![Shyne Tears Into Diddy After Sex Trafficking Arrest: '[He] Destroyed My Life'](https://hiphopdx.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/shyne-says-diddy-destroyed-his-life-after-sex-trafficking-racketeering-arrest.jpg?w=860)
Shyne has blamed Diddy for ruining his life while reacting to the news of the federal charges against his former label boss.
The ex-Bad Boy rapper turned politician was asked about the sex trafficking and racketeering case against Puffy during a press conference in his native Belize on Wednesday (September 18).
Shyne (real name Moses Barrow) answered by airing out his long-standing isses with Diddy, stemming from the 1999 New York City nightclub shooting that saw the Bad Boy boss walk free and Shyne spend almost a decade in prison.
“When I was an 18-year-old kid just wanting to do nothing other than make my mother proud and make Belize proud and do what all of us want to do — be recognized for our talent and take over the world — I was defending him [Diddy] and he turned around and called witnesses to testify against me,” he said.
“He pretty much sent me to prison […] Yes, I forgave, I moved on. But let us not pretend as if I was in Miami for Thanksgiving and Christmas […] This is not someone who I vacationed with and [with] whom I enjoyed this great, intimate relationship of brotherhood. This is someone who destroyed my life and who I forgave.”
Shyne, who is the leader of the opposition in Belize, explained that he forgave Diddy for the betterment of his home country given the financial support the rap mogul could offer.
“He was in a position at that time to give scholarships and to maybe invest. I would not deny attempting to bring the investment to Belize and to bring the contributions to education,” he continued.
Despite holding Diddy accountable for ruining his life, Shyne said he doesn’t “take any joy or any satisfaction with what he is going through,” adding: “I am different than maybe other people. No one needs to fail for me to succeed.”
The 1999 shooting involving Diddy and Shyne previously made headlines in February when the victim, Natalia Reuben, claimed that the Bad Boy founder paid off the nightclub where it happened.
“I am the woman he shot in the face in that December 27, 1999 Club New York shooting,” she said in a video posted on social media. “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 9mm hollow-point bullet called a cop killer.
“I literally told everyone and never changed what I said. 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 M.O.”
Reuben, who received nearly $2 million in a settlement at the time from Diddy, also accused the record executive of attempting to flatten her car as a means of intimidation.
Shyne had to take the fall for dude shooting up the club. If only JLo would tell the world how she had to run with Puffy that night. Lol.
Sometimes God’s judgement is swift and sometimes He takes His time, but in the end God always win!
Yes, Drake always wins because he’s a God and it’s part of his plan to eventually smash my bussy
Please stop Drake is just as bad
Lol! Hail Satan
Astaghfirullah. You are clearly a low level witch who knows nothing of satan, or a bigger fool who knows nothing at all.
You are exactly like the silly witches in the theatre behind me laughing when they watched that movie exposing them.
Salaam/Peace Shalom to all the real.
Shyne ruined his own life. He was a grown ass man. No one forced him to gun clap in a crowded nightclub. No one told him to take the fall. He made those thug choices. He served his thug sentence.
So you’re disregarding what the victim said. You sound smart
Moron, can you read? He did t do the shooting. Puffy did the shooting. Shyne took the fall/ was setup. I’d hardly call an 18 year old a grown ass man.
@Hmmm The only moron is your mother for not spitting you out. A simple google search would inform you that Shyne also fired his gun. He himself said he fired in the air in self defense. And another witness said she saw BOTH Shyne and Diddy fire guns in that club. That’s what made it possible for him to take the fall for Diddy in the first place, you big dumb ass.
@Pk And you sound dumb. Because you’re disregarding the fact the victim never said Shyne didn’t fire his gun. In fact witnesses state that they saw Shyne firing a gun too. All this particular victim said is that Combs is the one who shot her.
But you still hung around him after the fact knowing all this and now that he’s in trouble that he can’t buy his way out of now you want to claim he’s the bad guy again. Not buying it.
TRY TO READ THE FULL ARTICLE DEADBEAT
Shyne explained that he forgave Diddy for the betterment of his home country given Diddy was in a position at that time to give scholarships & bring the investment to Belize.
Oh so that makes it facts? That’s called he said, she said nonsense dumbass.
Since when should we believe a criminal turned politician? Especially a right wing politician. Fuck Shyne.
Huh! Ooh No boy boy.. Okay then keep riding Diddy Dick.. get blind to facts n exhibiting dumb hate 😏
AIDs is coming
@mac Facts. And he’ give zero fucks about the Palestinians.
@gem lord, oh no, we have a true humanitarian here fellas! Did you also stop buying all goods from China? Did you self produce your phone or computer at home? China has been committing ethnic genocide for decades, as well as enslaving people. Don’t pretend to be virtuous if you knowingly spend money on products from countries that clearly do evil things.
Just because diddy paid police off doesn’t mean shyne is innocent. He also fired some shots that day.
But dude didn’t shoot anyone.
I dont like the way P Doddy, did Shyne, with different lawyers. – Nas
“Tears into” as a headline is either a hilarious joke or a poor choice of words…
Then why. Go. Around. Him. AGAIN??!
See this is why it took so long in the first place, bunch of people hanging around, FRONTING, looking for money or opportunity smh
Shyne had to take the fall for the gun that Puffy used that was found in their vehicle. That’s what it’s all about. He was young and under dude’s influence and money. He thought that was the gangsta thing to do.
Then why did he get back with diddy when he visited Belize way back. Hypocrite
