His mentor and record label chief Diddy, and then-girlfriend Jennifer Lopez, was also charged but acquitted at trial. While in prison, Shyne (now 30) changed his name to Moses Leviy in recognition of his Jewish mother.
Shyne has maintained that he only fired a gun in Club New York on December 27, 1999 in self-defense after his crew (which included Diddy's then-girlfriend Jennifer Lopez) were involved in an altercation with a man named Matthew “Scar” Allen . I was afraid for my life,” Shyne said at his sentencing in 2001. He has since changed his name to Moses Levi and remains in custody as officials decide whether he will be deported to Belize, where his father is the prime minister.
