Victorie is the daughter of Franklin's youngest son, Kecalf Franklin. She is currently pursuing a career in music and first gained public attention when she sang "Take Me to the King" at the BET Awards in 2014.

The performance was a tribute to her grandmother who was amongst the audience. Apart from inheriting Franklin's passion for music, Victorie also shared a close bond with her grandmother.
