Here’s What Shyne Barrow Said About Her Former Boss’ Arrest
Speaking to his hometown press this week, Shyne made it clear that he wasn’t happy about anyone’s downfall. However, he stressed that Diddy was also the one who “ruined” his life. The politician shared that at the time, he was “just a kid,” trying to make his mother and Belize proud while also trying to gain recognition for his talent.
“I have protected [Diddy] and he turned around and called witnesses to testify against me and he almost put me in jail. So that’s the context in which you always have to describe that relationship. Yes, I’ve forgiven, I’ve moved on, but let’s not pretend like I’m in Miami for Thanksgiving and Christmas… Let’s not forget what the cold, hard facts are. This is not the guy that I went on vacation with and he and I had this wonderful, close brotherly relationship. This is the guy that ruined my life.”
Shyne Barrow added that he might have considered accepting resources from Combs to benefit his country. But again, he made it clear that Diddy ruined his life. Swipe below to see everything Shyne said below.
The former rapper spoke out about Diddy’s lawsuit earlier this year
Today, Barrow is the Leader of the Opposition in the Belize House of Representatives. However, in the late 1990s, he performed rap songs like ‘Bad Boyz’ as Shyne, a Bad Boy artist.
Then, on December 27, 1999, a fight broke out at Club New York in NYC. Shyne, Diddy, and his then-girlfriend Jennifer Lopez were all in the building. Ultimately, three bystanders were wounded by gunfire. Diddy and J. Lo reportedly fled the scene, but police later arrested them after a pursuit and a concealed weapon found in their car. The charges against Lopez were later dropped, and Diddy was acquitted in 2001.
Meanwhile, Shyne Barrow, who was 21 when the shooting occurred, was convicted of assault and sentenced to 10 years in prison. After Shyne was released in 2009, the United States deported him to Belize, a country he is believed to have left when he was seven years old. Earlier this year, Barrow told the Belize press that “everyone has known for a long time that [he] is the guilty one.”
Earlier this year, the former rapper penned an open letter in support of Diddy’s “victims.” His statement came after CNN released 2016 surveillance footage of Combs assaulting Cassie in a hotel hallway.
