News Americas, New York, NY, September 19, 2024: Belizean politician and former Bad Boy rapper Moses “Shyne” Barrow has made it clear that he had no knowledge of or involvement in Sean “Diddy” Combs’ alleged “freakoff” parties. Barrow, now Leader of the Opposition in Belize, addressed the issue during a recent press conference following Combs’ arrest in New York City on September 16.
Barrow, who was once signed to Combs’ Bad Boy Records, reflected on his relationship with the music mogul, accusing Combs of “ruining” his life. “At 18, I just wanted to make my mom proud and put Belize on the map. I defended him, only for him to turn on me and testify in court, which led to my imprisonment,” Barrow said, although he did not provide specific details to support the claim.
Barrow’s comments refer to his 1999 conviction for a New York nightclub shooting that left three people injured. While Barrow was sentenced to 10 years in prison, Combs was acquitted of all charges. Combs claimed at the time that he had no involvement in the shooting, saying, “I do not own or carry a gun.”
Since his release from prison in 2009 and subsequent deportation to Belize, Barrow has turned his focus to politics.
Barrow emphasized that his relationship with Combs was never personal. “We’ve never vacationed together and never had a close brotherly bond. He ruined my life, but I forgave him and moved on. I pursued investments for Belize’s education system, knowing that it had the resources to contribute,” Barrow explained.
When asked by a reporter if he had any knowledge of or participation in Combs’ alleged “freak-off” events, Barrow vehemently denied any involvement. “I had nothing to do with Sean Combs’ personal life; our relationship was strictly professional,” he replied.
Combs is currently facing charges of sex trafficking, racketeering and other offenses related to the alleged incidents. According to the federal indictment, the victims were allegedly forced to participate in “deals” using drugs, and some cases were allegedly caught on camera without consent.
Combs has pleaded not guilty and remains in custody at the Brooklyn Detention Center awaiting trial.
