In a move to ensure accuracy, Sean "Diddy" Combs has issued a cease-and-desist letter regarding an upcoming ESPN Andscape documentary on former Bad Boy artist Shyne. The documentary, set to air on November 18th, features Shyne alleging that he took the fall for Diddy in a high-profile 1999 nightclub shooting incident.
According to the article, the 1999 incident involved Diddy, Shyne (born Jamal Barrow), and Jennifer Lopez. Shyne was convicted of assault and reckless endangerment, serving eight years in prison, while Diddy was acquitted of all charges. In the documentary, Shyne reflects that he was the "fall guy" for the rap mogul, stating "When I said it [at the time], everyone was partying and having a great time with Diddy while I was left to rot in prison."
However, Diddy's representatives have strongly denied Shyne's claims, stating: "Mr. Combs categorically denies Mr. Barrow's allegations, including any suggestion that he orchestrated Mr. Barrow to 'take the fall' or 'sacrificed' him by directing witnesses to testify against him. These claims are unequivocally false."
This is not the first time Shyne has spoken out about his relationship with Diddy. In a recent appearance on The Breakfast Club, Shyne revealed that he once attempted to spit in Diddy's face when he visited him in jail. Shyne also said that Diddy gave him $50,000 as an attempt at reconciliation, which Shyne felt was not enough compensation for the 10 years he spent in prison.
Shyne has also been vocal about his feelings towards Diddy on other occasions. In an interview on the Stephen A. Smith Show, Shyne stated that he thinks Diddy is "the devil" and highlighted what he believes caused their relationship to break down, including Diddy's "offensive contributions over the last 20 years" and refusal to pay reparations.
It's clear that the relationship between Diddy and Shyne remains contentious, with both parties presenting differing accounts of the events surrounding the 1999 nightclub shooting. As the documentary is set to air, it will be interesting to see how this long-standing feud continues to unfold.
