Moses ‘Shyne’ Barrow Reacts To Diddy’s Sex Trafficking Charges

Bad Boy rapper-turned-Leader of the Opposition in the Belize House of Representatives, Moses “Shyne” Barrow, has weighed in on his deeply embattled former boss and mentor, Sean “Diddy” Combs, who was arrested and held without bond earlier this week on racketeering and sex trafficking charges.

Honestly, a lot of people were probably waiting to hear what Shyne had to say about all of this, because, well, a lot of people blame Diddy for what many see as his unjust incarceration — including Shyne, apparently.

During a press conference, LoveFM Belize reports that he said Diddy “sent him to prison,” which is not so shocking.

Shyne said he “forgave” Diddy and “moved on,” but added, “Let us not pretend as if I was in Miami for Thanksgiving and Christmas.”

Shyne was charged with assault and sentenced to 10 years in prison in June 2001 following a shooting at a nightclub in NYC where Diddy and his then-girlfriend, Jennifer Lopez, were in attendance. Lopez, Diddy, and his bodyguard walked away with no charges that night while Shyne, who has maintained that he never shot anyone, ended up incarcerated.

Incidentally, the victim in the shooting, Natania Reuben, who has long claimed it was Diddy who shot her in the face, celebrated the Bad Boy mogul’s arrest and spoke about it in an interview with the Daily BeastWednesday, saying she “screamed out to God, ‘Thank you, merciful father!’” after her daughter alerted her to the news.

Anyway, during the press conference, Shyne pushed back on reporters who questioned him about his relationship with Diddy since he’s been out of prison and exclaimed that his life was “destroyed” by the 54-year-old.
