One was exonerated and one was convicted. And now, after standing as co-defendants in a trial stemming from a 1999 New York shooting, Sean "Puff Daddy" Combs and his rap protégé Jamal "Shyne" Barrow have bitter words for each other.
Barrow, who is in jail until an April 16 sentencing hearing, lashed out at Combs in an interview in New York weekly The Village Voice. "He proved that he was just there to save himself," the 21-year-old rapper said. "There are no boundaries to what he would do to exonerate himself. I had the Bible in front of me, and I was just praying that he wouldn't continue to lie." Barrow also alleged, as the prosecution had argued, that Combs and his attorneys got witnesses to lie on the stand: "[Witness Charise Myers] lied for him. Fine. But don't let her testify against me. That's when I couldn't take it anymore. I couldn't believe it. … I couldn't even look at him anymore."
