Last week the Shyne documentary premiered on Hulu.
Now Bad Boy Entertainment CEO, Sean 'Diddy' Combs, has filed a cease and desist...
From Page Six
Sean “Diddy” Combs has sent a cease-and-desist letter over a new documentary about his onetime protégé, Shyne.
A source said that Diddy is not trying to block the release of the film — but was looking to “ensure” that the facts were straight after Shyne alleged that he took the fall for Diddy over an infamous case 25 years ago.
A rep for the film — made by ESPN’s Andscape — did not immediately comment. But sources close to Diddy as well as the film confirmed that the cease-and-desist had been sent.
Born Jamal Barrow, Shyne was infamously at a Manhattan nightclub in 1999 with his pal and boss, Diddy, and the Bad Boy Records founder’s then-gal pal, Jennifer Lopez.
An altercation broke out between Combs and another man when guns were drawn, shots were fired and three bystanders were injured. Shyne and Combs went on trial in 2001, but only his protégé was convicted of assault and reckless endangerment.
Shyne, who is now a politician in Belize, served eight years in jail.
In the new doc, Shyne says Combs’ ways are now “coming to light,” and that he thinks he was the “fall guy” for the Sean John founder. “Because when I said it [at the time], everyone was partying and having a great time with Diddy while I was left to rot in prison,” he says in the film that follows his journey from a short-lived rapping career to becoming a politician.
He previously told The Post of his conviction: “I grew up [being told] to not get my friends in trouble. And that’s what it really boiled down to, integrity about character.”
He said in an interview promoting the film that he believed he was protecting Diddy, but claims the hitmaker, “got witnesses to testify against me, to say that basically I was this uncontrollable person that was acting in a depraved manner, which was the furtherest from the truth.”
He said he did not want to, “break the code of honor, which is that you don’t get people in trouble.”

Don't get people in trouble is politician speak for SNITCHING. He really has turned the page. I guess he was scared back then too but I'm really getting tired of all these after the fact revelations. I'm sure money and power plays a role but maybe fewer people would have been victimized if some of these insider folks spoke up sooner. Now everybody and they mama got a story to tell for the right price.
OFF TOPIC A BIT:
TALK THAT PUF COULD BE RELEASED TO HIS LUXURY PENTHOUSE IN NYC'S UES UNTIL HIS TRIAL BEGINS IN SPRING 2025. THE JUDGE IS REPORTEDLY MULLING IT OVER BEFORE A RULING.
Boy bye! Focus on getting bailed out.
Shyne did 10 years 2 protect Sean. He never paid him for his artistry. Let Shyne make cash off of him
SHYNE DID 10 YEARS 2 PROTECT SHYNE, IF FUNK FLEX IS TO BE BELIEVED, & I AGREE.
His time is now. We don't know what's in our future but if you keep moving forward and follow your passion in life you'll find your way. He has a very inspirational story to his life. He didn't give up. Now for me, I would tell everything. I'm not going to jail for nobody.
Why should Combs control the narrative?
Dirty Diddy doing way too much behind bars.
Let Shine speak his truth.
^ Clearly like his ancients he dont know what his truth is.
Shyne Has a Weird OBAMA Fetish.
Shyne definitely has a story to tell
👀👀
Shyne Shyne Shyne.
Using my Dolomite voice.
Saw it already
and it was everything!
When Debo leave, I be taking again.
Diddy out on house arrest.
Run Shyne Run.
If you survive 10 years in prison, you ain't scared.
^ LOL
Shyne is running this narrative to gain credibility back in Belize political circles. As long as he is caught up in this scandal, his own political career is on hold.
Throw Jlo under the bus too. She benefited from the chaos. Chickens came home to roost
