Shyne Denounces ‘Repugnant Behavior’ Of Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs
After a video of Combs Global CEO Sean “Diddy” Combs assaulting former Bad Boy artist and girlfriend, Cassie was revealed on May 17, the severity of his actions has been met with criticism from many. In a social media post released on May 19, former rapper, Moses Michael Levi Barrow better known as Shyne released a statement denouncing the “repugnant behavior” of his former co-defendant.
Shyne, who was born Jamal Michael Barrow before converting to Judaism while he was in prison, was with Diddy at Club New York in New York City when both men were accused of firing weapons in the venue striking three partygoers. Although Diddy was acquitted of the charges filed against both men, Shyne was found guilty and sentenced to 10 years in prison.
The Belize Opposition Leader took to his Instagram account to make a statement about the released video.
“I vehemently denounce the repugnant behavior of Sean Diddy Combs captured on the video in which he is seen physically assaulting Mrs Cassie Ventura-Fine.
“There is no place for Violence against Women anywhere on the planet. As a father of a precious daughter, a global citizen and the next Prime Minister of Belize I want absolutely nothing to do with people who engage in this pattern of diabolical behavior.
“My prayers are with Cassie and all the other victims who have come forward with horrendous allegations against Mr Combs.
“Hon. Dr. Shyne Barrow
Opposition Leader

According to AllHipHop, Shyne felt vindicated after one of the Club New York shooting victims, Natania Reid stated that it was Diddy who shot her and not Shyne. Shyne has previously said and testified in court that he fired his gun in the air.
“I’ve been saying this all along,” Shyne said in an interview with Channel 5 Belize. “Everyone knew all along that I was the fall guy. I maintained my innocence all this time. I said I was defending myself. I didn’t get into who did what.”
