Ex-Rapper Who Took the Fall for Diddy Shooting: ‘He Pretends to Be Sorry’

In a new documentary, Moses “Shyne” Barrow finally tells the full story of how Diddy landed him in prison for a decade.

“It’s all coming to light and people believe it,” Barrow says in the film, “Because when I said it, everyone was partying and having a great time with Diddy, while I was left to rot in prison,” the ex-rapper says in the doc, which premieres Nov. 18 on Hulu. The film relies on footage from Barrow’s time at the top of the rap industry and as one of Combs’ Bad Boy Records artists, telling his story from a troubled beginning, including frequent run-ins with violence in the streets of Brooklyn, to his becoming leader of the opposition of Belize. “It took time [and] it took a lot of years” before he would forgive Combs and ultimately make public appearances with him, he says, even performing as part of Diddy’s Lifetime Achievement tribute on BET—which he’s since clarified he’d only done for the “benefit” of Belize.
