Hulu has released a trailer for the upcoming documentary “The Honorable Shyne”, which tells the remarkable story of Moses “Shyne” Barrow, the Grammy Award-winning musician turned politician. As a rising star in the late 1990s, Shyne’s promising rap career was cut short after being charged in a high-profile New York nightclub shooting, along with rap impresario Sean “Puffy” Combs.

In the trailer, Shyne says that he was “set up.” 

“I was absolutely set up to be the fall guy,” Shyne claimed. “I spent 10 years in prison, but I was able to move on. There’s a time to pivot, there’s a time to transition.”

 

 

Shyne was convicted in 2001 and sentenced to ten years in prison, while Combs was acquitted. After prison, Shyne reemerged in his native Belize, where he transitioned from music to politics, ultimately becoming the Leader of Opposition Party. His journey is one of redemption, resilience, and transformation.

This documentary provides an intimate look at Shyne’s personal evolution as he navigates fame, incarceration and a return home to Belize, where he finds new purpose and strives to lead his country to a brighter future.

“The Honorable Shyne” will be released on Hulu and Hulu On Disney+ in the United States on November 18th 2024. No international release details have been announced yet.
