Moses “Shane” Barrow opened up in an interview with Cam’ron on Talk to escape About his involvement in the 1999 New York City nightclub shooting, in which he was convicted of first-degree assault and sentenced to 10 years in prison.
The former Bad Boy recording artist recalled his mentor Sean “Diddy” Combs, who was considered a suspect in the case, getting into an altercation with a Brooklyn crew he knew, particularly Matthew “Scar” Allen, who allegedly got into an argument with Combs before the dispute turned violent.
Witnesses testified that Allen shouted at Diddy, “I’m going to kill you!” Before the shooting occurred, according to what she reported ABC News.
“They were not people to be underestimated. They were not people to be taken for granted,” Barrow told Cam. “So when they started saying, ‘They’re going to pop your shirt,’ and I saw someone trying to get a gun, I acted in self-defense.”
He continued, “But they weren’t my problem. It was Puff’s problem.” “He was the one who was arguing with them, and I was just being a good friend because I saw danger.”
According to 2001 ABC News In the article, Barrow’s attorney, Ian Niles, admitted that his client had a firearm inside the nightclub, claiming that Shine fired his weapon twice into the air after someone in Allen’s entourage fired the first shot.
“This was an incident precipitated by ‘Scar,'” Niles said, asserting that Barrow’s actions were in self-defense.
Barrow explained to Cam that his split-second decision was the difference between life and death, and that his younger self would only choose the former over the latter.
He said: “At that stage, I always preferred to have 12 people try me rather than have six carry me,” referring to his detention by the police instead of being transported by pallbearers.
In the Hulu documentary Dear ShaneBarrow claimed he was “fully prepared to be the fall guy” in the nightclub shooting. A representative for Combs, who was facing up to 15 years in prison, called his former student’s claim “unequivocally false.”
“Mr. Combs categorically denies Mr. Barrow’s allegations, including any suggestion that he engineered Mr. Barrow’s fall or victimization by directing witnesses to testify against him,” the representative said. “These allegations are unequivocally false.”
“Mr. Combs was acquitted of all charges related to the 1999 New York club incident and has consistently maintained his innocence,” the statement continued. “He cannot accept or condone any characterization of his actions as ‘satanic’ or ‘malicious’.”
in Interview with Stephen A. Smith Last year, Barrow said he had since forgiven Combs, but maintained the stricken business mogul had “ruined” his life.
