The popular music video director has now opened up about the death of his son Kylie. Speaking during an interview with Word Is, J Blessing narrated the circumstance leading to his son’s death.

“When he was sick, he was given an immunisation injection and a few weeks later, he died. During that time I was going through a lot in life, and I remember when doctors talked to us about his health status, I was like, I’m sure God is going to heal him,” said J Blessing.

J Blessing further said that he really prayed hard for God to heal his son. The tot however died just after J Blessing went home to pray from him, shortly after he visited him in hospital.

“I went home that night and prayed. Around 8am, I told God, ‘Please heal my son’. Because people talk of God doing miracles in their lives and this was the time I wanted to see Him doing something visible. Five minutes after the prayer, I got a call from the hospital that my son had died,” said J Blessing.
