Sean \u2018Diddy\u2019 Combs has reportedly sent a cease-and-desist letter about a new documentary on his old prot\u00e9g\u00e9 Shyne<\/p>\n
\nThe rapper-turned business mogul, 54, is in prison in New York awaiting trial on charges including sex trafficking and racketeering, and is said to be looking to use the message to ensure the facts are straight in the film, after Shyne alleged he took the \u201cfall\u201d for Combs over an infamous nightclub shooting case 25 years ago.<\/p>\n
\nPage Six has reported sources close to Diddy as well as the film confirmed that the cease-and-desist had been issued. <\/p>\n
\nShyne, 46, born Jamal Barrow, was at a Manhattan nightclub in 1999 with his Combs and the Bad Boy Records founder\u2019s then-girlfriend Jennifer Lopez when an altercation erupted between Combs and another man \u2013 leading to guns being drawn, shots fired and three bystanders being injured. <\/p>\n
\nShyne and Combs went on trial in 2001, but only Shyne was convicted of assault and reckless endangerment.<\/p>\n
\nNow a politician in Belize, Shyne served eight years in jail. <\/p>\n
\nHe says in new documentary \u2018The Honorable Shyne\u2019, which addresses the incident, Combs\u2019 ways are now \u201ccoming to light\u201d.<\/p>\n
\nHe adds he believes he was made the \u201cfall guy\u201d for Combs over the nightclub incident.<\/p>\n
\nShyne said: \u201cBecause when I said it (at the time), everyone was partying and having a great time with Diddy while I was left to rot in prison.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nHe previously told The New York Post about his conviction: \u201cI grew up (told) to not get my friends in trouble. And that\u2019s what it really boiled down to, integrity about character.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nShyne also said in an interview promoting his documentary he believed he was protecting Diddy, but claims the singer \u201cgot witnesses to testify against me, to say that basically I was this uncontrollable person that was acting in a depraved manner, which was the furtherest from the truth\u201d.<\/p>\n
\nCombs\u2019 representatives have hit back at Shyne\u2019s claims, with one telling Page Six: \u201cMr Combs categorically denies Mr Barrow\u2019s allegations, including any suggestion that he orchestrated Mr Barrow to \u2018take the fall\u2019 or \u2018sacrificed\u2019 him by directing witnesses to testify against him. <\/p>\n
\n\u201cThese claims are unequivocally false. Mr Combs was acquitted of all charges related to the (1999 incident) and has consistently maintained his innocence.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cMr Combs appreciates the path Mr Barrow has pursued and wishes him continued success. <\/p>\n
\n\u201cIt is unfortunate that Mr Barrow has chosen to revisit these allegations.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nCombs also denies all sexual assault allegations against him.<\/p>\n
