Since his last album was released on Def Jam, I figured that everyone already knew that Shyne no longer had any contractual relationship as a recording artist with Bad Boy Records. But, I guess some were unclear, so Diddy confirmed it to AllHipHop.com.

"I looked forward to this day," Diddy said. "The whole situation was a tragic situation. He's a young man that has a whole life ahead of him to live to be successful and to come out here and put his foot in the game."

He had previously discussed the rapper's release on "The Ed Lover Show."
