According to reports, Shyne wants to sever ties with Island Def Jam ASAP. Industry insiders are talking about a visit Jay-Z recently paid to Po to resolve matters between the company and Shyne. Shyne expressed anger with the label's lack of promotion and marketing of his Godfather Buried Alive album.
Recently, Shyne asserted that he only joined Def Jam because Antonio "L.A" Reid assured his project would be given top priority. Shyne is now blasting Reid and telling people that the mogul doesn't care about Hip-Hop and is only concerned with R&B.
Several weeks after Godfather's release, a court imposed New York's "Son Of Sam" Law, which prohibits any convicted felons from cashing in from their crimes. Sources say, the court has temporarily stopped Universal from handing any money to Shyne.
In a handwritten letter dated January 25 obtained by the New York Post, Shyne wrote, "Unfortunately this partnership is not working . . . Please prove Russell Simmons wrong. Show that you are concerned about this culture and more important, the prophet that sits in a cage, Shyne!" A source close to Reid said that he has yet to read the letter.
