Jamal Barrow aka Shyne aka Moses levi, now Moshe Levi Ben David

Moshe Levi ben David

Moshe Levi Ben David formerly known as Moses Levi, formerly known as Shyne, and formerly known as Jamal Barrow, was featured on the BBC this morning. The BBC covered Belize’s musical ambassador’s recent visit to Israel following his conversion to Judaism that according to reports included a ceremonial circumcision.  But he wasn’t there to promote Belize, Belizean music or indeed anything Belizean.  The feature described Shyne’s mother as an Ethiopian refugee woman and did not at all mention that his father was the PM or that Moshe Levi Ben David is Belize’s musical ambassador.  The BBC piece was aired this morning.

    Belize’s Foreign Ministry is a farce! In ANY other democratic nation in the world, Ambassadorial appointments require approval by Cabinet and ratification by the Senate. I’m ashamed at what Belize has become.

  2. Vani says:

    What a shame to the nation…a music ambassador that doesn’t even promote the country’s music or artists. Obsviously he doesn’t give a damn about being the music ambassador…I say we give the title to someone else who is a Belizean at heart and a musician at that. Suggestions??

  3. Earl Grey says:

    Well…….. WE SEE WHERE SHYNE IS COMING FROM……….

  4. Time says:

    THE POOR CHILD IS CONFUSED… DONT KNOW WHICH NAMES HE WANTS TO USED… LOL

  5. Tek It says:

    I see the Barrow family is now deeply in trenched with the Illuminati. Shine might be fooling most in Belize but sure as hell not fooling me.

    Our leader is Zionist pig and so is his son and the rest of his family, Shine has been indoctrinated by the entertainment industry a long time ago.

    Do some homework people; get a clue and realize that your little Belize is no longer the virgin it use to be, there are very powerful, evil forces that has entered our jewel and the illuminated ones have been ‘established’ as our elected leader or do you think it is all coincidence of what is currently happening in Belize?

  6. mole says:

    oh .so now no one got nothing to say ! lol … i told y’all shyne don’t care about belize . i hope ur happy 🙁

  7. fromafar says:

    ouch!!!!

  8. Common Sense says:

    No surprises….worthless piece of crap…..Should of gone all the way and changed his name to the other great jew – JUDAS.

  9. Stephen says:

    Is he ashamed of our country, he should be remove immediately as he is an embarrassment to our nation. Stop giving idiots titles and choose the right people, there are plenty Belizean who deserve to be musical ambassador. Next thing we will heard is that he is a terrorist as he want to be a MUSLIM. You do not have to go to Jerusalem or change your name to find GOD. Just have love in your heart and believe in HIM and he will find you.

  10. madaras says:

    SHYNE DON’T COME BACK HERE!!!!

  11. lany says:

    Don’t tell me you expected himt o speak about BELIZE??? Like father like son. USERS!!!! Haters Start your commenting. The truth hurts.

  12. Sam Browne says:

    This retard (sorry Kim) this “Bally” is a legend in his own lunchtime. Born with a silver spoon in his ear. Come on Belize if we don’t take ourselves seriously how the F#@$ can we expect the rest of the world to. Wonder if I can get a posting somewhere as the ambassador of Bull Shyne!

  13. Sam Browne says:

    “Ceremonial circumcision” hmmmm methinks they threw away the wrong scrap of skin.

  14. juice says:

    shyne a ediat

  15. Al says:

    Shyne went through all that pain for nothing, becasue after Jesus died circumcision was no longer necessary as a part of the cleansing ritual. This is just one more nail in the coffin to show the nepotism that exists in Belize, Fonseca’s, Barrow’s, Awe’s, Wood’s, Briseno’s,Hulse’s just add all the names to this list and you can see for yourself how screwed the people of Belize are. This is why people need to encourage their children to get an education to change the country. I want to come back to Belize and teach Critical Thinking and Leadership development to raise up reasoning minds and people who can lead and not wait for someoneelse to tell them where they are going.

  16. Proud Belizean says:

    I ask myself, how the hell he is still musical ambassador?

    Vani, that name should be given to one of the three kings that is still alive since them no give it to Mr. Peters.

    common sense, I agree…

  17. luo says:

    @ al….. yup we need that but somehow even in school the so call elites pressure the regular student….so we need help in every way possible…..it has always been that man want s power but unfortunately we all face the same destiny we all die….. so hopefully we get the younger generation to think about leadership….seriously

  18. belizean goddess says:

    and what part of shyne mom is Ethiopian ppl r funny. yes shyne dont care abt belize i mean he didnt really grow up there and it start from his parents they didnt in still much abt belize in him so what can we say, but i wish him best of luck

  19. John Boy,Carson,Ca says:

    Let the man live his life.If he want to be a Jew then so be it.You can’t live your life for other people.

  20. daveyt says:

    He’s working his way back to the USA, via Isreal now. Well, he should be stripped of the Musical Ambassador’s post, and, if he discards his Belize Passport for an Isreali one, denied entry back into Belize. Not that he intends coming back – no big money in recording in this little backwater third world country.

    I said before that he doesn’t give a damn about Belize, and the only reason he was here is because he got kicked out of the USA. He’s now on stage 2 of getting back there – and good riddance. With a bit of luck Hammas might have him in their sights in the near future. best he doesn’t build his house within range of their rockets!

  21. ProudBzean says:

    The man needs help…this is an out cry… he is lost in his hurt. He is buckling under the pressure. Regardless of his name, within he is the same person. That’s what he needs to deal with and come to terms with.

  22. GUINEA GRASS Observer says:

    THIS IS THE REASON FOR THE MINISTER OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS VISIT TO ISRAEL???

    Erlington gone set-up arrangement for Shye to live there in Israel…

  23. Edith says:

    This is the man Belizeans were praising? The same one they held a motorcade for? This young man has absolutely no loyalty to either Belize or Belizeans. While i understand he doesn’t have a good relationship with his father, his mother is still Belizean. He was named Belze’s ambassador to music yet he doesn’t respect Belize enough to give it props or mention! We should extend the same treatment to him.

  24. Rizzo says:

    Nice… I think this guy represents everything about Belize. NOTHING!

  25. Learsiman says:

    He should be kicked out of Belize just like the US kicked his ugly @$$ out…

  26. Angel Eyez says:

    Oh my….nothing new people..nothing new….the things we have to endure as Belizeans (shaking my head)….that’s what we get for always laying down and allowing people to walk over us then sweet us up election time. Who authorize that poor confused kid to be Ambassador?…I worry bout how things get done in this country.

    Other people kids go to jail…they are looked down upon…but the “PM” rotten apple get a prestigious tittle?….damn…what next?

  27. a tired belizean says:

    whatever his name is, it still means = FAKE!

  28. Realist says:

    What a hateful bunch of people, while you spend time being spiteful and envious, this man is getting somewhere with his life.

  29. Angel Eyez says:

    You know what…I’m going straight to jail and when I come back out I better be Governor General and my fellow Belizeans better NOT complain either. Meet me at the gate of Hattieville Ramada or my motorcade back home and I want flowers and a crown!!! Since da soh it di happen da Belize now.

    It’s a damn shame…a real slap in the face for our hard working Belizean Artists who are here trying to represent us and our culture…is our very own not good enough? Now “the artist formerly known as Shyne” who don’t even sing anything close to “belizeans music” is in Israel repping Us?…I don’t think so…I AM Belize and he sure DON’T rep ME!!!

  30. macal rivera says:

    next you wen hear his name da !@#$% !@#$%

  31. Proud Belizean says:

    Maybe his next name will be “Moshe Levi been hiding with Bin Laden”. I think he di smoke it green…like father…like son….

    He should have said that his father is responsible for all the corruption going on in Belize.

  32. Stip his @ss of the Ambassador title says:

    Channel 5: next poll you put should read: “Do you support stripping Shyne of his Musical Ambassador title?” See the responses you get.

  33. Jahfiyah says:

    Jah say still leave ALL judgement unto HIM

  34. CollieGial says:

    It is a shame that Shyne feels that way about Belize. It has nothing to do with where you were raised. I was born and raised in the states to Belizean parents and I embrace my culture and my people. If he was ashamed of Belize or being Belizean then why accept the title as music ambassador. I feel sorry for him. He has become a disgrace to Belize. People from other caribbean countries big up their country and try everything to make it a better place. For example Wyclef Jean. That is why Shyne will never be more than what he is right now. A lost man trying to hold on to a dream that is gone.

  35. SHYNE says:

    Tomorrow i’m goign to be CHinese. Im gonna fry some chicken from Li Chee. I grew up on Curasow Street. But yo, im gonna be buddah if a wannah be. Im an Artiste! My mother was an Ethiopian Jew Yo, don’t hate.

  36. evette says:

    Well from the first time he never ever rep belize.He went to Ja to make his Video an even said he hates his father,god dont like ugly as right after that his dumb @$$ was lock up. WHy didnt they deported his @$$ Belizean like to big up people for wat they have an dont see that he is str8 using Belize till some next country will accept him.all his Cd my son had I ban out my house lucky they was on booth leg..as i think he is a real scum bag jus like his family..all of them or a bunch of nobody’s…..

  37. houston says:

    WHO SAY DAT !@#$% IN THE Illuminati is wrong when you join it someone of your family member have to die and if you refuse it you going to loose everything he refuse

  38. BZNinCALI says:

    Time; I agree with you, the man has lost his identity if he ever had one.

    To the person who mentioned how long he has been out of the country, let’s not forget that a third of that time was spent in jail. Many Belizeans throughout the US still maintain ties with the Belizean community at home & where we live & choose to stay away after dealing with some of the prizes we have encountered at the consulates & embassies.

    So we have another Ambassador, another family member in an undeserved position. As long as we recycle the same people & the average Belizean continue to accept that they are inconsequential, our elected official have no reason to listen to our complaints, let alone change these practices.

    He’ll be back as soon as they finish separating him from that hush money

  39. So Disappointed says:

    I hope all the ones that were so honored to be in his presence because he has money feels stupid now because obviously he does not think much of any of you since he does not even want to be associated with the country and on top of that he don’t even want his mother to be from Belize I did not know Mr. Finnegan was from Ethiopa how did his sister become a refugee from Ethiopa. Money talks in Belize people as long as you have money in Belize no one think your S–T stinks!!!!!!

  40. So Disappointed says:

    REalist you have issues you need help!!!!!!!!!!!

  41. michael says:

    you know what,he`s not as stupid as you all think,he grew up in AMERICA and see how the JEWS used the rest of the world to get what they want and need and then keep all of their money and properties within their families and say to hell with the rest of us.what the people of Belize needs to do is exactly what Puffy did to him and do not allow him to come back to our country. LET HIM STAY IN ISRAEL WITH THE REST OF JEWS.

  42. OHPlease says:

    You cannot be mad at that man for not wanting to rep Belize, His father has treated him horribly his entire life and never really acknowledge him . Further more Belize is not currently giving anyone in the country anything to be proud of with all this crime, corruption and murder going on and lets be honest on none of ya’ll really care about Shyne, Moses, Moshe or whatever his name is , where his career is going or anything about his personal life, the interview was about his trip to Israel not Belize and that what it was about. If you don’t like it don’t watch the interview, Simply as that!

  43. Tek It says:

    DEAN O. BARROW WILL GO DOWN IN HISTORY AS THE BIGGEST MISTAKE BELIZEANS HAVE EVER MADE. HE WILL BE AN EPIPHANY OF WHY A BLACK MAN SHOULD NOT BE PUT INTO A LEADERSHIP POSITION AND THAT IS A DAMN SHAME AND DISCREDIT TO BLACK PEOPLE IN BELIZE, BECAUSE BARROW MAY CALL HIMSELF A BLACK MAN BUT THAT !@#$ BLOOD AND INSIDES ARE GREEN (MONEY).

  44. belize says:

    This guy obviously knows what he’s doing. He wants to “change” so the US can take him back. He had to travel so far to the “Land of God” to prove his devotion and obviously someone stupid as him is helping him. The US is not as stupid as “some people” in Belize. BELIZE i hope you’ve learned to stop taking rejects from the US and make them leaders in our country. This is one of the reasons we are known as a third world country.

    Belize’s music Ambassador? What does he know about music? What does he know about the music of Belize? What does he know about Belize? As far as i know he only remembers his mommy 🙁 Ashamed for our nation! But i am glad. If this didn’t occur Belize would never open their eyes. I believe our country is finally opening their eyes. Hurraaaaaaaay!!! we’re gonna get a new Ambassador!

    As for Shyne… i mean moses levi…. i mean ….. whatever u call him…. I feel sorry for him. I hope God really changes you and your family. GOD BLESS BELIZE!

  45. Belizean to the bone says:

    Shyne, I respect your success in the music industry and personally expected great things to happen (musically speaking) with your return. I said, finally someone will bring the world to Belize for music. Even went as far as thinking that perhaps you would set up a world-class studio/record company to promote artists in Belize.

    Belize got talent. I challenge you to take the bull by the horns and “help” push some of the talented local artists to international recognition. For example, we got Supa G, Ras Indio, Lloyd, Berne, Tanya Carter, Nello Player,Melonie Gillet, Instruments of Love, Franxel y Chami-Ka and so many other artists that are struggling and persistent in their dream.

    Its all about the right links, which you have, and promotion. You could build your own empire in Belize. Look at how many Jamaican artists come to Belize over and over. Help us open the path to success to these young artists. God will Bless you for that.

  46. Donny says:

    I LAUGH AT THOSE WHO THINK MUSICAL AMBASSADOR IS ACTUALLY A POST IN THE CIVIL SERVICE….HA HA HA. IT IS A CEREMONIAL TOKEN DESIGNATION WHICH IS GRATUITOUS, AS IN NON SALARIED. IT IS LIKE ENDORSING SOMETHING OR A CAUSE WITHOUT BEING PAID FOR IT. LIKE WHEN FAMOUS PEOPLE MAKE ADDS ABOUT HUMANITARIAN CAUSES. IT IS NOT LIKE SHYNE OR ANY MUSCAL AMBASSADOR OF BELIZE HAS A DIPLOMATIC PASSPORT. A DIPLOMAT IS REQUIRED TO REPRESENT HIS COUNTRY IN A SPECIFIC FOREIGN STATE. THAT MEANS THAT HIS CREDENTIALS HAVE TO BE PRESENTED TO THE FOREIGN STATE AND APPROVED BY THE FOREIGN GOVERNMENT OF HTE FOREIGN STATE WHERE THAT AMBASSADOR IS BASED. THIS SHOWS YOU THAT MUSICAL AMBASSADOR IS NOT A DIPLOMATIC POST IN ANY SENSE OF THE WORD “AMBASSADOR.” SURE IT WOULD BE A GOOD THING IF SHYNE OR WHAT EVER HE IS CALLED MENTIONED BELIZE NOW AND THEN, BUT LETS FACE THE REALITY GUYS ITS A TOKEN POSITION MEANT TO INSTILL PRESTIGE IN THE HOLDER OF THE DESIGNATION. WHY HAS THIS STORY EVEN MADE THE NEWS WHEN THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE IN BELIZE ‘WEH HUNGRY’ AND CYANT PAY DEH BILLS, SEND DEM KIDS 2 SKOOL OR AFFORD FI GO DA DACTA.” WHY SHOULD YOU OR ME BE SO CONCERNED ABOUT SOMETHING THAT HAS NO EFFECT WHAT SO EVER WHETHER ACTUAL OR INCIDENTAL ON MY EVERYDAY EXISTENCE.

  47. brightman says:

    Precisely!! Belize is bestowing honor and prestige upon an UNDESERVING person who DOES NOT CARE about Belize. Moreover, his music, if you can call it that, represents one segment of society–there are far more accomplished and learned Belizean musicians who could easily do a far better job with that designation. In any event, his criminal record should suffice in disqualifying him from carrying that ‘token’ title. daveyt said it best: he is using Judaism to appeal to American Zionists to gain re-entry to the US. If Hammas fail to get to him, I hope the Americans do allow him in–best he be there than here! Shame on the PM for this blatant example of nepotism–especially for a son who is nothing but an embarrasment to this country!

  48. Tracy J says:

    I just came across this story of Moses Levi{Shyne} and it sad to see that people from Blelize would not suport him .This bad mouthing him is just what the the record company that know they have done wrong by him. and dont want him in America out of sight out of mind. The young man was and still is a force to dill with, he has skills and kwnoledge of deep history. The poeple saying all the nastty things don”t have a clue of the money that the people in the US making off of Shyne back then and now they have made on him money that is to come to him just for came back on the seen.Prince had to change his name to take back control of his life . This is much bigger then what you Bolg s Know about I would Like for you Blog to have to take on PD-‘Money take care of verything.’ 50 cent’ shut up’ !!!!!!. look Blogs you are mad at the wrong person. Im glad that Moses Levi. looked to history{ Shyne} the name change gives stops to the past from taken any more from him.when time comes the people that help Shyne get to point when he had his bad bays. they too will run up on people with long money and clout . know one can get to big…. .People with long money love small people that cant think for themselfs like the Willie Lynch 1712 MANY WAY TO KEEP CONTRAL OVER ONES LIFE .Help bring Moses Levi up dont help the ex… music producer control him with your help. It could of been your child that all this lime light came to would you turn on yours child would your neighbor turn on them? I pray for you Blogs and for Moses Levi.

  49. J says:

    Theres alot of things going on in the music industry that people do not know and even if you explain they wont understand. Im so happy that Tracy is up to date with the right info and tool to undedrstand what the world is up against. The rest of you guys need to educate yourselves. This is bigger than record labels and music. Why are we so fast to label and judge? Why cant we say, well its better he does what hes doing now than shooting up clubs and being bad? I guess being a bad person is better than searching for god. Mr. Levi I applaud you and I pray for you that you continue your quest. If your an embarrassment to your country for changing your life in a positive way then your country is an embarrassment to you for making such claims. I guess they would rather you go back to jail then they would get more props. You are still loved by many for your past success and for your current endevors. I love the new you!!!
