Shyne is Now an Orthodox Jew Living in Israel

   

shyne (cornell shirt)*Shyne, the rapper who was jailed in the Sean Combs shooting incident in 1999, is now living in Israel as an Othodox Jew, reports the New York Daily News.

The 34-year-old, whose real name is Jamal Barrow, is now known as Moses Levi, and is currently working on new material.

Speaking about his change of religion and lifestyle, Shyne told the paper, “All these rules, rules, rules. But you know what you have if you don’t have rules? You end up with a bunch of pills in your stomach.”

Shyne, whose legal name is now Moses Levi, in the neighborhood of Mea Shearim, in Jerusalem.

The rapper was recently released from prison after serving a ten-year sentence for the Club New York shooting. Diddy was charged with gun possession, but was cleared in the high-profile trial.

Shyne is now studying at a rabbinical school in Israel and is reportedly preparing five new albums.

The 34-year-old will release the first two records, entitled “Messiah” and “Gangland” on Def Jam Records. He cannot legally enter the US but is planning to appeal the citizenship ruling.

  1. I’m sure he viewed as just a “pretender” by his new neighbors.

    These pictures are photo shopped

  4. yea, right…sounds great. cant wait to pick up his latest cd when it hits the streets “Yom Kippur Days & Kosher Cristal Nights” :twisted:

  5. He changed his name and religion YEARS ago while he was in prison. This isn’t news by any means. I thought once he got out he was going to continue to use SHYNE as his rap name. Oh well, he isn’t going to sell records anyway. Good luck though my fellow Belizean brother.

  6. Lmao @ huey!

    Okay, why is it that he does not want to live in his home country? Why is it that he’d rather be anywhere else than there? What gives?

    • The same thoughts crossed my mind. And why on earth would he want to settle in a hot bed for terrorist attacks is baffling to say the least. I wonder if he has really relocated since everyone is not welcomed to just plop down as they wish.

  8. he better watch his ass AND his p’s & Q’s over there. Them folks don’t take the shit like we do in doling out justice….isn’t he from Belize or something like that? My and my tangled head thinks something was going to pop-off that may concern Puff, and since Shyne took the fall for him…….well?
