As Sean “Diddy” Combs continues to deal with his ongoing legal woes, Jamal “Shyne” Barrow is speaking out about the infamous 1999 shooting at Club New York that both men were a part of.

The harrowing incident led to Barrow being charged with three counts of attempted murder as well as criminal possession of a weapon. Ultimately, he was sentenced to 10 years in prison.

There has been a renewed interest in the shooting after Combs’ alleged violent behavior was revealed in numerous lawsuits last year. In a recent interview circulating courtesy Channel 5 Belize, Barrow addressed the pain he still experiences from the fateful night.

“It opens wounds. Everyone knew all along I was the fall guy,” Barrow said. “My political enemies tried to make me into this criminal. Everyone knew I took the fall. All this time, I was defending myself. I did not shoot those people. I maintain that I never shot nobody.”

On Dec. 27, 1999, shots were fired at Club New York in Manhattan. Three people were hit, while other attendees descended into chaos. The victims, who were all innocent bystanders, didn’t suffer from life-threatening injuries.

Combs, Barrow and Jennifer Lopez were all arrested in connection to the shooting. However, only Barrow was officially charged. Combs and Lopez were arrested on possible weapons charges but were never charged in connection to the shooting.

One of the victims, Natania Reuben, has stated for years that it was Combs who shot her in the face—not Barrow. “I’m willing to have a doctor remove a part of the 9 mm bullet in my face so that they can use it as evidence if need be for this trial,” Reuben stated last month in an interview with NewsNation.

She filed a $130 million lawsuit for compensation against Combs in 2008 and it was settled in June 2011. It remains unknown if the case will be reopened, but hopefully Barrow finds solace in speaking his peace.
