Shyne was officially deported to his native Belize on Wednesday, according to reports. He arrived in the nation around 2:40pm local time Thursday, escorted by a U.S. Marshall. He was processed by local authorities at the airport, then was welcomed by his father Dean Barrow, Prime Minister of Belize, his mother Imeon Myvett, as well as other members of his family.

Reps for the once promising rapper tell the media that he would now like to be called Moses Michael Leviy to reflect his conversion to Judaism.

“Shyne is home. He wants to say how happy he is to be home and to be a free man,” said the rapper’s uncle, Michael Finnegan, current Minister of Housing. “He would love to have a conversation with the media, but because he was legally advised by Professor Ogletree, he must not speak to the media because he doesn’t want to prejudice his situation with the US government or with the Belize government. So he asked me to ask you that he does not want to disrespect you the media, but please to understand what is going on.”
