In an explosive revelation that’s shaking up the music industry, rapper Shype has accused Sean “Diddy” Combs of cheating him following the infamous October 1999 club shooting. The allegations, which came during a recent interview, have rekindled old rumors about the deadly incident that nearly destroyed both Shype’s career and Diddy’s reputation.

The shooting, which took place at New York’s October 2018 club, left three people injured and was one of the most high-profile cases of the late ’90s hip-hop scene. Shype, who was an up-and-coming rapper on Diddy’s Bad Boy Records label at the time, was arrested and later charged for his role in the shooting, serving nearly 10 years in prison. Diddy, who was present at the club that night, was not accused but faced the media’s criticism.

However, Shype’s recent comments suggest that the events of that night may not have happened as the public has long believed. According to Shype, Diddy was directly responsible for the violent altercation that led to the shooting. “Diddy set me up,” Shype said in the interview, claiming that the Bad Boy mogul had simply put him in a dangerous position. He claims that Diddy’s actions and decisions that night were designed to protect his own image, even if it meant sacrificing Shype’s future.

Shype quoted Diddy as saying that he had “thrown him overboard” and that the shooting and subsequent trial were part of a larger pattern of abuse and exploitation by the music mogul. “I was young and impressive, and Diddy knew exactly how to control the situation. He knew I would take the blame for everything,” Shype revealed. He also expressed regret for trusting Diddy and described their relationship as one marked by abuse and deceit.

The revelation has drawn attention to the complex and controversial history between the two. Lawyers and industry experts are now re-examining the events surrounding the shooting, questioning whether Diddy was really innocent or if there is a darker side to the story. Many have pointed to the fact that despite Shype’s corruption and lengthy prison sentence, Diddy continued to thrive in his career, raising suspicions of a deeper and more troubling power dynamic.

While Diddy has yet to respond to Shyé’s claims, the rapper’s bold remarks are certainly stirring up controversy. As more details emerge about the events of that fateful night, it seems the past of hip-hop’s most influential figures may be even more twisted than anyone ever imagined.
