Shyne Barrow Draws Distance from Diddy

Former Bad Boy recording artist Shyne Barrow has drawn distance from Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs in the wake of video evidence that the well-known music mogul physically abused his ex-girlfriend.  The footage which was aired exclusively by C.N.N. on Friday, has raised the ire of many in the music industry, including Barrow, now Belize’s opposition leader.  This morning, the rapper turned politician discussed the issue briefly after releasing a statement on Sunday.

“I have been categorically clear as to denouncing the repugnant behavior of Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs as we saw the video capturing him brutally, physically assaulting Mrs. Cassie Ventura-Fine and I have said I want nothing to do with anyone engaging in such activities.  End.  Period.  Any other national issues?”

“Is that a statement referring obliquely to Patrick Faber who has been on camera, not engaged in that level of activities, but he has been caught on camera engaged in disputes of a domestic nature where violence is not explicit but implicit and there was a video in 2014 that did show him dragging a woman by her hair down a hallway.”

“I did not see that video, but I do know the other videos that I did see and my condemnation has been consistent. So this idea of Diddy Combs, the only thing that he was proposing to give was the scholarship from Howard [University] which has not come to fruition. I don’t know what’s happening with Howard [University], if Howard would want to still help Belize, we will take it, but at this point I want nothing to do with anyone that is engaging in that type of activity.”
