Shyne Describes the Ways Diddy Destroyed Shyne’s Life

On Wednesday (Sept. 19), Shyne spoke to News 5 Belize during a press conference following Diddy's arrest and indictment earlier this week. In the video below, the politician, who is now the leader of the Opposition in the Belize House of Representatives, recalled being incarcerated for a 1999 club shooting that involved Puff, for which Shyne claims he was the fall-guy. Although he's forgiven Diddy for the incident, he says the disgraced music mogul ruined his life. Shyne revealed that he let bygones be bygones for the betterment of Belize. The former Bad Boy Records artist's arrest in the late 1990s ultimately damaged his rap career.

"I was defending him and he turned around and called witnesses to testify against me. And he contributed. He pretty much sent me to prison," Shyne expressed. "So that is the context by which you must always describe that relationship. Yes, I forgave. I moved on. But let us not pretend as if I was in Miami for Thanksgiving and Christmas. I went again to do a charity event for the impoverished youth in London."

"So let us not lose sight of what the cold hard facts are. This was not someone who I vacationed with or someone I enjoyed this great, intimate relationship of brotherhood with. This is someone who destroyed my life and who I forgave and moved on and for the better interest of Belize because he was in a position at that time to give scholarships and maybe invest," he continued.

Spotlight on Sapphira Cristál

“After Hours” is a fierce, high-fashion house anthem that drips with attitude, seduction, and runway energy. Opening with a spoken-word moment in a commanding deep voice reminiscent of Kevin Aviance or Right Said Fred, the track transforms into a dancefloor sermon of power and pleasure. With thumping beats, sultry vocals, and lines that shimmer with confidence (Steppin’ out in a 613 ... my look so puss, so clean’), Sapphira Cristál delivers a declaration of glamour and groove. Already building…See More
