Cease and Desist Drama: Diddy Blocks Shyne’s Documentary on Nightclub Incident with J.Lo
Sean “Diddy” Combs has reportedly issued a cease-and-desist letter to Moses “Shyne” Barrow, his former Bad Boy Records signee, over Shyne’s upcoming documentary, The Honorable Shyne.
The documentary, set to premiere on Hulu on November 18, revisits the infamous 1999 Manhattan nightclub shooting involving Diddy, Shyne, and Jennifer Lopez.
Shyne claims he was unfairly made the scapegoat during the legal fallout, which resulted in him serving a 10-year prison sentence. Diddy was acquitted of all charges in 2001.
Shyne, now a politician and Leader of the Opposition in Belize, uses the documentary to recount his experience and the impact the incident had on his life and career. In promotional material, he emphasizes feeling betrayed and “set up to be the fall guy.”
The cease-and-desist letter likely aims to prevent further damage to Diddy’s reputation, especially amid ongoing legal challenges​.
