Update: Shyne Remains in Custody, Facing Deportation

Tuesday Oct 6 2:44 PM CDT posted by xxl staff

Despite reports earlier today (October 6) that Shyne was freed from prison, MTV News has learned that the Belize-born rapper is being detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs, due to his questionable status as a American citizen.

The 30-year-old rapper, who was scheduled to be released today, has spent nearly a decade of his life in both the Clinton and Woodburne Correctional facilites in upstate New York. He is now in an undisclosed facility in Western New York awaiting to see if he will be deported.

Po was serving time on assault, reckless endangerment and gun possession charges for an incident that occurred in December ‘99. While partying at Club New York in Manhattan with then label boss Diddy and Jennifer Lopez—Puffy’s girlfriend at the time—Shyne got involved in a shootout, leaving three people injured.

He was sentenced on June 1, 2001 to ten years. Diddy, who was also charged in the crime, was acquitted.

Stay tuned to XXLMag.com as more details are revealed.

I can’t remember the last time I’ve been this happy! No lie.
Even if he decided to never make music again, I’m still overjoyed that he’s free!

Yeah…

*waits for Diddy to backpedal and say he supported Shyne*

I’m glad he’s out. How long before you think a mixtape drops?

Enlightened says:

Hopefully never.

I guess I look at the game different. I look at all these mixtapes and “free” music as part of what has the game so watered down.

We already have a million MCs. Then they all want to put out 10 mixtapes a year instead of one tight album.

If I was that nigga and his label, I wouldn’t put SHIT out. The first thing you would hear is the first single off the new album. Like it used to be done. Make niggas fiend for that shit. The first thing you heard from 2Pac when he got out of prison was California Love.

I don’t wanna hear a Shyne mixtape personally. I wanna hear a Shyne album.

the dude Puff already spoke to Shyne and I’m sure it was a temperature check to see if he’s got any problems when Po got home… I hope he did CTC though cause the brother can use the doe I’m sure…

Brix says:

Noyzi you say cut the check cause he needs the doe? Puffy should cut the check cuz that dude took a bid for him!!! I might have to catch a case if Diddy dont CTC for that!!!!

trini Rap Star says:

dan shyne has forever become irrelevant in the rap game. i’m sorry but u know and i know he cannot survive in 2009 his style has obvioulsy changed and which major label is going to sign him… NOT DEF JAM!!!!! so then who? i thought he turned soft and pious in jail. i’m sorry but how long will he live off the jail hype and that’s even if he decides to jump back into the music game again

October 6th, 2009
at 7:08 pm

Brix says:

Tranny, Oh my bad I mean Trini. Give the man a chance. Just because he has not put anything out in a while does not make him irrelevant in todays climate. The man could have been honing his skills while he was away. He only has to look at Masta Ace and Ed O.G. for inspiration. If these cats can back after a lengthy hiatus and be relevant so can he.

man, i’ve been waiting for this since the nigga got locked up, shyne’s that nigga. damn, he only 30? that nigga was about my age when he got locked up, that’s a damn shame. all those years of his life lost because of a bitch ass nigga like puffy. i bet diddy’s gonna conveniently go on vacation now, watch that nigga run to st. tropez, cancun, or whereever the fuck that motherfucker goes for vacation. either that or he’s gonna be riding shyne’s dick harder than a crackho tryna get a hit.

shit, if i was shyne, i’d be waiting in that nigga’s living room with the lights off, the moment he opens the door i’d be like “yeah nigga, what you gonna do, when shit hit the fan, take it like a man, or snitch like a bitch? now see, this is the deal, i want all your peoples working on my next album, i want them niggas from day26 to sing the hook on my newest single, i want free bottles of ciroc every day for life, i want a reality show on mtv, and i want to fuck that bitch cassie, because you know it’s been a long time since i got some pussy. and if my demands ain’t met, i’m murking that nigga fonzworth bentley, you best believe that.”

I could have swore that the article said he might be getting deported. The only thing he will drop is a bunch of green bananas in Belize.

latino heat says:

i’m happy he’s out too, but why is everybody ignoring the fact that he might get deported? only 2 comments actually mentioned that part. we still may never see him do music again if that happens.

and if you guys think Puff is really gonna help Shyne out then you are sadly mistaken. if he was gonna help him out he would have done it during the trial or helped Shyne’s mom out while he was locked up. Puff don’t help nobody but Puff. he should hold him down the way B.I.G. help down D-Roc when he came home, but Puff ain’t built like that.

gkid12345 says:

Another example of the government doing whatever the hell they want. He gets freed and then now they want to deport him. This country is the most low down racist piece of shit in the world

DV8 says:

Glad the dude touched down. For those that are uninformed Shyne dont fuck with Puff. Puff threw that nigga under the bus and distanced himself from Po. Fuck Puff!!!. My letter got printed in XXL in that Shyne cover issue (yellow and black lettering) under the name iame247. That clearly explains how I feel about the whole situation. Even if he gets deported im glad he has the oppourtunity to be a free human being again. I heard rumors that Jay-Z was interested in signing him. That would be dope I guess but mainly I just hope dude can get his life back together.

Why are they doing this to this man?!! I agree Gerv but they wanted him to serve his time here in the States FIRST and now gonna deport him. THIS IS CRAZY!!! FREE SHYNE! FREE SHYNE! FREE SHYNE! GIVE SHYNE FREE! GIVE SHYNE FREE!!!

El Tico Loco says:

He needs to get with Slick Rick’s people to see how he avoided deportation, or he may be able to make music from his home or another country ya’ll seem to forget you don’t have to have US dollars to eat, I mean you definitely make a quick come up living here as opposed to other countries but after a few dollars stacked here and there we can flip em into other shit. Ya’ll need to remember being “relevant” in America don’t mean as much as it used to, narrowmindedness leads some to believe that if you done fail that’s it and it not the case.

Agreed. Hip hop is Global. I wouldn’t want to live in a piece of shit country that would send u to jail on a possession charge for 10 years, give u mad years for pot or crack cocaine but someone selling hundreds of pills can get a fraction of that time. Lets not even compare to white collar crime… thats the real travesty in this country. Plenty of musicians and artists working outside of this country.

Co-Sign Enlightened. TRU DAT.

Shynes album self titled was a classic. IT was some real RAP shit…no guest appearances, no watered down shit. His single…Bad Boyz with Barry Levy on the hook took the album to a mainstream level….but, it was real in the streets. Every song is tight.

The lyrics are heat..

I done fu#%ed *The Baddest Bitches* ask Trina
Give her coke to stuff between her, said she loved my demeanor
Felonies and misdemeanors, I’m vilified
I just, rap on the side, black mafia ties
