Last month, Wyclef Jean tapped Kirk Franklin to join him on his YouTube series where they revealed how big of fans they are of each other. We learned that they both served as choir directions as early teens and even got a glimpse into the story of how — unbeknown to Wyclef — Kirk Franklin attended Wyclef’s listening session for Carnival back in the 90s. It was an almost-hour long video of two legends giving props to each other. So much so, Wyclef presented Kirk Franklin with a reggae remix to his “Love Theory” song. Kirk Franklin loved it and asked why Wyclef didn’t put his own verse on it. A week later, they laid down the track. Together. Officially.
