Former recording Bad Boy artist Jamal Barrow aka Shyne was set to be released from prison on Tuesday October, 6 2009, after he had served nine years of a 10-year sentence linked to a nightclub shooting in New York back in 2001, with Bad Boy label executive Mr. Sean P. Diddy Combs, and his then-girlfriend Jennifer Lopez. However, a MTV news representative confirmed Tuesday. “Shyne is currently in federal custody while his future immigration status is determined.” As a result his release will be on hold while officials determine whether or not Shyne should be deported back to Belize – native homeland. Stay tuned as the case progresses.
