Rapper Jamal "Shyne" Barrow is reportedly being held by immigration officials and is facing possible deportation.
According to the rapper's lawyer, Shyne's citizenship is currently being reviewed.
His release is now under review, as representatives for the rapper revealed that the Brooklyn MC is being detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement at an unspecified facility in Western New York State. Officials are determining whether or not to deport the rapper, who was born in Belize, a rep explained. "Shyne is currently in federal custody while his future immigration status is determined," the rep said in a message to MTV News. Shyne attorney Oscar Michelen emphasized to MTV News on Tuesday afternoon that Shyne has not been released, contrary to media reports. (MTV)
Early reports claimed Shyne's departure was confirmed Tuesday (October 6) afternoon.
Shyne was released from prison today for being involved in a shooting involving mentor Sean "P. Diddy" Combs and actress Jennifer Lopez. A Clinton Correctional Facility staffer confirmed his release. Shyne, whose real name is Jamal Barrow, was charged in March 2001, with attempted murder, assault and reckless endangerment. (CBS News)
