Sean Combs is ready to move on if the world will let him.

Earlier this month, a jury acquitted Combs on the bribery and gun possession charges he faced in connection with a 1999 shooting in a New York nightclub, ending an endlessly publicized criminal trial.

In his first on-camera interview since the verdict, Combs told MTV News' Sway Calloway that he's more interested in discussing his future plans than in rehashing that seven-week trial.

He did, however, reveal his feelings about his former protégé, rapper Jamal "Shyne" Barrow, who was convicted of assault, reckless endangerment and gun possession in connection with the 1999 shootings.

He also explained why he no longer wants to be called Puff Daddy — or even Puffy — and why he plans to take an extended hiatus from his career. Check it out.
