Why Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’s Former Protégé Shyne Isn’t ‘Surprised’ By Bombshell Allegations Against Mogul

Moses “Shyne” Barrow is sharing his story in the new documentary “The Honorable Shyne.” Access Hollywood guest correspondent Emily Orozco sat down with the former rapper, who is now the Leader of the Opposition in the Belize House of Representatives, about his journey and how it was a “rollercoaster” to look back on his life, including his experience as a former rap protégé of Sean “Diddy” Combs. Shyne also spoke about how things took a turn during a 1999 nightclub shooting that both were implicated in – for which Combs was ultimately acquitted and Shyne served nearly a decade in prison – and shares what he claims really happened that night. Update: Combs’ reps issued a statement to Access regarding Shyne’s claims. “Mr. Combs categorically denies Mr. Barrow’s allegations, including any suggestion that he orchestrated Mr. Barrow to ‘take the fall’ or ‘sacrificed’ him by directing witnesses to testify against him. These claims are unequivocally false,” the statement read. “Mr. Combs was acquitted of all charges related to the 1999 Club New York incident and has consistently maintained his innocence. He cannot accept or condone any characterization of his actions as ‘demonic’ or malicious. Mr. Combs appreciates the path Mr. Barrow has pursued and wishes him continued success. It is unfortunate that Mr. Barrow has chosen to revisit these allegations. Mr. Combs trusts that responsible journalism will weigh both the established legal outcomes and Mr. Combs’ positive, longstanding support for those he has worked with.” “The Honorable Shyne” premieres Nov. 18 on Hulu.
