Former Bad Boy artist Shyne spoke to reporters about the jailing of his former boss, Sean “Diddy” Combs.
“When I was an 18-year-old kid, just wanting to do nothing other than make my mother proud and make Belize proud and … be recognized for my talent and take over the world. I was defending him and he turned around and called witnesses to testify against me. He pretty much sent me to prison,” the rapper-turned-politician said in a press conference held in his home country of Belize.
Moses “Shyne” Barrow was sentenced to 10 years behind bars in 2001 over a 1999 nightclub shooting. He was released in 2009 and deported back to Belize.
According to the victim of the shooting and recently Shyne himself…Diddy was the one who allegedly pulled the trigger.
“Let us not lose sight of what the cold hard facts are. This is not someone who I vacationed with and someone who I enjoyed this great, intimate relationship of brotherhood,” he continued. “This is someone who destroyed my life, and who I forgave, and who I moved on, and for the better interest of Belize because he was in the position at that time to give scholarships and to maybe invest. I would not deny attempting to bring the investment to Belize and bring the contributions to education.”
Shyne added that he does not take any satisfaction from knowing Diddy is behind bars.
