Former Bad Boy rapper Shyne is back on U.S. soil. The Leader of Belize’s Opposition party has returned to the United States with help from Diddy, who assisted in securing Shyne a visa, according to Baller Alert.
Shyne’s return as a diplomat will allow him to improve relations between the U.S. and Belize by meeting with senators and members of Congress in the coming weeks.
“It feels great,” he says in the clip below. “It feels great to be in America representing Belize.”
Based on his Instagram, Shyne looks to be moving around Atlanta in the Georgia State Capitol meeting with government officials. He met with Rep. Erica Thomas on Tuesday (August 17) and posted a photo alongside the executive director of the Georgia Public Defender Council, Omotayo Alli.
Shyne, who hopes to follow in his father’s footsteps one day and become prime minister of Belize, is a true redemption story with his return to the United States.
The “Bonnie & Shyne” rapper was convicted in 2001 on two counts of assault, reckless endangerment and gun possession for his role in a December 1999 nightclub shooting. He served eight years before being deported to Belize in 2009.

Watch more from his July conversation with Diddy below.
He’s a full out politician and y’all are still calling him Shyne. If Diddy helped, it was the least he could do after he let the dude take the blame for all of that.
Bingo. You have to let the best become the past in order to discuss future reparations
You could tell he missed pounding that a**. That’s why he had to finesse his contacts up to n the corridors of power. After the White House he heads straight to Diddy’s mansion for some make up ***. Diddy is one relentless mfker.
Puff you might want write him a check on the low idk For $500k for doing that 10yr bid for you. Just saying
Shyne Po did that bid for real and never seemed bitter.
Clearly didn’t hear the disses he had every right to throw Diddy way
Ya’ll stay talking about this clone shit and this the ONE time ya’ll don’t…hahah Dude don’t even look the same at all…
Shyne probably dropping off a few tons of coke and recording an album while here
Diddy is going to hit that before he leaves. Guaranteed…. pause.
I don’t like way P Diddy did Shyne with different…senators.
Shyne was the greatest. Maybe not rapper but greatest something. Those thug records he did were the best. I don’t care. Shyne ws my dude. Did not surprise me to find out his background and I suppose that was the point.
I can’t even believe this! Had to read again. Shyne back! So happy
Inspirational, he made serious mistakes in his life, paid his dues, rebuilt and is back.
Now that’s a comeback!!!
Shyne Po is a real one did time in Clinton one of the illest state prisons in upstate New York and held it TF down Not too many real ones left
Isn’t Belize just some narco-state colony of the US that conveniently doesn’t have extradition?
What a surprise that the ruling family is tied up with the music industry and drug money.
Reminds me of the time they tried to make Wyclef president of Haiti but the locals weren’t having it…
This. It totally flies over the heads of most people though.
Isn’t there a positive aspect to this. Shyne coming back into the circle.
