Moses “Shyne” Barrow has a new documentary about his promotion, and he’s nurturing Diddy in the process.
Former Bad Boy rapper turned politician appeared on the Tamron Hall Show on November 13 to promote Honorable Shyne the documentary will appear on Hulu on November 18. During his time there, he spoke about his tumultuous relationship with the troubled rapper.
Hall pressed Shyne about reuniting with Diddy to perform “Bad Boyz” with him at the 2022 BET Awards, which was a moment that celebrated hip-hop as well as Belize.
“I didn’t want to do it, but he said, ‘Listen, this is about Belize.’ Imagine this platform,” he said.
Hall then mentioned the time Diddy called Shyne his “brother” after all they had been through.
“I wish I was his brother in 2000 when we were on trial,” he quipped.
Shyne added: “I wish I was his brother for the past 26 years when my mother, who is here with me, never received any help. He never helped his mother dry her tears.”
Shyne is referring to New York City in 1999, which saw him charged and Diddy walk away without any charges. He was eventually convicted in 2001 on charges of first-degree assault, gun possession and reckless endangerment while Diddy was released after previously being charged with gun possession and bribery.
“I just have to put it in context without spitting on someone’s grave that this is the person who ruined my life. “Do you hear my mom, she’s probably going to start crying sitting on this couch. People ask, ‘Do you think he did those things? Well, I know what he did to my family so the potential is there,” Shyne told Hall.
Shyne spent eight years in prison before being released in 2009 and he then began his political career.
“I walked on and I healed. I didn’t see him shoot, but I know that he knocked me down. I know that he called witnesses to testify against me. We sit here and I said, ‘Please, don’t call that witness. That witness will destroy me and that witness is lying.’ So I have to tell that truth,” he concluded.
Diddy is currently in jail on charges related to sex trafficking and fraud. He will face trial in May 2025.
