Shyne took the fall in Diddy's notorious 1999 shooting incident in a Manhattan club.

He served nine years and was deported back to his home country of Belize when he got out.

Shyne is now the leader of the political opposition in Belize, where his dad used to be Prime Minister.  He returned to the United States for the first time this month, with the help of Puff, who worked on getting him a visa.

However, things haven't always been so good between Shyne and Sean.

He spoke on forgiveness and mending his relationship with Diddy during a chat with HipHopDx.

“I think all families that I know on planet Earth have disputes and difficulties, and that’s part of a family,” he tells DX. “And I think you have to have perspective, and you have to have a vision and a focus as to where you’re going. I try not to focus on people and I try to focus on myself. Once I heal and once I get clarity as to my purpose and my mission, then taking the baggage of yesterday with me is not practical. You can’t move forward taking things from 23 years ago with you," he said.

“I have purged myself of whatever resentment and whatever blame and whatever anger and frustration and devastation,” he continues. “I’ve rid myself of that because I can’t carry that with me because I need to make room for all these people that I’m trying to help, that have so much baggage and such a load to carry, and I’m trying to lift them. So I can’t lift them up if I’ve got negativity holding me down.

“That’s how that came out, just in a different mind-state, just in a different place. And so once you’re in a different place, things open up. And I just think Diddy and I, we were always close. And that’s why it was so devastating and emotions were where they were. If it was just business, then you wouldn’t care and you’d just take it for what it was. So as I said, your family, you disagree, you might not speak for years, but you always love your family. So once you get to a place of forgiveness and a place of healing, then you can move on to where you need to go. Then you and your family can reconnect.”
