SHYNE JAIL RELEASE POSTPONED

Shyne was set to be released from prison on Tuesday (October 6), but it seem that his released has been postponed due to his immigration status. Officials are determining whether or not Shyne should be deported back to Belize, where he was born. It is unclear when the matter will be resolved. Stay posted for more details.

SHYNE RELEASED OCTOBER 6

Rapper Shyne will be released from prison today, after spending approximately 10 years behind bars. Shyne, 30, was convicted of shooting a bystander at a New York nightclub following a dispute between Sean Combs and another person. Before his untimely incarceration, Shyne without a doubt solidified himself as one of the best rappers. Shyne will serve 2 years of probation upon his release. Rappers from all over are welcoming Shyne home with open arms. For example, Fabolous tweeted “Somebody gettin outta jail is like a Hood Holiday…Welcome Home Shyne Po… Brooklyn Love”.That’s good to see that he has people behind him that are supportive. Although, he is no longer signed to Bad Boy Records anymore, I would be on the look out for some new material from Shyne in the upcoming months. 10 years locked up behind bars, I know Shyne has some fresh material to talk about and will definitely put all these bubble gum rappers in their place.
