Rapper Who Spent 10 Years in Jail for Diddy Finally Speaks: “I was absolutely set up to be the fall guy”

Share

Shyne Barrow was an up and coming rapper when he went to Club New York in 1999 with P Diddy aka Sean Puffy Combs and Jennifer Lopez.

After a wild shooting, and a trial, Barrow went to jail for ten years. Diddy went scot-free.

Now Barrow tells his story in “The Honorable Shyne,” coming to Hulu. He says, “I was absolutely set up to be the fall guy.”

Barrow’s story has a happy ending. He became a respected politician in Belize. But still, he lost a decade of his life because of Combs. The timing of this documentary is essential as Combs sits in jail waiting for a trial that won’t start until May 2025. He’s been hit with dozens of lawsuits and hundreds of accusations concerning rape of men, women, and children. Every day brings new and alarming revelations for the former music mogul.
