Sources in the U.S., namely HOT97’s resident gossip monger Miss Info, have claimed that Shyne, who has been locked up since taking the heat for tha infamous Diddy/J.Lo nightclub shooting incident, has signed a seven figure deal with Def Jam records.
After being deported to his homeland of Belize in October record companies stood up and took note, with a bidding war quickly ensuing for the MC’s services. Reportedly Shyne turned down an offer from Jimmy Iovine and Dr. Dre at Interscope, in addition to others, in favor of joining back up with L.A. Reid at Def Jam. Whether it could be that Dr. Dre’s famous work ethic was too much for institutionalised rapper or other issues were at work remains to be seen.
Miss Info also stated that the Rapper has reportedly been working with Kyambo “Hip-Hop” Joshua, who with Gee Roberson, also manages Lil Wayne, Drake, Young Jeezy, and other artists. Due to complications that have arisen from the convicted felon’s deportation from Belize, it has been reported he will be working out of London. Rest assured as soon as he touches down in London Town Rap Ireland will be on-location with an exclusive interview.
