Talk about opening up old wounds…J Lo is being forced to testify in the infamous night club shooting case against Diddy:”

Jennifer Lopez has been subpoenaed to testify in a lawsuit filed against hip-hop mogul Sean Combs over his involvement in a 1999 New York club shooting. The Latina was dating Combs at the time of the incident, and was present at the now-defunct Club New York when shots were fired in the venue on 27 December 1999, injuring two people.

Combs’ rap protege Shyne, real name Jamal Barrow, is currently serving a 10-year jail term after he was found guilty of assault, reckless endangerment and gun possession in the trial following the shooting. The rap heavyweight was arrested for various charges including weapons violations, but was acquitted of all counts.

However, both Combs and Shyne are currently fighting a $130 million (GBP65 million) civil suit filed by victim Natania Reuben, who was shot in the face during the incident.

Combs completed his deposition in the case in March (08), but now Lopez must reveal all she knows at an upcoming deposition after being served by Reuben’s lawyers last week (ends20Jun08). She was not called as a witness in the 2001 criminal trial and split from Combs shortly afterwards.

A judge will soon be required to decide whether Shyne acted alone or as part of Combs’ Bad Boy collective – the record label the hip-hop giant founded in 1993 – before the case goes to trial.

If both Combs and Shyne are required to stand trial, it will be up to a jury to decide who should take responsibility for the shooting.

Shyne, who did not testify during the criminal trial, may be required to take the stand and testify about the incident. He is currently incarcerated at the Clinton Correctional Facility in New York State, and could be released as early as next year (09).

    Shyne is no long referred to as Jamal Barrow either.

    It is what it is. She is being requested to do what anyone else who has been subpoenaed is requested to do.

    You know Marc Anthony is not happy about this. He’s had J.Lo on lockdown for awhile now.

  • Its6amHoGetOut

    The courts should make Puffy pay her outta his I never paid “Total, Shyne, Craig Mack, Black Rob, GDep, Day26, Making the band one, FuzzBubble” $500,000 per event party fund.

    Dang, Puff was like 3 or 4 dudes ago, and she gotta go back to court for his bull.

    I never knew what she saw if Diddy . . .unless it was access to a recording studio . . .but even then

    She is probably saying “But but but I was J-LO back then. Things have changed!! I’m JENNIFER now! I hang with white folks now. I swear!!”

  • honeychild

    Well, Meeko I second that emotion….

    Karma is real, he has been the Dog Father for a long time, dogging a lot of people out for years. He better be glad he’s rich or he’d be somebodys B**** in prison. The Legal system is for lawyers and judges and prison to make money half the common people don’t even know the law until its too late or can’t afford the law. Puffy bought the law and Johnny, but he can’t buy a jury.

  • wall taker

    $130 million she’s lost her mind if you get that much from getting shot puff needs to come to baltimore and shoot me in the face now lol

    @ Aalimah: She is probably saying “But but but I was J-LO back then. Things have changed!! I’m JENNIFER now! I hang with white folks now. I swear!!”

    LOL….ya’ll leave my girl alone. I love JLo. still funny, though.

    j-hoe let suge knight wear that ass out!womp womp/wanna-be-white chick

  • 2cute4u

    I don’t see that Shyne would have that kind of money, but the altercation did involve Diddy otherwise it wouldn’t have gone to trial in the first place, so he should be paying this girl some money anyway, and if he’s not going to give her some type compensation outside of court, then hell yeah she needs to get it any way she can from his ass. I just don’t see why Jennifer Lopez needs to be involved…

  • 2cute4u

    LMAO @ honey brown!!! “I hang with white folks now…”

  • 2cute4u

    My bad I misquoted, Aalimah said that! anyway it was funny!

  • http://www.myspace.com/sbenitez santana caress

    I dont think Jlo is a “wanna-be-white chick”

  • spanish mami

    j-ho is probably very mad she made a name for herself and sprinkle white stardust powder all over herself and now she is wwwhite and the black ding dong is haunting her again during court recess she will hook puffy up again legs wide open in the limo

  • Aalimah

    @santana caress

    I do not think she is a “wanna-be-white chick” either. I think she WAS a wanna-be-black chick when it suited her career to be one. After she achieved a small measure of success (off the dollar of her black fan base), she returned to her “roots”. Now she is a has-been. She thought she was established enough to jump ship but she was not. Now she’s over.

    @ Aalimah

    true, true.

    @ Aalimah

    true, true.

  • no lay-away

    so the people’s court will not find out that she is a latino but white chick instead

  • Sanford

    I wonder how much money is paying Shyne to keep his mouth shut? $1 million for each year served.

    {She is probably saying “But but but I was J-LO back then. Things have changed!! I’m JENNIFER now! I hang with white folks now. I swear!!”}

    LMAO you are so right. She ain’t Jenny from the block no more! BTW I bet Marc is pissed.

  • Binary Star

    “The Latina”? Really?

    Nice writing.

  • Whatchaknoaboutdat?

    J. Lo knew that they as unfinished business… a long time ago. She should’ve been called to testify for Shyne… but he did not get even a smidge of a fair trial.

  • Dolla Bill

    This should be very interesting….Jlo will be alright but Shyne will get in that ass. LOL

  • Negrita Tan Rica

    Why they gotta point out “The Latina”… my goodness. Anyways, I had no idea the shooting had been that serious back then. I was only 17 at the time, but if someone got shot in the face then yes, this needs to be reopened. These celebrities have to take accountability for their actiones and is no fair for somebody to take the hit alone when more than one person was involved.

  • blissful truth

    you know what they say. lay down with dogs, get up with fleas. all these years and she still can’t beat off this dirty flea. people called jlo’s mother racist for not liking diddy but she wasn’t racist she was just trying to protect her daughter from associating with a lowlife. now it’s ten years later and here’s the proof that her mother knew best. jennifer, get this over with and run back to your proud and strong married family and never look back at this filthy philandering flea from your past again.

  • jjones

    yall need to get out of yall mind puffy is a hoe, he ain’t get far as he has by be a square

    Wonder why my pic does not show

  • Meather

    I completely agree that she is a complete ditz. Her blondeness is beyond annoying to just down right agravating. I viewed her blog from black&white love community at blackcentury.com where many other black people find fun there

    That’s just crazy!

  • http://natashassecret.blogspot.com Malaika

    “The Latina”??? Was that necessary? I can’t imagine an article being written about some white woman and they describe her as, “The White”. I mean, COME ON!

    Her being Latina is completely irrelevant to this story so why bring it up?????

  • Aalimah

    @Malaika

    It reminds me of the OJ case. They just could not come out and say she was white so they kept referring to her as his “Beautiful BLONDE wife”…lol.

  • blissful truth

    diddy is the biggest mistake and shame of her life and i don’t blame her one bit for not wanting to be associated with him. jennifer is not acting white or trying to be white. she was slumming it and living beneath herself with diddy. only kim porter an unwed multiple illegitimate babymama is proud of this low life.

  • It jsut me

    How is diddy below J. LO? Last I checked he is worth way more then her. I dont like him but dont make J Lo look like some princess deal with some corner bum.

  • It jsut me

    Wealth

    Diidy- 346 million

    JLO- 110 million

    Diddy was probably worth that in 99. Again I dont like the man but lets not fake it here and make JLO look like some innocent women caught up with some thugs. JLO used him like others to get where she is and wanted to be.

  • DA TRUFF HURTZ!!!

    NOT A BIG FAN OF EITHER OF THEM…

    BOTTOM LINE IS THEY ARE JUST LIKE MOST EVERYBODY ELSE.

    MOST PEOPLE DO & SAY SHADY MESS.

    IT’S JUST MOST PEOPLE AIN’T ON TV OR GOT MILLIONS.

  • Earth Sign

    Mo Money Mo Problems Biatch

  • blissful truth

    diddy is below jlo because he has not righted his wrongs. like her or not jlo has turned her life around with marc and has made a strong marriage and family. diddy made two more out of wedlock babies and one more out of relationship baby and is still hoeing around on his main baby mama. that is why diddy is lower than anybody and everybody trying to do right and it don’t matter how much money he has. diddy is morally bankrupt. cause only a morally bankrupt person lets someone else do the time for his crime. stay strong shyne and stay looking forward jlo.

  • Karen

    Shyne chose to play Billy Badass and started blasting a gun–not Puff or JLo. So, how is Puff at fault in all of this?

    Had it not been for his celebrity, he would’ve never been arrested and on trial in the first place.

  • fanny adams

    wow – jlo nose has really spread since having her twins

  • Katrina

    YAWN

  • Katrina

    @blissful truth

    Why are you riding J-lo so hard you must be either white or latina. No offense just stating the facts. Your comment about Puffy : “two more out of wedlock babies and one more out of relationship baby and is still hoeing around on his main baby mama”. Face reality, she slept with Puffy to become more famous, Puffy the same, it was an ego trip for both of them and they were both more well-known afterward. Before you write think. Think of the relationships and marriages she destroyed while she went from man to man. She is not without fault, she knew who puffy was and who he hung with, she liked the notoriety, and she used that to her advantage period. I’m not down with what Puffy does, but are you without sin? If you are then cast your stone.

  • blissful truth

    @ Katrina

    hey, you said it, i must be white or latina because i think having a zillion kids of out wedlock is disgusting. not all black people think babymamaing and babydadding is cute like a chanel bag. diddy is foul. jlo was married to chris judd, engaged to ben affleck, is married first then with family with marc, and she had the sense enough to not add to the diddy bastard collection. that is the difference. surprise! there are black people on this planet with enough morals to see this blissful truth. cast the first stone? wow, lets get religious to defend a ho thug.
