Shyne Being RELEASED from Prison TODAY!

According to hiphopdx, Rapper Shyne is expected to be released from prison today. The rapper who is now 30, was sentenced to 10 years in June of 2001 for charges stemming from a high-publicized 1999 shooting incident involving Diddy and Jennifer Lopez.

Diddy spoke to HOT97 recently on Shyne's release, stating, “It's a blessing that he's coming home...I spoke to him like a couple of weeks ago and he sounded like he was in good spirits. I know he can't wait to get home. I know he is definitely going to heat the whole scene up. He was definitely one of [many] talented young artists that I had the pleasure to work with. I'm quite sure he's been using his time wisely and has some heat.”

UPDATE: According to Shyne's lawyer he was NOT released!
