Cousins! It’s been a couple of decades since the tragic club shooting in New York City where a woman was brutally shot. Though years have passed one thing remains the same, Shyne continues to maintain his innocence!
Appearing in an interview with Channel 5 Belize, the former rapper addressed the tragic incident that left three individuals injured, at a Manhattan located nightclub that involved him and Diddy.
According to Complex, both Shyne and the Bad Boy CEO were arrested and charged in connection to the shooting. Ultimately Diddy acquitted on weapon charges and Shyne was sentenced to ten years behind bars.
Fast forward to more recent days, Diddy has been under much scrutiny as his name continues to circulate in the media for allegations assault, sex trafficking and more.
“It opens wounds when you hear, you know, the victim saying that, you know, it was Diddy that shot her,” Shyne said to Channel 5.
“And that was triggered by a lawsuit from a producer [Lil Rod] that produced on the Love Album who is making accusations and in those accusations, he says that the gentleman confessed to the shooting.”
Shyne also expressed that though he is interested in moving forward with his life he is happy that the truth is beginning to circulate.
“Everyone knew all along that I was the fall guy,” he added. “But my political enemies and, you know, detractors try to make me into, you know, this criminal. But everyone knew that I was a young kid that took the fall. Everyone knew that, that was the story. I’m just saying that I maintained my innocence all this time.”
“… I didn’t get into who did what, but the victim is telling you who did what and I understand that there are other witnesses,” Shyne explained.
“Fragments were never removed so there was never any forensic testing to say who it was, but the victims are vindicating me. Witnesses are vindicating me, but I have moved on, I am not trying to relive that.
“And so, I am appreciative of whatever contributions that Diddy has made to help the people of Belize. I wish him well and I pray for him, and I pray for the alleged victims. And if it is true, may justice be served and if it’s not, it’s a tragedy because a global icon would have been destroyed.”
Shyne has turned his life around since his time in prison and is now the head of the Belize United Democratic Party.
