Diddy is not playing around with his former artist and is sending his lawyers to lock him up, Media Take Out has learned.

Diddy sent out a cease and desist letter in connection with a new documentary about his former protégé, Shyne.

The source said Diddy is not trying to block the film’s release, but wants to “make sure” the facts are true after Shyne claimed he took the blame on Diddy in the infamous case 25 years ago.

Born Jamal Barrow, Shyne rose to fame in a Manhattan nightclub in 1999 with his pal and boss Diddy and then-friend of Bad Boy Records founder Jennifer Lopez.

An argument broke out between Diddy and another man when he pulled out a gun, shots were fired and three bystanders were injured. Shyne and Diddy went to trial in 2001, but only Shyne was convicted of assault and reckless endangerment.

Shyne, who is now a politician in Belize, served eight years in prison.
