R&B crooner Lyfe Jennings, 37, was sentenced to three and a half years in prison on Wednesday (September 22nd) for an altercation on with his ex-girlfriend two years ago.
The singer made the revelation on his Twitter account.
“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,” the singer tweeted. “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.”
The singer was arrested in 2008 after an altercation with his ex-girlfriend, where he broke into her house and shot a handgun.
He then fled the scene as police chased the singer in his 2005 Corvette.
“All I can say in parting is that I have been honest. I didn’t sugarcoat a word didn’t hold back a single [part] of my life from [you],” he said.
He released a new album, I Still Believe, in August.
