The prisoners were very friendly and we were even chatting – Peter Blessing narrates his life in prison

Posted on by Gloria Katunge

Gospel kid, Peter Blessing has been trending for the past one week, basically because his boss, Bahati saw him locked up in police cells before his controversial release.

However, despite the pain and hurt, Peter Blessing, revealed that life in prison was a new, yet life-changing experience for him.

Speaking to Mpasho after his release, the youthful singer shared:

I was arrested on Thursday (16th Jan 2020) and came out on Sunday (19th Jan 2020) for allegedly owing Bahati Ksh 2,039,000 Million. That was my first time but you know I am a man so I had to bear it.

Speaking of revenge:

It hurt me so badly considering it was my first time in jail. If I was a bad person, I would have come out and taken my revenge. But there is no need for that. The truth will prevail.

Experience

However, it got interesting when the singer narrated his life in the cells, with other prisoners.

That place is for everyone you sleep on the floor but such is life. It really hurt me a lot and it made me question why someone would want to do that to me. I do not even want to think about it.

Fortunately for Peter Blessing, the prisoners were welcoming enough and loved him because of his humility and his music.

The prisoners were very friendly and we were even chatting. They were telling me that if I ever became famous they would support my music and pray for me to be better. They loved me a lot because they did not think I would stay in the cells for that long.

Funny enough, the same Bahati visited him in the cells, trying to retrieve as much information as he sought.

I was eating food being brought by my visitors. Bahati was also coming to visit, I would find him there and we would talk a bit. He was thinking that people had coerced me to leave EMB but I thought about leaving EMB almost 10 times. I am just trying to protect my future. People disagree and fight that is why I am not taking it personally.

EMB signee, Peter Blessing opened up on leaving the Bahati-owned record label, that drew a rift between the two singers.

Having just been signed in, in July 2019, the young talent believed it was time for him to seek new ventures based on life´s revelations at the time.

The 20-year old who spent 3 nights on the cold floors of the police cells, was accused of illegally acquiring Ksh 2 Million from Bahati, which he denied upfront.

However, soon after his release, Peter Blessing sought to clarify on his reasons to leave the label, stating:

In life, everyone has their own plans and God guides us sometimes. I felt it was God´s time for me to move so I had no ill-intentions. I wanted to go and struggle on my own.

According to him:

I love seeing myself making it in life. Over a certain period of time, many other issues came up. I used to call my mum and we could not communicate properly. There is also a time I had been told (by Bahati) to go and not come back.

So based on his judgement, Peter Blessing believed:

Maybe God wanted me to move. Things were just happening and I could not understand them. I cannot fully blame Bahati or Weezdom. All I am hoping is things will be okay, moving forward.

EMB´s in-house artiste, Peter Blessing, was finally released from the police cells admitting that his arrest was hurting but all in all, he forgives Bahati.

The upcoming gospel talent who spent the weekend behind bars, revealed that Bahati´s and Weezdom´s deeds were unjust but he forgives them.

I have no problem with anyone and I am trying to forget completely. I would still work with them. They are my brothers. They took me from being a solder to an artiste who is world known. I respect Bahati and I have no problem with him. I have no problem with anyone even if it feels like there is a problem.

During a phone interview with KISS 100, soon after his release, Peter Blessing admitted he has been through a lot, but holds no grudges with anyone, whosoever.

He might feel bad that I am out but only God knows my future. I am Christian and it hurts but human beings make mistakes. I pray he forgives me if I have done anything wrong and I forgive him for what he has done for me.

As reported by the local media, judging from the tone of his voice, he was sorrowful but filled with hope that much better is yet to come.
