Former rapper-turned-politician Shyne, born Jamal Barrows, shares a story of redemption on The Honorable Shypremieres on Hulu on Monday (November 18).
Born in Belize and raised in Brooklyn, New York, the then-budding rapper's career was sidelined after he was sentenced to a decade in prison for a shooting at a New York nightclub in 1999. He served eight years before being released in 2009.
Shyne claims he was “absolutely cut out to be the fall guy” for his label head Sean “Diddy” Combs. Although Combs was arrested shortly after the shooting, he was never charged and denied Shyne's claims in a statement released through his agent last week. “Mr. Combs categorically denies the claims of Mr. Barrow, including any suggestion that he orchestrated Mr. Barrow to “fall” or “sacrifice” him by directing witnesses to testify against him. These claims are unequivocally false.”
Combs, 55, is currently behind bars on racketeering and sex-trafficking charges.
In the nearly two-hour documentary, helmed by director Marcus A. Clarke and the Andscape, Shyne details growing up in Belize, moving to Brooklyn, signing to Bad Boy Records, going to prison, and finally starting a new chapter after his release.
Shyne's friends, family and collaborators are featured in the documentary, including his parents Frances Myvette and Dean Barrow, music executive Kevin Liles, Charlamagne the God, Faith Evans and Noreaga.
The documentary also includes footage of the former music mogul and begins with a conversation between Combs and Shyne filmed in 2021.
