Lyfe Jennings Set To Serve Jail Sentence

Apparently, old habits die hard. Earlier today, an Atlanta court sentenced Lyfe Jennings to three and half years in jail. The decision stems from a 2008 domestic dispute where the R&B singer discharged a gun in public and evaded police. Lyfe, a convicted felon, previously served 10 years in prison for arson. Below, is a message he posted to his fans via his Twitter account. Lyfe’s latest album, I Still Believe was released last month.

This will be my last post. To everyone who gave me a chance I am forever in your debt. I have had a fabulous career because of you. All I can say in parting is that I have been honest with yaw. I didn’t sugarcoat a word didn’t hold back a single syllable of my life from yaw. I’ve lived a hundred lives in these 6 yrs so I not only won’t, i don’t have the right to complain. I would like to think that I’ve changed lives by changing my own, tho I can’t be sure. But one thing I am sure of is God gives and takes away in measure. He is fair, just and forever. Amen from aman… Smile, its contageous:)

  8. CantGetRight says:

    Lyfe is 1 of the realest R&B cats out there. Always kept it 100 in his music. Always spoke on real subjects that alot of R&B cats were scared to touch on because they were too busy trying to get on the radio. His new album is nice as hell too. And Im guessing that his “retirement” had something to do with this situation. Everybody makes mistakes. He’ll be back

  36. Smooth Angie says:

    Leave this man alone. He did what he did, yeah it was stupid, but how many of us have been caught up in that moment and just react without really thinking the whole situation through? All of us, some of us were just lucky we didnt get in trouble for a bad decisions. Lyfe do your time and come on out and handle your bizness. Yeah he keeps it real in his songs, but trust and beleive when he come out and and make that next CD its going to be some more Lyfe lessons on it. Keep your head up. Loved You IN DC with Uncle Charlie!!!!
