Rapper Shyne arrived in his home country of Belize at around 2:40 p.m. local time on Thursday after being officially deported from the United States following his release from jail.

Friend and radio personality Angie Martinez spoke about Shyne. “Shyne is one of the strongest people I know and he’s handling this situation just as I’d expect him to. It must be frustrating for all of his friends and family,” she said according to missinfo.tv. “He served his time, and keeps getting all these different dates and conflicting information. But he’s a soldier, he’s dealing with it.”

Shyne will likely continue his fight to stay in the United States. A New Yorker since 13-years-old, he was raised by his mother and grand mother in Brooklyn. They still live in the United States.

How do you feel about this? Should he be able to stay in the States since he served his time?
