Diddy has been accused of paying off the nightclub that was the scene of a shooting back in 1999 which left former Bad Boy artist Shyne incarcerated for decades.
Natalia Reuben, the woman who was shot in Club New York on December 27, 1999, took to her social media pages on Wednesday (February 28) to point the finger squarely at the embattled mogul.
“Let me tell you why that is of utmost importance to me,” she began, referring to Diddy’s myriad legal issues. “Because I am the woman he shot in the face in that December 27, 1999 Club New York shooting. I have told everyone ad nauseam since then, even the surgeon who did the surgery to take the bullet, I got shot in my face with a 9 mm hollow-point bullet called a cop killer.”
“I literally told everyone and never changed what I said. I watched him, I got [shot] in the face, I watched him fire the gun. I’ve said it all this time. Even the surgeon who did my surgery testified in the criminal trial that while they were putting me under [anesthesia].”
She continued: “I was screaming, ‘Puffy [shot] me in the face.’… Everybody knew he did it, but he paid off the club bouncer and all these other people to hide the video. That’s his MO.”
Reuben, who received nearly $2 million in a settlement at the time from Diddy, also accused the mogul of attempting to flatten her car as a means of intimidation — echoing a claim first made by Kid Cudi.
However, Diddy has always maintained his innocence, and was acquitted of all charges in the 1999 shooting. Shyne, meanwhile, was convicted of the shooting, sentenced to ten years in prison, and deported to Belize upon his release in 2009.
Back in 2020, Shyne sat down for a conversation with Fat Joe and told a different story than the one Reuben is telling.
“What was happening for me in my life in my time was a miracle, cause that incident in Club New York almost ended my career,” he said. “All I used to pray for, I know I defended myself … I defended my friends.
“I was in fear for my life. Scar who was the instigator … I know Scar from Brooklyn. Those are my guys. I didn’t have a problem with him; that wasn’t my beef. That was Puff’s issue. They had a problem with Puff for whatever reason. Scar, Nino and the entire Brooklyn crowd was in Club New York.”
He continued: “I seen them, it was all love but when they started arguing with Puff … I know what these Brooklyn guys are capable of. I know what Scar is capable of. I know what Nino is capable of. I know what happens once these arguments start. Once they start, it becomes a problem — a serious problem. Once he starts talking crazy, yeah, I became afraid for my life.
“Once he says it’s about to happen then it’s about to happen,” he concluded. “I seen somebody reach for a gun and I reached for my weapon and I defended my friends and myself. Cause once he starts firing, once whoever else pulls out a gun and starts firing, it doesn’t stop there.”
HipHopDX has reached out to Diddy’s representatives for comment.
Kind of crazy that Sean was involved in all of the shit that took down Death Row and No Limit and came out unscathed. It’s nice to know scumbags in high places.

JLo was there with Puffy too. So she should know.
By Diddy shooting a gun do you mean another man’s penis?
That’s it. Respekk to the victim for speaking up. Anybody that really know Diddy can’t put what she saying past him. Prosecutors need to bring back da charges and set him straight

So u calm down now it will be ok theirs always other playgrounds u can play in.
Nothing more to say apart from he’s a piece of shit & deserves everything coming to him. Let’s just hope he’s dealt with as he should be.
Anyone remember Puff verse on Let’s Get it? Not Guilty plus I’m Filthy. He said it himself.
7 flats on the same wheel means you may have an issue with the rim on said wheel, and you keep paying for new tires when you need a new riml. That said, wouldn’t shock me if Diddy did pull the trigger.
We all knew that. No surprise.
So shyne didn’t buss the shots or it was shyne and Diddy too?
If it was all Diddy, why the he’ll did shyness take the charge?
Bruh. This info has been available for years. Puff buss the shots, had Shyne get his own lawyer while diddy got his own, surveillance camera footage mysteriously disappears. Shine beefing with puffy for fraiming him. For christs sake, Diddy apologized to Shyne after he did the time which Shyne accepted. We’re in an era now where those with money are no longer untouchable if news breaks out or victims come forth. Back then, cellphones were not even built the way they are now to start capturing footage.
I don’t recall once shyne saying puffy did it not me, ever. Shyne took the hit for it then he had to have gotten paid. Shyne covered for him but why and hiw much?
Shyne did not say anything because he did not want to die. He was afraid. Everyone knew Shyne was not the person. Every one says it was puffy. I heard tar then. And then things got swept under a rug. Puffy set Shyne up to take the fall. Jennifer lopez know it was not Shyne… jennifer quickly got away from Puff and goes ghost
Shyne bust his gun he doesn’t deny that. He didnt say who did what, just kept quiet about that other than ti say he didnt shoot the woman.
It was puffy that shot the woman with his own gun, he then paid everyone off, like the woman says in the interview plus probably many more ppl) so his charges got dropped. While shynes charges didn’t get dropped.
Moreover Diddy shot JFK and Abraham Lincoln, too.
