A new documentary titled The Honorable Shyne, focusing on Moses "Shyne" Barrow, a former Bad Boy rapper, is now available on Hulu. Barrow, who served eight years in prison due to his involvement in a club shooting in New York City back in 1991 with Sean "Diddy" Combs, has recently shared his thoughts on Diddy’s ongoing legal challenges.
At the premiere of his documentary, Barrow emphasized the need for "justice" for all those impacted by the situation, specifically mentioning the victims. "First and foremost, you pray for the victims," he stated, also referring to Cassie Ventura, who has been part of the allegations against Combs.
Barrow reflected on the importance of the rule of law, saying, "Everyone is innocent until proven guilty. I pray for justice, I pray for the victims. I pray for Diddy." Despite his past with Combs, Barrow expressed no resentment, wishing for Diddy to manage this tough chapter in his life.
He also addressed Cassie’s serious claims from a recent lawsuit against Combs, speaking about the difficult situations many go through. "I wish everyone well, including Diddy," he said, adding that his focus is on the well-being of those affected.
Barrow, now active in politics as the Leader of the Opposition in Belize’s House of Representatives, reminisced about his own experience from a notorious nightclub incident where he was convicted of first-degree assault. He served his time in prison, was released, and returned to Belize, where he shifted his career towards public service.
In the documentary, Barrow discusses the past with Diddy, claiming he felt set up during the incident years ago. He mentioned that people celebrated while he faced the consequences alone. Barrow revealed that Diddy reached out to him after a recent press conference where he spoke about how the rapper had a significant impact on his life. Barrow remains firm about the facts and acknowledges that their friendship is complicated.
The response from Diddy’s team was clear, categorically denying Barrow’s claims and emphasizing that Diddy has always maintained his innocence regarding the past incident. They noted that Diddy appreciates Barrow’s journey in politics and wishes him success.
The Honorable Shyne is streaming now on Hulu.
