Shyne Freed but facing Deportation

Rapper Jamal "Shyne" Barrow was released from prison Tuesday after serving 10 years for a club shooting, but he was quickly taken into custody by immigration officials who may deport him to his native Belize because of his felony rap sheet.

Shyne has a green card, but U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokesman Mike Gilhooly said the artist "is in violation of U.S. immigration law," reports the New York Daily News. He offered no further details.

While in prison, Shyne changed his name to Moses Leviy in recognition of his Jewish mother. His father is now the prime minister of Belize.

Recently, Jay-Z denied a report that he had visited Shyne at the Woodbourne Correctional Facility to sign him to a record deal.
