: MediaTakeOut.com is sad to report that platinum-selling hip-hop/R&B artist Lyfe Jennings said goodbye to his fans on Twitter after being sentenced to three and a half years in prison for a 2008 fight with his ex-girlfriend.

The 37-year-old rapper was given the jail sentence in an Atlanta court Wednesday for criminal trespassing, discharging a weapon near a street, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and fleeing or attempting to elude a police officer, according to hiphopwired.com.

During a heated confrontation with ex-girlfriend Joy Pound, the mother of his children, he kicked the door of a house belonging to Jeff Kendrick and then fired rounds from a gun in the street before fleeing the scene in his 2005 Corvette.

After his sentencing, Jennings thanked his fans on Twitter for his career.

Unfortunate. He served a ten year bid back in the late 80's. ***....its not worth it men. Keep your hands to yourself.


CANNON7

Dag I feel bad for him...trust me when people *** on you emotions and heart, use you..then you can be provoked to go loco Lord knows I felt like doing a "Lyfe Jennings" but question yourself what is more important giving up years of freedom for an azzclown or enjoying your freedom and living life? I would choose to live life! Love yourself first they aren't worth it! I pray for you Lyfe!


andrew-show

It's his fault. gotta make better decisions. Hope he enjoyed the ride so far.

Black celebs are just getting locked up left and right now-a-days.


kokotye157

@tiplite you are a waste of sperm....so the gun toting, door kicking, *** firing thug was provoked? is this your theory? and yes if it was a becky the outcome WOULD have been different because his black azz would have been dead.........


mizzthugger2u

gotta pay for your ACTIONS. his CD go HARD.



sweetpea1

with all that talent, his mind is still imprisoned. hopefully, he can get it together.


TheClash

*** Neggaz! He Just Got Out Of Jail When The First Album Came Out...Well Have Fun Cause He Seems To Like It


Being_ME

SMDH....He already did 10 *** yrs.... Nothing...i mean NOTHING {unless self defense} should have provoked him to react in a way that may have caused him to end up on the wrong side of the law.....AGAIN. 10 yeeeears ???? Thats a long tiiiime. THINK man....THINK BEFORE YOU ACT.


she45nam

life is gonna *** around and get life if he dont calm his stupid *** down. this dam fool went over there with a gun to get his kids which is the craziest *** i ever heard of. not only did he bring a gun but he fired two *** into the street...anybody coulda been walking past. he out here trying to be a young o.j. and now he gonna prolly be in the same cell with him. dumb ***. i guess he was gonna just kill her and just drag the kids out thier dead mother arms. thats why she ran off with the dam kids and left his *** in the first place. idiot. now he really cant see his dam kids how stupid


MTColli10

Noooooooooo...He was real R&B music. I can't stand half the *** that's out there already. I want real R&B groups or soloist to reunite. Such as Jodeci, Silk, Guy, BBD, H-town, Joe, Rome, Keith Sweat, Johnny Gill....I even miss R.Kelly. I made some babies off Kels songs.


PookaShellz

"criminal trespassing, discharging a weapon near a street, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and fleeing or attempting to elude a police officer" He's lucky his jail bird *** only got 3 1/2 years. If any dude I know would have done this ***, I doubt he would get same sentence. If this fool would have come to my house acting stupid and raging with a gun, I would have called the cops too, baby momma or not! He made his situation worse by firing the gun and fleeing from the police. ***...and he was just "complaining" about paying child support. Now what?


NellNick

Yo said he retiring.. lmao *** had no choice! Good luck with that s#!t homie.. keep ya head up. Downfall of a man is a phat azz *** good pu$$y.. f*ck the pu$$y, dont let the pu$$y f*ck you


HUEmanbro

Meanwhile dumb hoes like Paris and lindsay keep getting taps on the thumbs, not slaps on the wrist and they obviously don't respect the Amerikkka "just us" system. Two set of laws in the Amerikkka "just us" system, especially when you have the complexion for protection.


pisces79

wow, man kat's need to think before they react..


NuMind

hes an entertainer...hes not eligible for a year and a day..he'll take a year and a day..give him that he'll get out your way....yall gave wayne, gucci and T.I.P. a year and a day....

funny things is no one will be wearing a free Lyfe *** on the B.E.T. Awards and he's realler than lil wayne, gucci, t.i. and his music is better too

i dont agree with what he did but he couldnt get a T.I. deal


Tastysis

TDR25

What does her race have to do with what he did? HE went to her house with a gun, HE trespassed kicking in her door, HE *** a gun in a public street (where a stray *** could have hit someone) and HIS dumb blk azz evaded the cops! Ur thinking is illogical and coonish and I find it hilarious how u like to call people stupid with all of ur hypothetical questioning! Ur a real idiot! Cont-


Minny

thats wat this sucka gets!


MommyDearest

He's not a rapper and I hope he's writing in prison...I love his music.


Tastysis

What about Black men who date white women and they take their black azzes to the cleaners and or lock there azzes up (Tila Tequlia, Nicole Brown, Elin Woods,Mike Stahans wife etc? Ur argument is dumb and unrealible!


Nesha00

AND SHE IS UGLY



Tastysis

TexasGlamChic

*waves

I hear what u r saying there is no mistaking that blacks get tried and sentenced more harshly then these white folks but as my teacher in middlee school always said "as miniorites, we have to work harder than our white counterparts"! These blk celebs can't do the same *** they c Lindsey,Paris or Charlie Sheen do!


customcalendars4u2

All that time he spent in prison in his youth he must have developed that jail house mentality and just can't shake it. Why else, have so much to loose and risk it by losing control and snapping? Dumb! Her and him,cause if the nicca locked up he can't earn revenue and keep her in the penthouse with child support.


emmettmays85

*** he tried to off his baby momma and oly gets 3 years? he must have copped out


emmettmays85

his baby momma look kinda nice i'll *** her raw


Tastysis

Cont-

Lyfe is an idiot for pulling that ***! TI didn't just get caught with the drugs...he was on probation from those gun charges! The last thing his blk azz should have been doing is getting high! What is it with blk ppl and guns? TI, Lyfe, Plaxico Buress, Weezy, Remy ma etc!


HUEmanbro

Lindsay lohan, gets off again for testing positive for cocain. IN 2007 she carjacked someone's SUV with three others in the vehicle and ran over someone's foot while putting three lives at risk and they steal gave that white *** a tap on the thumb. SMH blacks if we don't stand for something we'll fall for anything. The Amerikkka "just us" system are locking blacks up left and right whiles whites continue to committ crimes and barely gets punished.


jane

life jenning HAD THE POTENTIAL TO BE AN ICON, HE HAS A GREAT FAN BASE, NOW HE HAS TO SIT BEHIND BARS WHILE THE REST OF HIS MONEY IS DISTRIBUTED TO HIS BABY MOMMA WHOM HE WAS ANGRY AT CAUSE HE HAD TO PAY HER AN HER MAN...NOW LOOK AT THE CONTRAST, CELEB, BLACK OR WHITE AINT SUPPOSE TO GET A PASS FOR BAD BEHAVIOR,!!!!THEY DO STUPID STUFF


emmettmays85

hey everybody im gonna be good today


HUEmanbro

@ texas don't forget plaixco burress and michael vick and many others.


PromiscuousGirL

That was crazy what he did. He has issues. All the people bringing up T.I when complaining about the ''justice system'' i don't get how whites are being treated better than him? He has been in & out of jail his whole life and should have gotten life in prison for his illegal arsenal of weapons. That episode of Punk'd should've set him straight when they acted like he was getting busted by the FBI.


Tastysis

STDR25

Ur argument is *** *** (classic *** tdr25)! "He never would have done that if a bw didn't push him 2 the edge"? Did u think about this stupid *** b4 typing it? Lyfe is a a grown azz man & is responsible 4 his actions like ur silly azz is! Don't try 2 dissolve a bman's responsibility 4 his own actions! Ur a typical coon whining about an unjust system, thinking that ww really want ur tired, trife ashy blk azz! U better take ur azz to the NAACP with ur ***!


HUEmanbro

TDR25, when I lived in Detroit this white women escpaed prison from a drug charge. And went to Cali to live a life and she got married and had children until one of her neighbors snitched on her and they brought her back to Michigan only to let her go even though she escaped and they said she changed. We black folks just sit back and let that *** happen. They are going to keep doing it. It's sad I feel like I'm the last of a dying breed, because most black men today are weak and not like Malcom,Martin,Marucus garvy,Heuy P newton.


Playax01

*** the lady in the must be nice video was right smh "youll be back!"...*** lyfe why?!!!!


HUEmanbro

tastysis, nobody care about you cooning. What about the NFL player that was accused of rape and Charlie sheen who is women beater they sent him away to teach acting instead of locking him up. What do your sambo *** have to say aobut that?


Ha8MyBabbyDaddy

AWWWWWW SNAP, FROM HIS BEHAVIOR, I WOULDA GUESSED HE PLAYS IN THE NFL OR SOMETHING COZ THAT IS ***!!!!!

RickyRoyale718

*** bruh, baby moms aint ish


DeeLaLa

That is so sad. I actually like his song statistics. How the hell does he teach about love, possitivity, honesty, and women standing up for themselves. Yet he turns around and do somthing like that isn't this some form of hypocritcity?


ladytopshotta73

*** POST**Even though buddy is responsible for his own actions and all this could've been avoided by just being "SMART", this is just another case of many occurances where it's best for a Black man to either remain celibate, single, or strictly date outside his race.

What part of this does ANYONE fail to understand---you sideways talking, dumb black COC*KSUCKER!!! Okay so you admit that Lyfe is responsible for his actions---then you go on to say that this could have been avoided if he stayed single or dated outside his race! As if that would cure this dude's VERY OBVIOUS mental and emotional instability---celibacy, single or a woman of another race? This is by far the lowest and the stupidest thing I ever heard if that's even POSSIBLE coming from your SICK, ***, Bitter, Coon D*ICK in the BOOTY stupid AZZ! STDR you seem to love arguing and craving attention from the very people you claim not to like----get help Azzhole.....Seriously Take your own advice about celibacy and beat your 2 inch meat, Clown! You HAVE to be an abused child with no father---you are a f*uckin MESS! Now watch you come back with same ole tired, stupid RETORT--Bitter BW, lonely, yada,yada,yada---GO F*UCK YOURSELF!!!



ladytopshotta73

No-ONE is responsible for the actions of grown azz men!


erin912

@sheree5 nope u are not the only one... it's an age old question


ladytopshotta73

*I'm not sure how many baby mamas he has, but 9-10 times it's a BW*

Stupid Azzhole! Because spanish,asian,white etc are all the good girls who NEVER have children out of wedlock and NEVER have their boyfriends arrested for violence, right DUMB COON? SMFH Your bitterness is destroying whatever is left of your brain cells. You are truly an idiot!

*** thats fu**ed up, but you know you *** hit women


Heaven

Hey that's to bad, sounds like he's his own "Statistic"


wisegal

You can argue all you want about how much time he got. Bottom line is that as a convicted felon he knew he had to watch his step or back to jail he goes. After spending 10 years in jail I wouldn't want to see a jail again, but I guess freedom doesn't meann much to some folks.

KyleSexyBear

Y'all fail to realize that this cat was just a street dude that could sing..Simply..So True Talk y'all should have already seen this coming...I guarantee you Lyfe isn't surprised as much as y'all are...


_lovesantia

he's too old for that silly mess..@christie_love i totally agree.


654321gone

seen it comin SMDH


ladytopshotta73

This Dude (Lyfe) was abusive, caught with a gun, threatening and menacing the mother of his child, but yet all some people can think is that it's because he's with a "hood chick". As if his stupidity, uncontrollable behavior and narcissistic rage is because SHE'S ghetto and hood! These guys are ALL angels that mess with "hood chicks" who somehow, MAGICALLY bring out the savage animal and the worse in them! These guys don't already have issues with RAGE, mental imbalances, mental and physically abusive tendencies and other types of psychological issues---just blame it on "hood chicks" Do you even know ANYTHING about the mother of his child personally to think those things??? Remember, he's the one going to jail---he had the gun---not her! This dude is crazy and it has NOTHING to do with her being a black woman! SMH

DaTouch---Why don't you and ExtremeTurd exchange e-mails? Get rid of all that hostility and suck each other off as you preach your Anti-black woman movement? 2 angry *** pounding away at each other's ***-holes as you *** black woman slurs. Just get it over with, okay?? First you have the same trolls who come to a website with blacks saying the same sh*it everyday----then you got pseudo- intellectual, repressed fudgepacking QUEENS like *** that tries to CONVINCE others of his misogynistic, ***-erotic views. Let's face it, TDR----It's not about celibacy, being single or dating IR for you is it? You are subliminally crusading for black men to be *** just like you! LMAOOOOOOO! Dookie Chaser!


CedesBabii

Sad news true indeed... But people really need to realize these stars are regular people just like us....


Dreayonn

This is so messed up SMH


emmettmays85

@sexytranny the first 48 coming on *** and one of the episode division/loose ends filmed directly in my old stomping grounds


Bootielishis35

NOW WHO'S GONNA TELL THESE YOUNG GIRLS WHAT TO LOOK OUT FOR IN A SORRY *** MAN??? *** LYFE!!!


mabeline

More black men need to operate under the premise that they only get 3 strikes and are already born with 2 against just being black. I heard my father quote this to my brothers while growing up all the time. Armed with the complexion for rejection you have to think seriously before you act!!


symone09

NOOOOO!!! I DIDNTT WANT HIM TO GO BACK TO JAIL =(


tiplite2004

To the young lady who said I'm a waste of sperm lmao. Don't u mean I waste sperm? I stand by what I said about ghetto/hood women! Fellas if u want less drama in ur lyfe (no pun) don't date either of the two... They come in all shades but mostly AAW(let's be honest)...



tiplite2004

When I said he should have dated a Becky I was referring to the fact that most WW are not hood/ghetto. @ least not where I'm from! The problem with dating a Women out of the hood or ghetto is, those are the chicks who faught men and women thru out there life so they're raised to be confrontational!


tiplite2004

They are the ones u here about ***.king up dudes cars and make up most of the women in domestic violence cases. Now u get a woman who wasn't raised in the hood or ghetto and 8 times out 10 they have never even been in a fight with a women more or less a man. They're not confrontational.


tiplite2004

Don't believe me? Watch cheaters! It's always the AAW ready to *** a bitc.h up on there. Every other race of women on that show cries and moves on. Just a few months ago  this same women was complaining how lyfe Jennings doesn't give her Child support $... U see fellas , they make u hate them then want u to give them $..I mean, does this woman even have a job? Lmao. Ain't nothing wrong with ***.king someone from the hood but please please please don't procreate with them or you'll end up miserable, broke,  or like lyfe in jail


Ms_Lieutenant

HE'S STUPID.


tiplite2004

And I'm not saying this dude is innocent but ain't no man gonna do something like that if they weren't provoke. But since he's a dude y'all shake your heads. But when a woman beats a guy with a bat for cheating she gets cheers. Anyways he did 10 b4 so doing 3 should be a walk in the park. Hope he still has a career when he's released.


TrillyPolk

*** HOMIE


HawtStuff

I didn't know tiplite was a part of mediatakeouts scheme to lower black womens' self esteem. These comments definitely prove so. Why are people tryna act like its his baby mamas fault that he wanted to be hypocrite and try to break into someone house and fire. thats all his dumb *** fault, dont blame every black woman cuz he wanna be a ***.


donthateonthegreat

***, that's not nice! He always seem so level-headed when he speak, so it's a shame that he seem to stay into trouble like he do.

JUST WANT 2 SAY, "I LOVVVVE MY BLACK WOMEN!!!", TRU DAT! :D AND ALSO WOMEN FROM DIFFERENT RACES TOO! :D YO LYFE, HANG IN THERE! STAY STRONG! I'M OUT!


laladede

Dang all I can think about is what the lady said in the "Must Be Nice" video..."he'll be back" smh dang! I love his music and I'll miss his voice.



Ms_Angie

I don't know if being sentenced is as sad as his actions. Kicking someone's door in with a gun and firing, in the home of his kids of all places. Really makes him no different than the low lives on the street that grab guns to handle all their problems or engage women violently.


msamazing

Dang Lyfe what happened to you brah!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Eyelinerandheels

Wow..to think he changed..that goes to show even tho someone changes a lil bit some of the past lives within them.


kaleema31

regardless of what he did.i still like lyfe as a singer and a person.my reason for that is.alot of women are greedy when it come to other people money.just like lyfe said in the interview.you *** be tryna live off of his earned income.get your lazy self up and get a job.lyfe refused to pay child support to support his babymother and her boyfriend.so lyfe taking a early retirement becuz of that.i think lyfe love being a singer.its just that soon as you become a celebrity its always somebody tryna take your dream away and messing it up.i think his babymother provoked him.


mrsadams09

I'm so upset to see him go to jail. I have all his cd's this is a real dude that put out real music and stay talking about everyday life. Keep your head up Lyfe!!!


Xlisse

I SEE WHY SHE DON'T WANT HIM ROUND DEM KIDS

HE FU.CKIN CRAZY!!!


eastcoastfaye

THANK YOU JESUS!! For any of you that didn't know it but...he CAN NOT sing!! I can't figure out who's worse...him or that beggin' *** Keith Sweat!!
