After serving almost nine years in prison for assault and gun possession after shooting up Club New York in 1999, rapper Shyne has reportedly reconciled with his former mentor Diddy, who was charged in the shooting but acquitted.

In a Skype call from Paris, the former Bad Boy signee told MTV that he and Diddy have come to an understanding after speaking over the phone recently, and plan to meet in person in the near future, despite his prior allegations that Diddy was a "snitch."

"As far as Puff is concerned, that's been a long time coming," Shyne explained. "He had reached out to me twice while I was in the pen, but I just wasn't ready for it ... In retrospect, when you looked at the way he handled it, he held it down, he wore it. He ain't had nothing to say; always had good things to say. It was always, 'Yo, whatever Shyne need, we got him.'"
