Just two days after a shocking video of Sean "Diddy" Combs physically attacking his former Bad Boy artist and girlfriend, Cassie, was released on May 17, another former rapper, Shyne Barrow, publicly spoke out against Diddy's "repugnant behavior." Shyne, who was once Diddy's co-defendant, was present at Club New York in New York City back in 1999 when both men were accused of firing weapons and injuring three people. While Diddy was ultimately found not guilty, Shyne was convicted and served 10 years in prison before being deported to his home country of Belize, where he now works in politics.
Taking to his Instagram account, Shyne made a strong statement about the recently surfaced video. "I vehemently denounce the repugnant behavior of Sean Diddy Combs captured on the video in which he is seen physically assaulting Mrs Cassie Ventura-Fine," he wrote. "There is no place for violence against women anywhere on the planet. As a father of a precious daughter, a global citizen, and the future Prime Minister of Belize, I want absolutely nothing to do with people who engage in this kind of diabolical behavior." Shyne also offered his prayers to Cassie and other victims who have come forward with allegations against Diddy.
In the video, Diddy can be seen physically attacking Cassie, and he has since apologized for his actions. "It's never easy to reflect on the darkest moments of your life, but sometimes it's necessary," he shared on Instagram. "I was in a bad place at the time...but I take full responsibility for my actions. There's no excuse for what I did in that video." Meanwhile, Shyne felt a sense of vindication after one of the victims from the Club New York shooting, Natania Reid, recently came forward and claimed that Diddy was the one who shot her, not Shyne. In an interview with Channel 5 Belize, Shyne said, "I've been saying this all along. Everyone knew that I was the fall guy. I always maintained my innocence and said I was defending myself. I didn't get into who did what."
It's a troubling situation that has brought past events back into the spotlight, and many are now calling for justice to be served. As Shyne continues to rise in his career and make a positive impact in his country, he stands firm in his stance against violence and supports those who have been brave enough to speak out against it.
