After serving nine years on assault and attempted murder charges, former Bad Boy rapper Shyne was set to be released from prison today [Ed Note: MTV reports that the MC is still in custody, due to his questions regarding his citizenship.] During his time in the joint for his part in a December 27, 1999 shootout inside Club New York, for which the man born Jamal Barrow and music mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs faced serious prison time (Combs was later acquitted in the headline-grabbing trial), A LOT has changed.
