Diddy Shows Love to Shyne in His Run For Belize’s House of Representatives

Leave a comment

Diddy

Former Bad Boy artist Shyne Barrow has announced his run for the House of Representatives in his homeland of Belize and his former boss Diddy has shown him some love for his campaign.

Following his release from prison after the 1999 shooting at Club NY, Shyne pursued a career in politics in Belize and the hard work seems to be paying off. The Bad Boy Records head honcho took to IG to express his support for the “Bad Boyz” rapper.

Shyne’s involvement with Belize’s politics is sort of inherited, with his father being elected the Prime Minister of the country in 2008. Also, if he wins the seat, he will be succeeding his uncle.

Today In Hip Hop History: Diddy And Jennifer Lopez Arrested Following Shootout At Club NY 19 Years Ago

Leave a comment

On this date in 1999, Sean “Puffy” Combs and Jennifer Lopez were arrested after leaving the scene of a shooting at Club New York in Manhattan.

The district attorney decided not to charge actress/songstress Jennifer Lopez, but Puff and two others would accrue weapons charges after a stolen gun was found in their vehicle.

Jamal “Shyne” Barrow, who was arrested for the shooting inside the club, says he acted in self defense after “Scar” Allen threatened them.

Shyne received a ten year sentence for the shooting, but only served eight years.

He was also dropped from the Bad Boy label during his incarceration.

Today In Hip Hop History: Shyne Drops His Eponymous Debut Album 18 Years Ago

Leave a comment

On this date in 2000, Bad Boy Records premiere artist Jamal “Shyne” Barrow released his self-titled debut album on the ever-popular Bad Boy imprint under the leadership of BB honcho, then known as “P. Diddy.”

Shyne’s debut album release was a bittersweet one, with his LP being dropped while the Belize-born rapper was serving 8-10 years in an upstate prison for a shooting in Club New York in Manhattan just a year prior involving his boss and then girlfriend Jennifer Lopez. Despite Barrow having to do time behind bars, his album was an undisputed success, selling over a million copies in less than a year. It also was a tremendous help that Shyne’s voice was eerily identical to slain Bad Boy artist Notorious B.I.G.

With the album content surrounding Shyne’s real-life gangster image, the project’s leading singles, “Bad Boyz”, which features reggae legend Barrington Levy and the thug love story “Bonnie And Shyne”, were not only popular in the streets, but also did their numbers on-air, with the singles in constant rotation on the radio around the country.

Salute to Diddy, Shyne and the rest of the Bad Boy staff for bringing the people such a timeless Hip Hop classic!
