Shyne Breaks Silence On Diddy Arrest

Former Bad Boy artist (and current Leader of the Opposition in Belize’s House of Representatives) Shyne has finally spoken out about Diddy’s arrest. Moreover, he made some statements to the press about their complicated history together, given that Sean Combs was part of the reason why he went to jail in 1999 for a club shooting. However, it seems like the politician is separating their relationship from his thoughts on his current situation.

“When I was an 18-year-old kid just wanting to do nothing other than make my mother proud and make Belize proud and do what all of us want to do: be recognized for our talent and take over the world, I was defending him and he turned around and called witnesses to testify against me,” Shyne expressed during a press interview. “He pretty much sent me to prison. So that is the context by which you must always describe that relationship. Yes, I forgave. I moved on. But let us not pretend.

Shyne Speaks On Diddy

“I went to do a charity event for impoverished youth in London,” Shyne continued about Diddy. “So let us not lose sight of what the cold, hard facts are. This was not someone who I vacationed with and who he and I enjoyed this great, intimate relationship of brotherhood. This is someone who destroyed my life and who I forgave and who I moved on for the better interest of Belize. Because he was in a position at that time to give scholarships and to maybe invest.

“I would not deny attempting to bring the investment to Belize and to bring the contributions to education to Belize,” Shyne concluded about reconciling with Diddy. “But don’t distort it as if he and I were [close]. This is someone that destroyed my life. But do I take any joy or any satisfaction with what he is going through? Absolutely not. I am different than, maybe, other people. No one needs to fail for me to succeed. No one needs to suffer. […] Oh, my goodness. I have nothing to do with Sean Combs’ personal life, no interaction of that level. That was strictly on a professional level.”

Diddy’s Super Bowl Commercial Highlights Past Catchy Hits

Diddy’s Super Bowl commercial for UberEats ended up being one of the funniest this year. Moreover, the skit is based on a group of executives trying to get Diddy to make a new song for the Uber One membership. “Diddy don’t do jingles,” his threatening bodyguard tells them, as he sits in silence in his office. However, the commercial then goes into the studio, where Combs and his entourage listen to prospective hitmakers. In fact, they’re all bonafide hitmakers, as you’re bound to recognize all these tracks. Even if they fit slightly into the “one-hit wonder” category, these melodies are more far-reaching than some entire discographies.

Still, it was pretty funny seeing the Bad Boy chief give his take on these “auditions.” Starting things off was singer-turned-minister Montrell Jordan, who rapped a UberEats-centric version of his 1995 hit “This Is How We Do It.” Moreover, Diddy cheered on everyone in the booth- well, almost everyone, but we’ll get to that. Next up was Donna Lewis, who spun her 1996 cut “I Love You Always Forever.” Also, singer-turned-farmer Kelis sang a remixed version of her iconic track “Milkshake” from 2003. Don’t remember that one? Well, it brings all the boys to the yard, and they’re like “it’s better than yours.”

However, once Swedish duo Ylvis hit the booth with a rendition of their YouTube sensation “What Does The Fox Say?”, Diddy asked them to stop their repeated barking. Then, they retorted in Swedish, and the mogul’s right-hand man responded perfectly back. Last, but certainly not least, singer Haddaway emerged from behind Ylvis to sing his absolute smasher “What Is Love.” Overall, it was a nostalgic, brief, and sweet celebration of some of the biggest earworms of the last thirty years or so.

Meanwhile, the 53-year-old took to Twitter to share his excitement over his second Super Bowl commercial. “Proud to be starring in my second #SuperBowl commercial! Watch it tonight during the 2nd quarter!” he wrote. Also, his flame Yung Miami expressed support of her own via the app. “Papi only does HITS,” she wrote excitedly, sharing the commercial in full. Speaking of which, you can see the whole UberEats commercial from Diddy above. Of course, stay logged into HNHH for the latest on the Super Bowl and its amazing commercials.
