: MediaTakeOut.com has learned that former Bad Boy rapper Shyne is scheduled to be released from jail after serving eight years of a 10-year sentence for first degree assault and reckless endangerment.

Shyne, real name Jamal Barrow, was convicted over a December 1999 shooting in NYC club - which left a woman with serious facial injuries. Sean “Diddy” Combs, who was also initially charged in the shooting, was acquitted by jury trial. Since Shyne’s conviction, his relationship with Diddy has become significantly strained.

But MediaTakeOut.com has learned that Shyne is VERY close to being released. While he’s due for a parole hearing in June, but his lawyer Oscar Michelen claims he could walk free sooner than expected. He was recently quoted as saying, “We're hoping for April. He's had no problems, [and] been very positive”

stefjay1972

I'm glad he's getting out. My sister and were just talking about how *** did Shyne the other day. I really hope *** knows that you can't make it in this world only looking out for yourself. Sometimes you have to help others, but *** day is coming. Shyne don't kill this fool just let him go down and out like the rest of everybody that is and was on Bad Boyz. Young Joc is the only that had some sense.....HE LEFT ***'S DUMB A*S.


kyle19

I hope he does get out. I hope he gets his career back on track WITHOUT Puffy around. I can't stand Puffy, his ugly son or that IDIOT he keeps poppin' babies with (Kim Porter). Kim is 1 step from being a skeezer & and a superhead-ish chick. Let her grt thirsty...she be writing a book. A baby w/ Al B. Sure then moved on to Puffy, she just a skank.


MadamePC

:/ awkward ... he might not come out as bitter as people think though ... we'll see ...


me-myselfn-i

he was lock up 4 a long time, can't wait for u to come home i think it's time for u to get out


BronzeReign

SHYNE IS THA BEST RAPPER PERIOD!...I HOPE HE MAKES MORE MUSIC AND HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH DIDDY EVER AGAIN!...P. *** IS GOING TO GET WHATS COMING TO HIM AND SOME OF YOU ON HERE ARE RIGHT HE ONLY LOOKED OUT FOR HIMSELF AND SHYNE WAS SUPPOSE TO BE HIS FRIEND!...WE LOVE YOU SHYNE PO STAY REAL!...BTW SHYNE OUTSHYNE'S DIDDY WITHOUT EVEN TRYING!...SHYNE IS BEAUTIFUL....


monique2468

HE WONT DO ANYTHING YET HE DOESNT WANT 2 GO BACK IN


Snacks

He couldn't stay locked forever..He's baaccckkkk!


skyneska

I, personally believe that Shyne took the fall for Diddy and Diddy has made his pronouncement for the care of this man and his family. Don't think for a moment that Shyne taking that gun rap for Diddy - that Diddy didn't do something in exchange for it. If he didn't, he's not much to his boy. I just hope that the dude gets out and then gets himself back on the grind. He had a future and can still have one.


IMSONEGATIVE

ABOUT TIME! CANT WAIT FOR THE DRAMA TO HIT THE FAN! LOL HE NEEDS TO DROP SOME HITS OUT NOW! DISSIN DIDDY! I KNOW IT WOULD BE HOTT!


LuckyS

*** '99 it has been that long??? seem like only yesterday. He is going to beat your *** Diddy lol. No your best bet SHYNE is if and when you see diddy walking downing the street, don't even walk by just cross the street.


LuckyS

skyneska

i second that. most likly Diddy will do all he can to be up that man ***


la_india

happy for him. i'm sure lil' wayne or someone will have something hot for him to release.


GuessJeans

OH NO!!! DIDDY BETTER UP HIS SECURITY AND ENTOURAGE!! SHINE ABOUT TO POP A CAP up in that ***. No wonder he was looking so disturbed the other day lol. Poor diddy.


yummers

THATS WASSUP..I LIKE SHYNE


polkadotskin

UH OH! RUN DIDDY RUN!!!!



Selector

HE KNEW WHAT HE WAS GETTING INTO


TheBrokenSilence

What a ***. I would have snitched on Diddys *** ass. 8 years? Negroes are taking this street no snitching *** to far. But he did do the *** whatever.


CRACKER_DEVIL

Well good luck to Shyne. I hope he can now drop the FAKE GANGSTER image and do something positive with his future! Hopefully the fact that his father,Dean Oliver Barrow is NOW PRIME MINISTER OF BELIZE,he should have opportunities available to him that many others don't have. I don't know many gangster rappers that have a father that's the leader of a entire country. KEEP IT REAL SHYNE AND DON'T MISLEAD THE YOUTH WITH A FAKE IMAGE.


jamericanjames

I hope Didddy hooks him up when he's released. That would be the right thing to do.

FiNALLY JAMAL .. *** MTO YALL KNEW HE WAS COMiN OUT B4 HiS OWN FAM LoL .. GOTTA GO T3LL MOMZ THiZ 1 [BRB]


She_So_Fly

I agree with Cracker_Devil.

Shyne don't need to do anything to Diddy. He just needs to focus on gettin' his life back on track and not ending up locked up again!


SugaHunEIysT

He's scared. Thats why he be spazzin out on the making the band singers. Its cause his nerves are bad.


Ayodeji

I hope he bust Diddy in his sh*t.


ShoeGoddess

*** Shyne coming out with some good tunes, I hope he emerges a much better man with common sense!!!!!

Learn how to handle various situations without violence!!!! DUMB ***


Shamako

The music industry is over. people not checkin for rap like they used to. Besides, he better watch out for Lil Kim's people they tried to kill him twice.


jazzberry778888

who cares, you dont see kenny rogers go after willie nelson.....

burrito wrapper? wtf

lmfao


DQC

he'll prolly try to date diddy. but my diddy aint *** so watch yourself, fakebiggie.


BrowardCountyBoi

@ Cream101 stay sexy baby...

oh yeah i forgot all about this fool



princessof_la

Now that's a real nicca. Fine self. yum!


Crossnation

Shyne is not worrying about P.Shi*ty, but 8 years in prison is nothing to sneeze at.....he should at least cut that dude a check.....but we talking about Puff.......

"I need $30,000......Cause my Money's funny & My Credit won't get it"


flyboy22

so thats the one diddy almost got in trouble with, wow well i bet he will feel like a free man for sure lol


mzarrogance

Diddy probably has this man an apartment/condo and a shiny used car waiting. He know that he threw that boy under the bus.


allahuakbar

shyne might as well charge that to the game, and move on with his life, karma is a *** and puffy is going to get his!


MicG87

GOOD. HOPEFULLY SHYNE WILL SAVE NY CUZ HIP HOP IS DYING THERE.


mythangBIG

gettin released just in time for the recession


zebretete

Dude is very intelligent. I remember the MTV special years ago. Not sure if I recorded it or not. But, I enjoyed his interview and is looking forward to what he's got going on in the future.


The_Princess

LOL @ "Watch Yo Self Diddy".If this man comes out of prison and Diddy is the first thing on his mind he has serious issues.


mzarrogance

@ [EXPLETIVE] Devil - This is AMERICA not Belize. With his father's legal background, he was such a help in having the time served reduced. But again, this is America.

Shyne will simply have to be his own man and get his life in order.


1Mic

Diddy put the blame on Po(shyne) in order to prevent goin to jail,but he aint a snitch so he took the rap for him.Diddy mindset like,better you in jail than me.Diddy should give shyne a few millions for what he had took for him


prchic

Can't wait...Nas was right hip hop is dead maybe Shyne will breathe some life into music once again...


Buff37

Thats good he is getting out but i dont blame diddy 4 his crime, unless he told him 2 start *** and i doubt if thats what happen.


amarefan

Oh wow! I can't believe it's been this long. Good for him. I hope he can get his life back together in the real world after being locked up for so long.


Nik0

Diddy has done a lot of dirty stuff to people...just so he can remain relevant and enjoy his lavish lifestyle im suprised anyone hasn't tested him.........



RedDragon

@CRACKERDEVIL..IT'S NOT REALLY A FAKE IMAGE..I READ THAT PRIME MINISTER FATHER OF HIS DIDN'T HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH HIM...IT'S A SHAME HIS FATHER LET HIM STRUGGLE ON THE STREETS OF NEW YORK...WHAT A DIRTY DAWG!! PLUS THIS CAT TOOK THE FALL FOR DIDDY..HE'S BEEN DONE DIRTY BY A LOT OF FOLKS..I'D BE READY TO KILL SOMEBODY WHILE MY FATHER LIVED THE GOOD LIFE AND I WAS STRUGGLING!

elephant man did run up in big daddy studios and hem that *** up. lol i love diddy but ele smacked him dowwwwnnn!


dreemerz

Believe me Diddy paid that boy real well to take the rap. Their relationship may not be what it is but the fact remains that the time was done by Shyne and he was paid to do so.


DQC

then diddy paid ele to deny that anything happened. lol


mskiki

haha that might explain the look on diddy's face the other day lol


CRACKER_DEVIL

@mzarrogance

Yeah this is America.... AND?!? This is also 2009, where we travel by air sweet heart.Depending on the conditions of his parole or once it's done, he can hop on a plane and go down to Belize. Why would you give a f@ck about living in America like a regular sucker when your pops runs an entire country?? If you think the son of a Prime Minister,even of a "developing country", has to live like some hungry rapper on the come back or let alone a regular American citizen,you are sadly mistaken. The amount of business opportunities that would be available to him would make him a multi-millionaire in a year. F@ck the coonery,the buck dancing and that going on tour *** *** for $30,000 after taxes and expenses! Let's talk global corporate paper,you know gold,diamond and silver mines,iron ore, crude oil etc.


AKeysWannabee

Okay.. I hope Puff Daddy watch his back cuz if I were Shyne, I'd go after his ***... lol


CRACKER_DEVIL

@RedDragon

Ahhhh f@ck all that rap industry," my daddy left mommy and me" *** *** propaganda against Black men, I'm not buying it. HELLO HIS POPS WAS IN BELIZE.His mother brought him to America.Obviously his pops was on point and conducted himself in a decent manner,just look at the success he's had in his life.MOFO'S always wanna come to America to be beauty queens and totally leave behind their cultural principles. He might have been better off staying with his father. Just like,quiet as kept,Biggie's pops was actually a mayor of a town in Jamaica...NOT A DEAD BEAT AS BIGGIE PORTRAYED HIM TO BE in his lyrics,to satisfy his rap industry massas. Go back to Belize Shyne and GET PAID!! The myth of America "the great" is gradually being *** right before our eyes. Get out now!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dean_Barrow


I-Am-Not-Legend

Don't worry Puffy, "Officer Ricky" got your back.


CRACKER_DEVIL

@RedDragon

Oh btw stop saying he took the fall for Diddy. Dude pulled a gun out in a club and fired... PERIOD END OF STORY!! Witnesses saw him do it. Why should Diddy be held accountable for another grown man,more then likely high out of his mind, blasting off a gun in a club like a spoil brat because some other dude threw a drink at his people? All this irrational Diddy hate is pathetic BUT typically Negro.


King_of_Louisiana

LOL Diddy got 2 much money 2 b worried bout Shyne. Stop!



DQC

@ CRACKER_DEVIL,

i think a field trip is in order for these culturally crippled people of america. they really think that life elsewhere is less than lovely when in fact this is the only place where the color of a man's skin is of such great significance that it could speed up the date of his death.

belize is beautiful. the people are beautiful and i don't think he'd miss a thing but being a target. lol


B1GDREAD

i hope shyne is more wiser now, when you get out , dont try to leak diddy life liquid..BLESS

coldwindsblow

If Diddy was smart, he should have BEEN puttin' money on dudes books visiting dude from time to time and makin' sure he straight. Because if he hasn't, he better get security to watch his @ss 24/7 when dude get out.


Girlsluvgems

TANZA

craker_ devil,

***, IM RIDING WITH U. VERY INFORMATIVE!


VinCee

It's highly unlikely that a person that's released early on parole on such a long sentence would threaten anyone. He can't be that stupid. As lawyered up as Diddy is Shyne' PO would be contacted immediately if any threat is percieved.



VinCee

Er, make that "Shyne's PO" and "perceived". I forgot the I before E except after C rule. LOL


majackson

im so glad he is about tho get out. he can put out that heat again.


flench

Kick up P Diddy. Break bread ! You read that book 48 Laws Of Power and it's taught you to step on people to get to a higher place in power. It is now time for your empire to FALL *** sucka !!!!

jimberland

It's crazy how fast time flies. The last several years have been great for Diddy. Oh and for those of yall that were too young to remember, Kelis was Shyne's woman. So he may have some words for Nas too. Hopefully he can get his life back.


diamaganda

sww i been waitin for him to get out diddy did him wrong i cant wait for him to whip dat azz


BigGntl

Diddy gonna pay him when he get's out and his first release will be on BadBoy. Diddy is grimey, but you can't knock the hustle. Shyne know where he gonna get his bread buttered. Aint noone else gonna be able to give him what Diddy owe him.


lilbuddhameditation

good cuz im tellin u diddy got some serious karma comin his way forreal. you dnt do ppl that way and think everythings all good. 10 years of that mans life wasted behind that rat mouth ***! puffy shows us time *** time again that he dont give a *** about nobody but himself

MDL219

Olmec123, I love Uncle Murder. Oh and best believe Shyne is going to get at him, but on wax, every radio and magazine is going to want him to do a story about diddy and how he feels about it.
