Shyne Speaks From Jail

Former Bad Boy artist Shyne called in to New York radio station Hot 97 on June 4th from the Clinton Correctional Facility granting his first interview since being sentenced to prison in 2001 for his involvement in a 1999 club shooting. The incarcerated rapper told radio personality Angie Martinez he expects to be released from jail early next year pending appeal. He also maintained his innocence in the shooting, for which he was sentenced to 10 years for the charges. “There’s no proof I shot anybody,” Shyne contended. “As far as those charges, I’m innocent. You don’t get 10 years for gun possession. You get probation.”
