Lyfe Jennings Reveals He Was Told He’s Not ‘Big Enough’ For Tiny Desk

[A Tribe Called Quest ™]

I remember I kept seeing the music video for S.E.X on MTV2 when I was in middle school. Other than that I haven’t heard any other song from him.

Must be Nice?

Didn't he crash out after fame? I can't remember y....

Yeah. He got arrested and did some time for attacking his girl, driving away from the scene drunk, having a firearm as a convicted felon, and leading the police on a high speed chase. His career never really recovered after that, which is a shame because the last album he put out before serving his sentence was really good. That song Statistics was a minor hit, and probably would have been bigger if he wasn’t going to prison when it came out.

Had to google it cause I never kept up with what he was doing but looks like he had an incident in 2008 then went back to jail. Article I read says he kicked in his ex’s door, fired off shots then lead police on a high speed chase.

 

[Consigliere]

Lol. We’ll he can always jump on the YouTube interview/podcast circuit and talk about this for the next 20 years.

Also… NPR is correct,

 

[Mac Ten]

Lyfe Jennings went to prison at the wrong time…

Shoot at your baby mama and lead a high speed chase looking like Shyne Po, breh

By the time he came out, R&B was dead.


He could have built a fanbase like Bobby V did after he left Luda/DTP.
