Born Jamal Michael Barrow, he’s since changed his name to Moses Michael Levi Barrow and made a life for himself in his native of Belize.

Diddy, who he reconciled with a few years ago, took to Instagram to show support for Shyne’s political aspirations, telling his followers, BELIZE 🇧🇿 I’m so proud of my brother @shyne_bz and the journey he is on.

#BadBoy4Life ✊🏿🖤”

Politics is nothing new when it comes to the Barrow family– the Flatbush native’s uncle Michael Finnegan previously held the same post and his father, Dean Barrow, made history in 2008 when he became the first Black prime minister of Belize.

Of course, Shyne’s new life venture is starkly different from where he saw himself at the turn of the millennium.

In December of 1999, while partying with Diddy and Jennifer Lopez at Club New York in Manhattan, drama ensued, and it led to Shyne being charged with attempted murder, assault, and reckless endangerment.
