Upon his release from prison in 2009, Shyne was almost immediately deported because of his blemished record and not being a U.S. citizen. Now almost 3 years later, he wants to come back to the states and he’s asking for the help of fans. Details below.
Since late 2009, Shyne has been living in his native Belize. During this time, Shyne signed a new contract with Def Jam Records, for a reported seven-figure contract. Last week, Shyne created a petition on the White House’s page, seeking a grant for a United States visa. The former Brooklyn resident is seeking 25,000 signatures in hopes of re-entering the U.S. Shyne, who converted to Judaism while in prison, is asking for the visa on the basis of good behavior and community service since his conviction.
