Shyne's Prison Release On Hold Due To Immigration Status
Published 10/07/2009, by Miles Bennett

ShyneShyne was set to be released from prison on Tuesday (October 6), but it looks like it's been placed on hold pending review.

The former Bad Boy Records recording artist (real name: Jamal Barrow) had served nine years of a 10-year sentence in connection with a shooting at a New York nightclub in 2001 involving Bad Boy label head Diddy, and his then-girlfriend Jennifer Lopez.

However, his released is on hold while officials determine whether or not Shyne should be deported back to Belize, where he was born.

A rep confirmed this news with MTV Tuesday.

"Shyne is currently in federal custody while his future immigration status is determined," the rep said.

So, the rapper has not been released, and is still in custody.

At press time, it was unclear when the matter would be resolved.

Stay tuned.

I hope and pray that they leave Shyne alone. The man did time for Didy’s punk ass bcause he was true to the code of silence. B4 he eva snitch He would lie in a ditch. Let the man live his life free from ths B.S. This system is f’d up I hope they do a Slick Rick and allow Shyne to stay in USA and make up for lost time. He has the potential to change the Balance of power in Rap and bring back New York. I been tired of these other lollipop rappers and Dirty south dancers. Free Shyne Po.

Look people, when someone that’s not from this country commits a crime, they as usually deported back to their native country. Don’t wanna go back, don’t do a crime.

By the way Belize is not in Mexico and I hope someone snitches their ass off if something happened to me or mine.

If they send him back he will just sneak in like all the mexicans(no disrespect)Let him go but if he is not a US Citizen well they can deport him. All you immigrants stay low key.

Whom ever wrote Shyne is a mexican do your research idiot…Belize has a diverse society, composed of many cultures and speaking many languages. Although Kriol and Spanish are spoken among the population, Belize is the only country in Central America where English is the official language. It is bordered by Mexico to the north, Guatemala to the south and west, and the Caribbean sea to the east.So because it’s bordered by mexico dosen’t make him a Mexcian fall back!

robin lio - October 11, 2009 at 12:51 am
