After 12 Years, Shyne & Diddy Squash Vintage Beef

It’s been a while since we’ve seen 33-year-old retired-rapper, Shyne. His last big episode was in 1999, when he and 42 year old Sean “Diddy” Combs were involved in a shooting at Club New York. Diddy was charged, then let go. But Shyne served nine years in prison for assault and gun possession. Not surprisingly, Shyne held some grudges against Diddy, calling him a “snitch.” After serving his nine years, the rapper converted to Judaism, and legally changed his name to Moses Levi.

Fast forward to the current day, and Shyne has finally decided to end his beef with Diddy. In a Skype interview with MTV, yesterday (January 17^th), the rapper confessed that he had a dream about a man named Anthony “Wolf” Jones, who was a friend to both Shyne and Diddy. That dream led to a recent conversation between Shyne and Diddy, in which the two men talked over the phone, reconciled their friendship, and planned to meet up soon. Shyne said,

“As far as Puff is concerned, that’s been a long time coming. He had reached out to me twice while I was in the pen, but I just wasn’t ready for it… In retrospect, when you looked at the way he handled it, he held it down, he wore it. He ain’t had nothing to say; always had good things to say. It was always, ‘Yo, whatever Shyne needs, we got him… We had a solid relationship, we had a brotherhood, me, him [Diddy] and Wolf, and I just felt the need to just reach out, because again, he just kept it tall no matter what I said… For me, the conversation was a confirmation of what I felt. Son kept it super tall, and that’s what it’s about. When a man says, ‘Listen, as a man, I make mistakes and I own that,’ what could you do?… I just feel real good about moving on with our relationship. Me and son, we gonna get together in Paris — I’m in Paris right now. We gonna get together in a couple of weeks, and we gonna sit at the roundtable.”

Peep the footage.
