Recently, R&B artist Lyfe Jennings took to social media to reminisce about the time he was locked up with serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer. Lyfe Jennings, known for his hit record “Must Be Nice,” was sentenced to 11 years in prison for felony arson at 14 years old. Reportedly, he was with friends who tried to firebomb the residence of a drug dealer. However, instead of harming their intended target, they killed an innocent woman.

While doing the time for the crime he committed, he came into contact with Jeffrey Dahmer. According to RadarOnline, Dahmer and Jennings were locked up at Columbia Correctional Institute in Portage, Wisconsin (where Dahmer was eventually murdered at 34 years old by an inmate back in November 1994). Jennings, born Chester Jermaine Jennings, said:

“One day, you know, we in maximum security and they like everybody against the wall, cause I was a porter in a little bridge where they put inmates and stuff like that. So they bring the white boy in, and it just so happened that they put him in the cell next to me. I’m out there sweeping and mopping.”

He continued:

“So anyway, he was only there just for a short period of time, I don’t really remember how long, but the first day and a half, two days, we ain’t really hear nothing from the cat. In a couple days, he was banging on the doors. ‘Cause you know we locked down so much down there, you gotta have some fun so, the cat just kinda released his little – by yelling, beating on doors or whatever. That was back in the penitentiary days where you could smoke in the penitentiary right? I used to run across dude all the time cause he wanted a cigarette, he used to trade stuff for little cigarettes.”

The 44-year-old added:

“When i’d be sweeping up, I’d be singing. So a lot of times cats used to have requests or whatever while I was down there doing my thing. One particular day, I walked past & Jeffrey was like ‘hey, hey hey hey hey, yo that’s you down there singing?’ I’m like ‘yeah that was me down there singing, you see me down there man.’ So he was like ‘I like R&B’ I’m like ‘you like R&B?’ He’s like ‘yeah, yeah.’”

The Ohio native shared:

He was asking me, you’d never guess what song he asked me did I know. Mint Condition ‘Breakin’ My Heart (Pretty Brown Eyes)’ He asked me did I know that record and I sang the record, he beated on the door and all this stuff. I ain’t saying the homie is a celebrity or nothing, I’m just telling you my experience man.

After Lyfe Jennings was accused of lying he took to IG to defend his story. In part, he said,

“Nobody gotta lie to yall. Yall still playin R.Kelly at ya kids’ pool party but mad at me.”

As previously reported, Dahmer is a serial killer and sex offender who raped, killed, and dismembered at least 17 men and boys between the years of 1978 and 1991. Dahmer performed unfortunate experiments on his victims, which included injecting their bodies with cleaning solutions, removing their vital organs, and attempting to reduce their ability to function while alive. He was charged with 17 murders and sentenced to 16 life terms in prison.
