Lyfe Jennings’ Ex Granted Restraining Order Against Singer

by Linda Hobbs

In 2004, Lyfe Jennings breakout hit was called, “Must Be Nice”— but according to a judge in Georgia, lately the R&B singer has been anything but “nice.”

Joy Bounds, the estranged girlfriend of Jennings, has been granted a temporary restraining order against the singer after she claims he threatened to kill her and one of her male friends.

“He has told me that if he can’t have me, nobody can,” Bounds said. According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Bounds- who has a 3-year-old and 22-month-old child with Jennings- says Jennings threatened her with calls and text messages. She also says he boxed up her belongings and changed the locks on her while she was out of town and threatened to report a car she was driving stolen.

Bound wrote in her petition for the restraining order, “90 percent of my clothes, shoes, panties, socks, jackets, etc.” were bleached, chopped up, and thrown in a nearby lake.

Just last week, Jennings took cops on a police chase after kicking in Bounds door in Smyrna, Georgia searching for her. He fired a gun on the street, and crashed his red Corvette.

Jennings- who’s already a convicted felon for an arson charge that landed him in prison from 1992 to 2002 in Ohio- was charged with attempting to elude, firing a firearm near a public highway, and refusing to take a sobriety test.

Both Bounds and Jennings are scheduled to appear back in court on Nov. 6 before Fulton County Superior Court Judge Karen Woodson.
