‘Someone who destroyed my life’: rapper Shyne on Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs in new documentary

Shyne, the rapper and former Sean “Diddy” Combs protege, says he “was absolutely set up to be the fall guy” for a 1999 New York nightclub shooting in which the pair were implicated – and for which only he was imprisoned.

“One of the most difficult parts of it was watching everyone succeed,” the lyricist, born Moses Barrow, says in an upcoming Hulu documentary about his life and career in music as well as politics.

Barrow’s comments – contained in a recent trailer for The Honorable Shyne, premiering on 18 November – are intriguing due to the scrutiny surrounding Combs following the September arrest of the Bad Boy Records’ founder on federal sex trafficking and racketeering charges.
