Moses Michael Levi “Shyne” Barrow has been sharing his various takes on former boss Sean “Diddy” Combs as of late. From the infamous club shooting that resulted in his incarceration to his thoughts on Puff’s current legal woes, the Belizean politician isn’t holding back in promotion of new Hulu documentary, The Honorable Shyne.
Within the doc, the late DJ Clark Kent confirms that the former rapper began dating R&B star Brandy while she was seeing her “Sittin’ On Top Of The World” collaborator, Ma$e. In a new Breakfast Club interview, Shyne details Puff’s disapproval of him pursuing someone who was already seeing his Bad Boy label mate.
“At the time, I got on in ’98, and instead of getting in the studio and getting the information, I was living the life,” Shyne admitted. “That caused a strain between him [Diddy] and I, because he’s like, ‘who does this kid think he is?’
“Ma$e was dating a girl, and I started dating the girl, and that caused a big thing,” Shyne went on. “We had to have a family meeting, like, ‘Yo, what are you doing? You’re like Kobe coming to the Lakers and you want to go after Shaq’s joint, you can’t do that!’”

He went on to reveal that he continued to move with arrogance until Brandy herself told him the hard truth the following year.
“The girl that’s also seeing Ma$e, she’s selling millions of records, she had the biggest record that year…we had an argument and she said, ‘yo, you’re nobody. You ain’t sell one record. You think you stylin’, you think you’re that, you’re nothing. You haven’t sold a record,’ and that hit me like the hand of God, because she was right.”
