Shyne will be deported to his home country of Belize later this month. The once promising rap star was released from an upstate New York prison last month after serving nearly 9 years for his involvement in a club shootout with Diddy and Jennifer Lopez in 1999. One person was severely wounded. The “Bonnie & Shyne” star is currently in an immigration holding facility in Buffalo, NY awaiting deportation Shyne, who is the son of the Prime Minister of Belize, will have to appeal the decision if he hopes to be allowed entry back into the States, Hot 97 DJ Angie Martinez revealed on Tuesday.

Shyne’s team is fighting to stay in the US where his mother and his grandmother live and where they raised him….but it seems like he’s going to have to continue the fight from Belize. Shyne will be released from Immigration custody but will then be deported to Belize soon. He has Harvard Professor Charles Ogletree advocating on his behalf in concert with his legal team. They’re still urging fans to reach out to Governor Patterson’s office to petition for Shyne’s pardon (click here for Paterson’s email and his address) but deportation is imminent.
