Its official, Shyne was officially deported to Belize yesterday. The rapper was released from U.S. immigration and boarded a New York Continental flight headed towards Belize.

According to local outlets, he arrived in Belize around 4:40 p.m. EST, escorted by a U.S. Marshall following his deportation. When he arrived in Belize, it was reported that he was welcomed by his father Dean Barrow, Prime Minister of Belize, his mother Imeon Myvett and other members of his family, as well as fans.

Shyne's team told 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."

Hip Hop fans will regard this as a sad ending to the infamous Shyne saga that has been brewing ever since the 1999 incident that occurred in a club in New York City.

Shyne, born Jamal Barrow, was involved in a shooting in which Diddy and his then-girlfriend Jennifer Lopez was caught up in. Shyne ended up serving a nine-year sentence for the incident and since earlier this month, Shyne has been fighting for his right to stay in the United States. Shyne had hopes of returning to his rap career and his fans were anxiously anticipating his return. Unfortunately, due to immigration issues, Shyne is no longer able to stay in the United States and will now be residing in Belize.

There are rumors circulating that Shyne is now planning to start a new rap career in Europe.
