Ex-Rapper Who Took the Fall for Diddy and J.Lo Shooting Breaks Silence
Moses “Shyne” Barrow is done faking nice with Sean “Diddy” Combs, finally claiming nearly 25 years later that the incarcerated ex-mogul set him up to take the fall for the 1999 Manhattan Club shooting, caused him to spend nearly a decade in prison, and “destroyed my life.”
Combs and then-girlfriend Jennifer Lopez were arrested immediately after the shooting for their alleged involvement, but the charges were ultimately dropped—and witnesses pinned the shooting on Barrow, who had also accompanied the couple to the nightclub.
Barrow, who was signed to Diddy’s Bad Boy Records, now says that Diddy and J.Lo’s dropped charges were no accident. “I was defending [Diddy] and he turned around and called witnesses to testify against me,” Barrow told the press on Thursday, “and he pretty much sent me to prison.”
