbard who attended the funeral told a mutual friend that he once had relations with Franklin's mother, which had sparked speculation among those in attendance as to whether he could really be Franklin's father. Franklin previously believed that his father was another man, Dwight Allen (who died in 2020) after he was told by his mother.

In the documentary, Franklin opens up about the challenges of growing up as an adopted child, it also shows the events of him meeting his biological father for the first time, reuniting with his estranged mother as well as reconciling with his oldest son Kerrion whom he had a complicated relationship with.
