I know by now all of you have heard about my favorite singer, Lyfe Jennings, being arrested last week because of some baby mama drama. Well I know I am the main one who gets down on celebrities when they make a mistake but I am here to let you know that we shouldn't judge Lyfe, we should in fact pray for him because anyone can go off the path.
Now everyone knows that the more talented you are, the more mental problems you have hence Michael Jackson, R. Kelly, even Avant. So this comes to no surprise that Lyfe was locked up over something dealing with domestics. Now I have never met Lyfe Jennings; I only saw him perform once in person but I could tell from day 1 that my babe had some issues going on within himself.
I always told my friends that I was in love with Lyfe but never wanted to actually have sex with him because I tell he had some emotional issues that he probably didn't work out yet. I mean think like this...he was locked up for 10 years for arson. As most of us know arson is a “white boy” crime which makes it a sicko crime. And I don't know if he got 10 years for just arson but if he did that mean he tried to burn up a huge building and people were in it. Then you get out and instantly you're on the road to NYC to pursue a music career. You weren't home a year before you were back on the road; which means you never had a chance to settle down and think about yourself. As a celebrity, you go out the window and then it becomes all about them- fans, managers, music executives, etc. Etc. So you no longer have any time to figure out what it is that you want.
No matter what these rappers display in their videos, every man wants love. I think especially a celebrity man because no one seems to love them infinitely; everyone is out to get what they want and no longer give a damn about you. So when they meet that one woman who is down with them no matter what; they're hooked to her. Now I don't know the real story between Lyfe Jennings and his so-called wife/baby mother, Joy Bounds. But I heard that Joy was there from the start in the beginning of his career. She managed him and received producer credit on many of his hits which tells me she was the money behind the project. They moved to Atlanta (the home of the cheating man) after he became successful and had two sons. Rumors started around Atlanta and Mediatakeout about two chicks getting pregnant from Lyfe and I guess Joy wasn't having it and decided to bounce.
First off let me be the first to say that I love Lyfe but Joy Bounds is gorgeous. She seems very hard working (she owns her own Entertainment Company) and she went hard to get Lyfe out there. He probably did go out there and cheat because the coochie is the nectar that most men seem to not be able to turn down but like most people in a messed up situation- he learned his lesson and now wants his family back. Like he said in his recent hit, "Never Never Land", there's no other place that I rather be then with you and my kids, my family.
Now this is the part where anyone could lose it. Now let's pretend you messed up and you want your boo back but they're not hearing it or they went out there and got someone new. Hell it happens; it happened to me. And no matter what you say or do, they just don't want you back. That will make anyone depressed no matter what. Lyfe may have resulted in drinking, you may have resulted in eating but it makes you miserable.
Don't judge me but I remember when I broke up with my first boyfriend. I thought I was real cute but then a month later into the break up we had sex and I wanted him back. He told me he was talking to 2 new chicks but I didn't take it personal because he didn't make it seem that serious. Weeks passed by and I got crazy and broke into his phone only to find that this one chick was going hard. To make a long story short, he wanted to get back with me but he didn't want to let that new chick go so we just 86'd the whole idea of reuniting. Every time I thought about this chick, I would practically throw up because you never really want someone back until someone else got him. I went crazy. There's some strange things I did that I won't tell you but one of the strangest was me and him had an argument over the phone so I ran over to his house in the winter with just my brown Juicy outfit and we were arguing and tussling and when he closed the door in my face, I punched in the window of the door and proceeded to walk away. As I was walking away I slipped on a piece of ice and fell down the steps and my whole ass was out and I limped home.
We didn't even get back together. I know now that I'm older that all of it was over ego just like what Lyfe is going through. I didn't want him back; I just didn't want him with anyone else and I can imagine if he and I had kids, I probably would still be going crazy but it taught me a valuable lesson. Do good to people so you won't be so emotional once you break up with 'em because then you won't be crazy. Now if I cut you off; it’s for a reason. I just hope Lyfe get it together because he doesn't want to be locked up over this chick because he has a lot of talent and we need brothers out here like him because he is a genius, he just went through something personal and when you go through that you don't care who u are, you're just trying to make a point.
