Shyne, now known as Moses Michael Levi Barrow, is the Leader of the Opposition in the Belize House of Representatives.
In a recent interview, he was asked if he felt his connection to Diddy – born Sean Combs – and “cloud of suspicion of nefarious and suspicious activity” his surroundings will affect his image in the government.
“I don’t understand how, I…” he said before being interrupted by the interviewer, Jules Vasquez.
“You offer a scholarship in his name,” Vasquez stated.
Shyne said, “I’ll leave that to you, sir. Human education scholarships have nothing to do with it…Sir, sir…”
After the Belizean leader silenced the man, he mentioned Prime Minister Andre Perez, who had been severely accused against him by a woman named Wendy Auxillou. Additionally, he said the woman is believed to have fled to the United States for her safety. Barrow claims the Belizian media swept it under the rug.
“That’s what we need to focus on, an entertainer who has nothing to do with politics and he’s facing charges, he hasn’t been convicted of anything….” Shyne declared.
When asked if he was still in contact with Diddler, Barrow said, “I’ve already been in contact.”
While speaking, Shyne also commented on the 1999 club shooting, which landed him in prison.
Roomies react to Shyne’s interview
One commenter on The Shade Room’s Instagram report said the former artist did not deserve to be dragged into the Diddy scandal.
@litpapi163 stated, “Not only did Shyne go to jail, but he also maintained his innocence without criticism. He has changed his life and feels comfortable with his current life. He needs to be left out of this mess.”
@jeankitnege agrees adding, “Leave this man alone. He has safely returned to his country.”
Another Roomie feels politics have been exploited by Combs.
_angelface26 stated, “Shyne is also Diddy’s victim, he just doesn’t realize it.”
