Diddy Slams Shyne with Cease and Desist 

Sean “Diddy” Combs has issued a cease-and-desist letter to former Bad Boy Records rapper Moses “Shyne” Barrow over allegations made in Shyne’s new Hulu documentary, The Honorable Shyne.

The documentary revisits the infamous 1999 New York City nightclub shooting, in which Shyne was convicted and served a 10-year prison sentence while Diddy avoided jail time. Shyne alleges he was made the “fall guy” for the incident, a claim Diddy has called “unequivocally false.”

Sources told Page Six the letter aims to ensure Shyne’s statements adhere to factual claims. Shyne, now the Leader of the Opposition in Belize, has not publicly addressed receiving the letter or any planned response.

In the documentary, Shyne reflects on his experiences, suggesting Diddy’s alleged past actions are “coming to light.” He stated, “When I said it [then], everyone was partying with Diddy while I was left to rot in prison.”

During interviews promoting the documentary, Shyne accused Diddy of “destroying his life” while acknowledging that he has moved on. “I know he made me take the fall,” Shyne said during The Tamron Hall Show. “But I’ve healed. I moved forward.”

Despite these claims, Diddy’s representatives maintain his innocence. “Mr. Combs was acquitted of all charges and cannot condone these allegations,” a spokesperson said, describing Shyne’s statements as “disappointing.”

The cease-and-desist marks a stark contrast to the pair’s public reunion at the 2022 BET Awards, where Shyne performed “Bad Boyz” alongside Diddy.
