After an eight-year jail stint following the 1999 club shooting involving Sean "P. Diddy" Combs, Jamal "Shyne" Barrow has converted to Orthodox Judaism. He now spends his days studying the Torah in Jerusalem and calls himself Moshe Levi Ben-David.

JERUSALEM — The rapper Shyne is singing a new tune: After serving eight years in prison for a nightclub shooting, the former protege of Sean "Diddy" Combs has converted to Orthodox Judaism, come to Jerusalem, and is devoting his days to the study of Torah while plotting a musical comeback.

His arrival in the Holy Land caps an unorthodox journey that began in Flatbush, Brooklyn, where he grew up and was shot at the age of 15. He then joined the high-flying hip-hop universe and ended up in a maximum security state prison before he was eventually deported to Belize— where his father happens to be prime minister.

You're wrong for this... and yet still... right. lol

An odd turn, but glad to see he's taking some productive charge of his life.
