Former Bad Boy Records rapper Shyne has accused Sean “Diddy” Combs of ruining his life and career, following the music mogul’s arrest.
“This is someone who destroyed my life, and I forgave him and moved on,” Shyne stated during a press conference with Belizean media.
Shyne, now a Belizean politician, alleged Diddy framed his defense in the 1999 NYC club shooting, leading to his nearly 10-year prison sentence. His debut album in 2000 achieved moderate success on the Billboard charts, but his career was cut short due to incarceration.
Shyne described his relationship with Diddy as “purely transactional,” leveraging their connection to boost Belize’s economy. When asked about attending Diddy’s infamous “Freak Offs,” Shyne denied involvement, sparking laughter. “I take no joy in Diddy’s downfall.”
The 42-year-old rapper-turned-politician is now focused on his political career as Leader of the Opposition in Belize’s House of Representatives, advocating for education, healthcare, and economic growth.
Shyne made these comments during a press conference held as Diddy was denied bail.
