Former Bad Boy rapper Shyne has made his peace with Sean “Diddy” Combs. The two have reportedly reconciled after an extended phone call. Shyne served nine years in prison following a 1999 New Year's Eve club shooting that involved Diddy and his then-girlfriend, pop star Jennifer Lopez. Shyne says all bitterness has passed.

“As far as Puff is concerned, that's been a long time coming," he said. "He had reached out to me twice while I was in the pen, but I just wasn't ready for it."

"I felt how I felt, I said what I said. In retrospect, when you looked at the way he handled it, he held it down, he wore it," he said. "He ain't had nothing to say; always had good things to say. It was always, 'Yo, whatever Shyne need, we got him.'”
