Rapper Shyne Claims Diddy Set Him Up to Take the Fall, but Why Did He Go to Jail?

"I was defending [Diddy], and he turned around and called witnesses to testify against me."

Remember the days when music videos were all about catchy beats and simple lyrics, not confessions of actual crimes? We sure do! Rapper Shyne, born Jamal Barrow, was riding high during this golden era of music. But in 2001, his skyrocketing career came to a screeching halt when he was convicted and sentenced to nearly 10 years in prison.

One of his final tracks before the arrest, "Bonnie & Shyne," showcased his undeniable talent -- a talent that many believe was snatched away too soon.
