“Shyne” Barrow Says Diddy Destroyed His Life

Hip Hop mogul, Sean “P. Diddy” Combs is behind bars after he was arrested on Monday by Homeland Security on suspicion of sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy and interstate transportation for prostitution. Former Bad Boy artist, now Leader of the Opposition, Moses “Shyne” Barrow says he does not take joy in seeing Diddy’s downfall.  However, when we spoke with him at the U.D.P. headquarters today, he put forward that he was not close friends with Combs as some may want to believe.

“When I was an eighteen-year-old kid just wanting to do nothing other than make my mother proud and make Belize proud and be recognized for my talent and take over the world. I was defending him, and he turned around and called witnesses to testify against me. He contributed; he pretty much sent me to prison. That is the context by which you must always describe that relation. I forgave. I moved on. But let us not pretend as if I was in Miami for Thanksgiving and Christmas. I went again to a charity event for impoverished youths in London. So, let us not lose sight of what the cold hard facts are. This is not someone who I vacationed with and who he and I enjoyed this great, intimate relationship of brotherhood. This is someone who destroyed my life and who I forgave and who I moved on and for the better interest of Belize, because he was in a position at that time to give scholarships and to maybe invest, I would not deny attempting to bring the investment to Belize and contribution to education to Belize. But don’t distort it as if he and I were bomb bally. This is someone that destroyed my life. But do I take any joy with what he is going through, absolutely not. I am different than other people, no one needs to fail for me to succeed.”
