Shyne’s career in Israel is starting to take off. The former Bad Boy rapper has been tapped to appear on the popular religious-oriented variety show, Tuesday Night Live.
The show, which is slated to debut on February, is filmed next door to the Great Synagogue of Jerusalem in Israel, where Shyne is attempting to establish permanent residency.
