Natania said she watched an altercation between Diddy, Shyne, and other men unfold at Club New York right before being struck by a bullet and witnessing a nearby man collapse from his bullet wounds.


The NYC insurance agent said she remembers the muzzle flashes from the guns that Diddy and Shyne opened fire with; she said, "I watched them both fire their guns." "I watched them...I got hit right here in my nose, in between my eyes, which means I'm facing directly at." She continues, "It always bugs me when people say how can you be sure?" Natasha explains to the podcast host, "The same way you're sure that I have on a green shirt, I'm certain that he shot me!" The mother and widow continued, "Now was he aiming at me? Was I the object of his fire? Absolutely not."...She emphasized, "Bullets don't have names, and they don't have predetermined destinations. Once they come out of the gun, they gonna go wherever they go...By the grace of God, I am here."

Although Combs gained a plethora of wealth, power, and popularity over the last thirty years, he appeared to be untouchable. However, Reuben told The Daily Beast that God spoke to her and reassured her that Combs' bad deeds would catch up with him. Reuben said she shared God's message with friends and family members who didn't believe her. Yet, Reuben advised when her daughter told her the authorities had arrested Diddy, she felt a great deal of relief; she said, "[Combs] was somebody with power, prestige, fame, money and all of that," she said. "It was the biblical David and Goliath story. I know my sling and my stone might be 25 years old, but…"


The entertainment mogul is housed in a special housing unit at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn. Combs was arrested for charges of racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking. According to CNN, the former Bad Boy Records executive was denied bond because he had reached out to witnesses and victims.
