Posted by Atlanta, GA – Former Bad Boy rapper Shyne is back on U.S. soil. The Leader of Belize’s Opposition party has returned to the United States with help from Diddy, who assisted in securing Shyne a visa, according to Baller Alert.
Shyne’s return as a diplomat will allow him to improve relations between the U.S. and Belize by meeting with senators and members of Congress in the coming weeks.
“It feels great,” he says in the clip below. “It feels great to be in America representing Belize.”

Shyne, who hopes to follow in his father’s footsteps one day and become prime minister of Belize, is a true redemption story with his return to the United States.
The “Bonnie & Shyne” rapper was convicted in 2001 on two counts of assault, reckless endangerment and gun possession for his role in a December 1999 nightclub shooting. He served eight years before being deported to Belize in 2009.
