J Blessing has opened up about the accusations that he sacrificed his late son and ran away to Uganda during an interview with CTA, with Jibril denying.

"They said nilienda kupata nguvu Uganda," He calls this moment a lesson learnt, with the biggest being to reconcile with those he has problems with.

"I think I learnt so much from him and that time I was going through so much."

Blessing was absent during the pregnancy because he was in school in the USA.

"So I wasn't present sana, during the pregnancy but when I was around I was able to spend some time," with him.

While in the US, he got a request to go to Uganda to set up a studio and did that for a month,

"So there is so much that happened in Uganda I don't want to talk about it. I did a couple of videos with big artistes, When I am about to  come back home, the guy that invited me amehepa. with the money."

He explained that he needed to get back because of his ailing son,

"So when it came to time to come back, mi sina doh ya kurudi, the guy has hepad with all of it. Here at home (KE) mabloggers are saying nilikimbilia wapi? Here (UG)."

This was quite a frustrating time for him,

"So tried to raise some money. My son needed my attention For a month being away that was too much, so Cindy Sanyu bailed me out. She paid for my hotel where I was living, and it was quite some amount."

His problems went from bad to worse.

"Nilikuwa nimekauka kabisa so uko (UG) nimeibiwa and also many other things I do not want to talk about, so coming here, the toi (Kyle) needed attention, hosi he was just normal, he was supposed to get the 6-month immunization injection. So we delayed kidogo, so during that time RK had a project, he called me."

When he got the first payment he managed to take the child to hospital. 

"And then now that's when the problem started. Alikuwa sawa but mguu ni ka ilioza, sijui like every single day, there was a news that mtoi anaget worse."

Blessing remained confident his son would recover, "Even in business, everything wasn't working. I told the doctors to do everything that they could to make him survive."

Doctors advised a way to take the child to India or switch off the machines,

"I told them no, my son is going to live, I know that. What I've gone through this period, I don't think that God would dessert me like that."

Blessing reached out to many people,

"I think maybe I might have forgotten who I was. Coz you are in a high place, you are trying to make everything work so during the time that my son was sick, I was able to reconcile with every single person that I've ever ...I was calling everyone, coz I wanted God to listen to my prayers."

And,

"At night I told god you know I've gone through so much in my life, and you've always been there, you have always come through for me, you've always provided, even in the worst moments ever. I just want to have a testimony like other people, to say that I've seen you do a miracle."

Immediately J Blessing made that prayer, he got a call from the hospital, "I got a call from the hosi eh your child had gone but we resuscitated him back. I told God if this is how  you want it I do not want to see you.

God had already dealt with the mum. So by the time we were going to the hospital I think the mum had already known that he had passed. Me I couldn't."

The bill was almost Sh 1 million. "For the body to be released you have to clear this debt." J Blessing was in a daze, so his friend RK cleared the bill and took charge of other procedures.

"I learnt to reconcile. Every time I tell people that my angel came and went to be with the Lord. I learnt reconciliation. so he is a reconciliation message to me. Yeah so anyone who is going through that just let God. god knows how to take care of things."

He then went on to explain what part the death played in his breakup with Chantelle.

"I would say yes and no because we saw it. For me when I was losing everything, I remember telling the mother of my child that you see we've lost so many things, I don't wanna lose you. But you can't tell God what to do. Even now we talk, she is my friend. We laugh about other things."
