Shyne Alleges He Spat In Diddy’s Face And Almost Sued Him Over Club Shooting

November 18, 2024 by newhiphopnews

While Diddy waits for more updates in his federal case for alleged sex trafficking, Shyne continues to launch a lot of allegations against him. His more recent appearance was on The Breakfast Club, where he told folks that he once almost spat in Sean Combs’ face when he went to visit him in prison and almost sued him, as well. Moreover, for those unaware, the Belizean artist and politician claims that his Bad Boy boss turned him into the “fall guy” for a 1999 club shooting that resulted in the former serving almost nine years in jail. In addition, he’s promoting his new Honorable Hulu documentary, talking about the Puff Daddy situation and explaining how he feels betrayed.

But some don’t believe Shyne’s allegations about Diddy, including Funk Flex. “Now, Shyne, I see you being careful with your words, too,” the DJ remarked on-air during his Saturday night (November 16) program on Hot 97. “You’re tippy-toeing ’cause you don’t want me full blast on your face. […] Listen. You should get a bag of money for a bag of lies. I’m okay with that, bro. I’ma tell you, Shyne – punk. That’s what you are. You’re a punk.”

Meanwhile, here’s what Diddy had to say about these allegations from Shyne via a statement from his representative. “Mr. Combs categorically denies Mr. Barrow’s [Shyne’s] allegations, including any suggestion that he orchestrated Mr. Barrow to ‘take the fall‘ or ‘sacrificed’ him by directing witnesses to testify against him,” the statement read. “These claims are unequivocally false. Mr. Combs was acquitted of all charges related to the 1999 Club New York incident and has consistently maintained his innocence. He cannot accept or condone any characterization of his actions as ‘demonic’ or ‘malicious.’

“Mr. Combs appreciates the path Mr. Barrow has pursued and wishes him continued success,” Diddy’s statement about the Shyne allegations continued. “It is unfortunate that Mr. Barrow has chosen to revisit these allegations. Mr. Combs trusts that responsible journalism will weigh both the established legal outcomes and Mr. Combs’ positive, longstanding support for those he has worked with.” It looks like neither side will budge on their assessment of the tale, so we can expect this feud to continue.

Funk Flex Goes Scorched Earth On Shyne Over His Claims Against Diddy And The 1999 Shooting

November 17, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Shyne is busy promoting his new Hulu documentary, and ruffled a lot of feathers in the process by talking about the 1999 club shooting involving him and Diddy that landed him in jail for almost nine years. For those unaware, the former rapper and politician claims that he was a scapegoat in that case, with shooting victim Natania Reuben also pointing the blame at Sean Combs. This didn’t sit well with some folks in the media, namely Funk Flex. He claimed that the Belizean artist and public official lied about the whole thing, and then the former Bad Boy signee downplayed these comments by telling TMZ that the legendary DJ had bad-mouthed legends like Jay-Z and 2Pac, so he isn’t taking him seriously.

“Now, Shyne, I see you being careful with your words, too,” Funk Flex said on-air about the Diddy allegations, responding directly to the Leader of the Opposition in Belize during his Saturday night (November 16) program on Hot 97. “You’re tippy-toeing ’cause you don’t want me full blast on your face. […] Listen. You should get a bag of money for a bag of lies. I’m okay with that, bro. I’ma tell you, Shyne – punk. That’s what you are. You’re a punk.”

All in all, this situation became too vague and contentious for anyone to make a solid judgement call, especially since a conviction already emerged. But regardless of Funk Flex’s retorts, Shyne firmly stands by his side of the 1999 Diddy club shooting story. Some of his most recent claims include the allegation that he never received any sort of money or compensation for allegedly becoming “the fall guy” in that trial. Take these narratives with a grain of salt, as the Bad Boy mogul denied these accusations.

“Mr. Combs categorically denies Mr. Barrow’s [Shyne’s] allegations, including any suggestion that he orchestrated Mr. Barrow to ‘take the fall’ or ‘sacrificed’ him by directing witnesses to testify against him,” Diddy’s representative stated to TMZ Hip Hop. Will we ever get an answer to these questions and find out what’s really going on? Probably not. After all, there are more pressing matters…

Shyne Claims Diddy Never Offered Him Money To Be The Alleged Scapegoat For Club Shooting

November 16, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Shyne is airing out all his grievances and reflections regarding the 1999 club shooting that involved Diddy and landed the Bad Boy artist in jail. He continues to allege that his boss made him a scapegoat in this case and threw him under the bus when he’s the one who should’ve been guilty. The rapper and politician went on The Stephen A. Smith Show to promote his upcoming Hulu documentary and also elaborate on these allegations. Specifically, he posited that Sean Combs never offered him any compensation or support when he allegedly took the fall that he shouldn’t have had to take.

“In my words, I said so many years ago back in 2001,” Shyne said of the Diddy situation. “It was me talking about not snitching on Diddy and not getting him in trouble to get myself out of trouble. I said that 20-odd years ago. I’ve always maintained in every interview I did until recently when I healed and I moved on and I forgave, but for years I was saying what a creep I thought he was and how he destroyed my life and at one point, I thought he was the devil. But because of the power of Diddy, which is so loud as far as a pop culture icon, nobody listened. So I moved on. And I pivoted my life to healing, to forgiveness and to taking accountability for what I can control. And I can’t control what someone did to me decades ago.

“I can’t control them not wanting to pay reparations, not wanting to make it right,” Shyne continued. “People say, ‘Oh, Diddy gave me millions to go to jail.’ Nothing! Probably made two what I thought were offensive contributions over the last 20-something years, which led to a breakdown in the relations. But I moved on. So yes, was I the sacrificial lamb? Of course. Did I take the fall? Yes. There was no quid pro quo. There was not, ‘Listen, we’re gonna have $10 million waiting for you when you come out,’ or just do the right thing. I did that on my own. I’ve been saying that, it’s not anything new.”

“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,” Diddy’s team stated to Billboard concerning Shyne’s claims. “These claims are unequivocally false. Mr. Combs was acquitted of all charges related to the 1999 Club New York incident and has consistently maintained his innocence. He cannot accept or condone any characterization of his actions as ‘demonic’ or malicious. Mr. Combs appreciates the path Mr. Barrow has pursued and wishes him continued success. It is unfortunate that Mr. Barrow has chosen to revisit these allegations. Mr. Combs trusts that responsible journalism will weigh both the established legal outcomes and Mr. Combs’ positive, longstanding support for those he has worked with.”

Diddy Slams Shyne In Response To Former Bad Boy Artist Calling Him “Demonic”

November 14, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Shyne is hard at work promoting his upcoming Hulu documentary, which releases on Monday (November 18), and is dragging Diddy through the mud while doing so. The former Bad Boy artist and rapper – plus politician – had a lot of interviews recently, such as with Stephen A. Smith and with Good Morning America, in which he talks about how Sean Combs allegedly made him a scapegoat in a 1999 club shooting case. Now, according to TMZ, the Bad Boy mogul has reportedly responded to these allegations via a statement from a legal representative that the outlet reportedly obtained. It slams the accusations that the Belizean multi-hyphenate was a “sacrificial lamb” in a “demonic” scheme.

“Mr. Combs categorically denies Mr. Barrow’s [Shyne’s] allegations, including any suggestion that he orchestrated Mr. Barrow to ‘take the fall‘ or ‘sacrificed’ him by directing witnesses to testify against him,” Diddy’s representative reportedly relayed to TMZ Hip Hop. “These claims are unequivocally false. Mr. Combs was acquitted of all charges related to the 1999 Club New York incident and has consistently maintained his innocence. He cannot accept or condone any characterization of his actions as ‘demonic’ or ‘malicious.’ Mr. Combs appreciates the path Mr. Barrow has pursued and wishes him continued success. It is unfortunate that Mr. Barrow has chosen to revisit these allegations. Mr. Combs trusts that responsible journalism will weigh both the established legal outcomes and Mr. Combs’ positive, longstanding support for those he has worked with.”

However, not everyone believes Shyne’s theory that Diddy set him up as a fall guy in that 1999 shooting case. For example, Funk Flex blasted him for running with this accusation, alleging that he’s totally misrepresenting the situation for his personal gain.

Meanwhile, that’s not the only claim that got Shyne in hot water recently, as some folks raised their eyebrows at his sincere congratulations to Donald Trump for winning the election for president of the United States. Considering how controversial of a figure Trump is, a lot of folks think that he should stay focused on Diddy, instead. But the Belizean artist and politician’s former boss isn’t having any of it.

Shyne Breaks Silence On Diddy Arrest

September 19, 2024 by newhiphopnews

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.

“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 l i fe. 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.”

Shyne Nightclub Shooting Victim Says Diddy Is Responsible For Her Life-Changing 1999 Injuries

March 28, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Sean “Diddy” Combs is learning the hard way these past few months that what’s done in the dark will always find a way to shine. Still, the Bad Boy mogul’s legal team continues to deny any rumoured wrongdoing on his behalf, even as all his alleged former skeletons fall out of the closet. Among them is a 1999 incident at a nightclub that led to the arrest of Jamal “Shyne” Barrow, Jennifer Lopez, and her then-beau Diddy, which the former ultimately served 10 years in prison for. As News Nation reports, the music executive was taken into custody on weapons charges at the time, and in 2008, victim Natania Reuben filed a $130M lawsuit for compensation against Combs. By summer 2011 they settled, though the survivor continues to insist it was Combs who shot her.

“I am the woman who he shot in the face in that Dec. 27, 1999, Club New York shooting. I have told everyone, ad nauseam, since then. I watched him fire the gun,” she shared on social media in February. More recently, she spoke with reporter Elizabeth Vargas about the situation. “I didn’t have any reason to believe that someone wouldn’t believe me. But as things unfolded, it was a very short period of time where I realized that’s what was happening,” the courageous woman shared.

Natania Reuben Speaks Her Truth Regarding Diddy Shyne Nightclub Shooting

Elsewhere, Reuben says she’s feeling “extremely emotional” amid the latest reports of Diddy’s homes being raided across the country. “It’s been basically a quarter of a century since this occurred, and I’ve had to re-live this over and over again,” the woman vented. “When I saw [the raids], it felt really cathartic because I finally feel like justice is being done.”

As authorities and internet sleuths continue to unravel the tangled web of Diddy’s many allegations, the latter is having a field day with the latest news about Yung Miami. According to the Lil Rod lawsuit, the City Girl was on her former Papi’s payroll as a sex worker, along with 50 Cent’s baby mama Daphne Joy. Read all about that at the link below, and let us know what you think is next for Sean Combs in the comments.

Blueface To Pay $13 Million In Vegas Strip Club Shooting Damages: Report

October 23, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Blueface is a man of many talents, businesses, lanes, industries, antics, and a whole lot of Internet exposure. If you’re not reading about his mother’s latest rant or feud with him, and it’s not his baby mama drama either, you’re probably checking out a piece about a wild take of his within the realm of pop culture. What you’re reading right now, though, is something that could really stop the rapper in his tracks. Moreover, according to legal documents obtained by TMZ Hip Hop, a judge ordered him to pay $13 million in damages over a 2022 Las Vegas strip club shooting that the court found him guilty of. For those unaware, the venue in question, Euphoric Gentlemen’s Club, sued the Cali MC for allegedly ruining their business and won this new summary judgement.

Furthermore, he actually got probation in this case, which is a lucky break to say the least. However, it’s unclear how Blueface will respond to all this because he wasn’t even there to witness or challenge the motion. Not only that, but this civil case doesn’t list that he has an attorney, so we don’t know if he will want to appeal. Either way, this is a whole lot of money for the “BDD” artist to cough up, and we’re sure that he’s not feeling too happy about this.

What’s more is that the payment itself isn’t entirely one-sided; he has a few different complications to answer for. To break it down, Blueface’s damages bill overwhelmingly comprises of compensation for lost revenue, which totals $12.9 million in this case. In addition, he must pay $198K in lease damages, $84K in payroll expenses to the club’s employees after it shut down in November of last year, and a couple other considerations. With all this in mind, the 26-year-old received orders to take care of a lot of loose ends in this case following a guilty verdict.

Meanwhile, he got a suspended sentence thanks to his plea deal in this case. That translates to only three years of probation and no time behind bars if the MILF Music label boss keeps clean and proper in his movement. Surely, we will get a reaction to all this very, very soon. On that note, stay logged into HNHH for more news and the latest updates on Blueface.
