Diddy Hits Back At Shyne in Developing Beef

Shyne has a new documentary dropping next week.

He's been promoting it all around town. Of course, in all his media hits, he gets asked about his old boss, Diddy.

Shyne has made it pretty clear that Puff set him up to take the fall in the notorious 1999 Club New York shooting, arguing he was a "sacrificial lamb" in a "demonic" scheme that ended up getting him nine years in prison.

Puff's lawyers shot back at that in

"Mr. Combs categorically denies Mr. Barrow’s [Shyne's] allegations, including any suggestion that he orchestrated Mr. Barrow to 'take the fall' or 'sacrificed' him by directing witnesses to testify against him. "These claims are unequivocally false. Mr. Combs was acquitted of all charges related to the 1999 Club New York incident and has consistently maintained his innocence. He cannot accept or condone any characterization of his actions as 'demonic' or 'malicious.' Mr. Combs appreciates the path Mr. Barrow has pursued and wishes him continued success. It is unfortunate that Mr. Barrow has chosen to revisit these allegations. Mr. Combs trusts that responsible journalism will weigh both the established legal outcomes and Mr. Combs’ positive, longstanding support for those he has worked with," Puff's rep told TMZ.

Diddy is currently locked up on federal charges of sex trafficking.
