Subpoena will force J Lo to tell all in court

She may not have testified in the criminal trial in 1999, but Jennifer Lopez has just been served with a subpoena to appear in court to tell all about a shooting involving Sean 'P. Diddy' Combs and the rapper Shyne.

The singer was at the now-closed Club New York with her then-boyfriend Combs in December 1999 when shots rang out and the pair fled the scene.

The car in which they were traveling was pulled over by police, who retrieved a stolen handgun from the vehicle. After the subsequent trial, Combs walked free while his associate Shyne went to prison.

Now Lopez will be asked to recount the night at deposition, after Natania Reuben filed a $130 million lawsuit against Combs and Shyne.

Reuben was the woman who was shot in the face during the shootout at the nightclub.

Lopez has been quiet on the music front of late, having given birth to twins in February of this year.
