Shyne has boldly accused Diddy of being the real shooter in the infamous 1999 nightclub shooting at Club New York, a crime that led to Shyne’s wrongful imprisonment for nearly a decade. With his career destroyed and his future shattered, Shyne believes he was manipulated and used as a pawn in Diddy’s power game—a game that ultimately “ruined his life.”
The 1999 Shooting: What Really Happened at Club New York?
The shooting incident occurred on December 27, 1999, at Club New York after a confrontation between Diddy’s crew and an individual named Matthew “Scar” Allen. Diddy, along with his bodyguards, was acquitted of all charges, while Shyne was convicted of assault and sentenced to 10 years in prison. Over time, rumours spread that Diddy had paid Shyne a $10 million bribe to take the fall. However, Shyne vehemently denies these allegations. “There’s nothing to it,” Shyne said. “People said I took $10 million to go to prison, but the truth is, I went to prison because of my own actions. No one forced me into that.”

Shyne continues to deny the long-standing rumours that he was paid to take the fall for Diddy. “I didn’t shoot anyone,” he explained. “I was just a young kid caught up in a situation created by adults, and I had to pay the price.” The emotional pain of being unjustly convicted and imprisoned for a crime he didn’t commit weighs heavily on Shyne as he recalls his time in prison. “People called me a criminal, but the truth is, I didn’t do it. I just took the blame for something that wasn’t my fault.”
