Jailed Rapper Shyne Hopes to Unfreeze Assets

Monday, March 6, 2006
By: Kenny Rodriguez


ShyneWhile rapper Shyne serves a decade in prison for a 1999 club shooting, he plans on challenging a ruling that has frozen his assets, claiming his family is facing financial problems.

Under New York’s revised “Son of Sam Law” – which bars criminals from profiting from their crimes – Brooklyn Supreme Court Justice Michael Garson ordered that any money the jailed rapper receives from royalties and record deals be held, until civil lawsuits filed against him by the victims are resolved.
On Dec. 27, 1999, Shyne was convicted of a shooting that involved rap mogul Sean “P. Diddy” Combs and then-girlfriend Jennifer Lopez at Club New York in Midtown Manhattan. When an argument ensued between Combs’ posse and a club-goer, shots were fired and three people were struck.

Shyne, now 26, was arrested outside of the club, while Combs was arrested after police stopped his SUV and found a handgun. Shyne was convicted and sentenced to serve 10 years in prison, while Combs was acquitted.

The former Bad Boy recording artist hopes the judge will let his mother dip into a $500,000 advance from a five-album deal he signed with Island/Def Jam in March 2004. “He was the sole support of his family,” said his attorney Oscar Michelen. “They’re in very difficult financial circumstances.” Michelen also said that Shyne’s new record deal “is in no way related to the crime” and that “the law’s gone overboard.”

Attorney Debra Reiser, who represents one of the victims of the 1999 shooting, disagreed. “Those funds are for the crime victims. That’s what the law says,” Reiser said. “He’s trying to circumvent the law for his own purposes.”

Shyne will not be eligible for parole until August 2009, and at the latest will be released from prison on March 12, 2011.

In related news, Shyne recently placed an advertisement in the New York Post declaring his conversion to Judaism. In the ad, Shyne - who was born on the Caribbean island of Belize - stated that he is descended from Ethiopian Jews, and has legally changed his name from Jamaal Michael Barrow to Moses Michael Leviy

Damn the man is fluck up- wont let that man's assests unfreeze to care for his famz. Talking bout some law that u cant profit off crime. Like the man hasnt profit of a murder, lies, thievery, slavery, war, and other types of suffering across the globe./ as for shyne.... Tru a better way of handling the beef should of been used, but the n*gga was young and wen the beef is on- so is the pressure. Dis man was holdin puff down, and wen the case was on this n*gga had cochran and shyne was left wit a regular lawyer who wasnt nearly as skilled as cochran. Everybody talk bout snitchin this- n snitchin dat- wut bout n*ggaz who suppose to be ya mans-and desert u wen sh*t hit the fan. Thas way wrost then snitchin.

Fa'sho....as a black man my main responsibilities are to build, maintain, uplift and teach.....but not far behind those is staying off the whyte mans radar screen.....its a million and one ways to lock your azz up but about 4 ways your gitting out...snitch, do your time, parole, or just flat out money. Shyne just got sent on that iron vacation before he even got a royalty check so he probalby didnt have the doe to spring tha joint. Dayem.

Wasted talent, hopefully my n*gga dont wash out like many jailed rappers do.

The system is still with this hatred and if the son of sam law isn't the most pathetic law to date. I don't know what is!!! how can getting a record deal with defjam with a signing bonus be in anyway crime activities on top of that freeze assets. The law need to be changed period!!!!!! they using shyne as a scapegoat because he didn't shoot those people some else did!

I think that diddy, puffy, or whatever he is going by now, should drop the change to shyne's family, he is locked up for him anyway. If he got that deal while he was locked up and not before, they should not be able to freeze those assets.

Shyne was hung out to dry, i feel for the guy.....that's a good question "black", how is that profiting from crime????
Posted by Spiltmilk
I'm truly sick of how people always talk of how the problems with racism are getting better and then something like this happens. Son of sam was guilty, shyne is not! the gun he was said to have possesed did not match the wounds of any of the victims. Puff is a snitch! F*ck the godamn system!

Puffy sh*tted on shyne just like he does his other artists. Nobody on puff's label has more than one successful album. Puff should hit shyne's fam wit some bread, he was ridin for puff, and puff got so much paper he wouldn't miss a few hundred thou.

Puffs a fag ... Free shyne the guy took the fall for puff and now his family suffers its bullsh*t they should definately free his assets!!

50 gonna mirk yougin when he get out!...on wax!
Posted by shortybeebop380
Why is shines family broke? puff was supposed to take care of that fam or give them like a couple mil i heard. Puff's a savage. Anyway he cant spend the money if they unfreeze his assets, damn. Can't profit off of crime huh in america huh?..........nevermind, i wont even get into that!!! 1

They need to unfreeze his assets so his fam could eat. That $ has nothing to do with that shooting. Furthurmore puff need to settle all of the civil cases for shyne, since he basically doin time 4 holding him down in the club. P. S. Belize aint no island. Its on mainland central america.

I love how people cry racism on here.this law goes for every 1 damn idiots.that means the whites/latino's/asians and so on.he got that deal in prison.so he gets no money atm cause of the law.any 1 from ny knows this sh*t
Posted by Sideshow
First of all 50 aint gone do nuthin to shyne....shyne will rip 50....2nd of all they really need to let shyne support his family thats just keepin someone else down.......that man went in for keepin by his homie and his homi F*cked him........diddy is a faggot

The last thing i expected in this article was that shyne changed his name to moses
Posted by IrishODB
If shyne changed his name to moses then he is in a peaceful state of mind. If he was still in the street doing that wickedness, he wouldda gotten killed by now. But he's alive and well. And smart. It took him a 10 prison bid to understand he is an israelite jew from the tribe of benjamin. He is truly becoming wise blackman. Which is what i cannot say for alot of brothers in the game. As for the goverment holding his money.... That's the white man, the devil doing what he do best. Trying to keep a true black man down. Hold your head up shyne..... You got 3 more years and we will support you when you come home moses. F@#k diddy! that faggot. Shalom bro

First off, yall need to listen to sideshow...this law is for ne one, yall call racism on a lotta bullsh*t these days, sure it exists, but yall trippin...secondly, its ruff to see they wont let shyne take care of his fam...big up to him man, hen aint say sh*t, he held the street code down, but that dont mean cut him no slack ya hurd? o and fiftys a Bia'ch compared to shyne
Posted by JuD
Puffy should help homies fam at this point. Don't let the nicca's family starve when the man went down trying to hold u down. As for the law... All i can say is homie didn't use his head when it all went down which left the law opportunity to take use no vasiline, who's really to blame for all that.
Posted by thedocumentry
Thats some bogus sh*t, freezing that mans assets, but that really dosent surprise me, thats the law for you, dammed if you follow the rules, and dammed if you dont, p sh*tty could at least hit his ma dukes with some bread, i mean, the man is doing time that was meant for him, that man followed the street code "stop snitching" and look where ot got him, maybe the code should be changed to snitch when the time is right!
Posted by Eric young Infinite
Lol F*ck dat goin to jail for a n*gga-im learning that n*ggaz can be ungreatful. After all dis is a individualistic society-we all by nature are for self. Dis man follow the street code"no snitching" where did it get him? bussin ya gun in the club 4 ya man=10yrs no snitching=street cred ya man gettin cochran u get a sh*ttin lawyer=foul ya man being free-while ya in jail and hes a bigger star now priceless. Ya haters shake a tail feather to dat .lol

Posted by shottadem
I'd love to see a movie being made bout his time in prison. Would be wicked to see puff being made out the backstabber he sure is...
Posted by diesel
Backstabber....lol. Puff'll stab 'em in the back, in tha azz, in the thigh, head, everywhere but the bottom of ya' feet. That boy uses his artists like used condoms...

Did puffy tell shyne to pull that burner and blast...no. Last i checked, shyne was well over 18 yrs old. He made a man choice that night and it cost him 10 joints. The only thing i am upset about is though.... Diddy rich ass can sure help out shynes family for $$$$. That's just down right wrong! word. He will pay for that.
Posted by Sair
What shyne did in the club like he said might have been just self defense like he said but to me 4real diddy's procative ass can really help i mean comeon wats $50,000 to a man steals from his artist.......

How do you know that diddy isn't already supporting shine's family? maybe he is and this story was put out so there are no questions asked. I really don't think diddy would leave him hanging like that nor do i believe puffy pulled the trigger. Shine made his own decision to plead guilty and no one knows the truth but god and those that were involved.
