Shyne (aka Moshe Levi Ben-David) and Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs pose for a photo at the Kenzo Ready-To-Wear Fall/Winter 2012 show as part of Paris Fashion Week on Sunday (March 4) in Paris, France. They also attended the Givenchy Ready-To-Wear Fall/Winter 2012 show with rapper/designer Kanye West (more photos below).
As you all may know, Shyne served 9 years in prison for his involvement in the 1999 New York club shooting that injured 3 people. He was rumored to be the fall guy for Diddy (because the mogul was acquitted of all charges) and the shooting played a major role in the ending of Diddy’s relationship with then pop star Jennifer Lopez.
In early 2006 (while still serving time), he changed his name from Jamal Michael Barrow to Moshe Levi Ben-David to reflect his grandmother’s Jewish heritage. He is now a practicing Orthodox Jew (hence his new appearance) and living in Jerusalem after being extradited out of the U.S. to his home country of Belize in 2009. He is also reportedly working on new music and a comeback.
There was some definite black star power at The 84th Annual Academy Awards on Sunday (February 26) in Hollywood, California. Held at the Hollywood & Highland Center, the event showcased some historic moments in black history.
Actress Octavia Spencer took home the ‘Best Supporting Actress’ Oscar for her portrayal of Minny in ‘The Help’. Mogul Oprah Winfrey and legendary actor James Earl Jones both received the ‘Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award’ for their humanitarian work. Director T.J. Martin (pictured above next to Diddy) became the first African-American director to win an Oscar for his documentary, ‘Undefeated’. Diddy, who is an executive on the film is not listed as a winner on the official winner’s list, so we’re not sure if he will receive an award.
If you’re wondering why producer Pharrell Williams made an appearance, he played in the official band (along with Sheila E) during the ceremony – helping to co-write exclusive scores with composer Hans Zimmer. Last but not least, Grammy award winning singer/musician Esperanza Spalding performed a beautiful rendition of Louis Armstrong’s classic song, “What a Wonderful World” during the ‘In Memoriam’ part of the show.
