Death of Diddy’s Ex Comes Back to Haunt Him: ‘You Will Get Killed’
Sean “Diddy” Combs faces additional scrutiny about the 2018 death of his ex-girlfriend and mother of four his children, Kim Porter, in the new Peacock documentary special Diddy: The Making of a Bad Boy, set to premiere next Tuesday.
The special’s biggest revelations come courtesy of its exclusive interview with Al B. Sure—Kim Porter’s ex-husband pre-Diddy and the father of their son Quincy Brown (who Diddy adopted after he became involved with Porter). Al B. Sure, whose real name is Albert Joseph Brown III, sat for his first interview about Combs since the rapper’s sex-trafficking arrest—and he drops some bombshells about Porter’s last days, as first reported by The Daily Mail and can be confirmed by the Daily Beast.
In the doc, Brown shares his belief that Porter was, in his words, “murdered.” Kim Porter’s official cause of death was lobar pneumonia. Porter split with Combs in 2007, but the pair maintained a close co-parenting relationship up until her death, reports People. Brown alleges that Porter “was in complete fear of her life” with her former partner.
Brown also says Porter told him before she died, “‘[Combs’] soul has gone completely dark like he’s just not there.’”
“She made me promise on our son Quincy Brown’s life to never reveal [what she had told him]” he continues in the documentary. He also disputes that Diddy ever adopted his son, claiming that narrative was “crafted by publicists.” Brown claims Porter told him to keep his distance and go along with that narrative or, “‘You will get killed.’”
“Before her death, she was keeping a diary and things of that nature,” he adds. “Someone got the passcode to her phone and her computer and they found out she was writing what was going on behind closed doors. The public had no idea it was happening right in front of everybody’s eyes.”
In September, a book titled Kim’s Lost Words: A Journey for Justice, From the Other Side was self-published under the pseudonym Jamal T. Millwood by an L.A.-based producer named Todd Christopher Guzze, who claimed he’d assembled the book from a flash drive of Porter’s writings given to him by someone close to her. The book became a bestseller on Amazon before it was removed from the marketplace following her children’s public statement saying she had not written it.
“Claims that our mom wrote a book are simply untrue,” read the joint statement from Porter and Diddy’s children, Christian “King” Combs, twins D’Lila and Jessie, and Quincy Brown. “She did not, and anyone claiming to have a manuscript is misrepresenting themselves. Additionally, please understand that any so-called ‘friend’ speaking on behalf of our mom or her family is not a friend, nor do they have her best interests at heart.”
That has not stopped Brown from continuing his call for an investigation into Porter’s death, which the statement also addressed: “While it has been incredibly difficult to reconcile how she could be taken from us too soon, the cause of her death has long been established. There was no foul play.”
But Brown has not wavered in his belief.
In a now deleted post from 2020, he wrote, “I do know very clearly that #Kimberly didn’t just check out all of a sudden over [pneumonia]. That’s some bull s--t,” according to Vibe. He added back then, “We just celebrated our son @Quincy’s new deal and Christmas special with @Netflix, and she was in fantastic health as well laughing seeing me and @Diddy’s mutual exchange at the theater.” He didn’t say more, concluding his post with, “I’m going to leave it here.”
In Making of a Bad Boy, Brown explains exactly what he was alluding to. “Kimberly is gone because she was going to be Cassie Ventura,” he says in the doc, referring to Ventura’s bombshell lawsuit against the disgraced mogul, alleging controlling and abusive behavior spanning years. Diddy settled that suit in just 24 hours and denied her claims, but her account was publicly validated when CNN publicized the infamous hotel video last year, in which Diddy can be seen hitting and kicking her as she lies helplessly on the floor.
Brown restates in the doc that Porter’s official cause of death didn’t sit right with him. “She was looking healthy, she was looking amazing,” he says of Porter before she died, adding that he’d seen her “just weeks prior.” He also alludes to other claims he says he will address at a later date, related to his mysterious hospitalization and coma with multi-system organ failure in 2022.
“I kept a record of every single one of you that was sent to set me up,” Brown tells the camera. But he also insists only agreed to sit down for Making of a Bad Boy to honor Porter’s memory and tell “the truth.”
The 90-minute-documentary covers Diddy’s childhood and early career through the eyes of friends and associates before diving into several of the allegations the rapper faces as he awaits his May trial after his indictment on three federal counts, including sex trafficking. Diddy faces several accusations in addition to that criminal case, including multiple lawsuits from over 30 accusers, according to the doc, which covers most of those accusations in broad strokes.
Diddy’s legal team told People in response to Making of a Bad Boy’s claims about Porter and other alleged victims, “These documentaries include unchecked claims and provide platforms for baseless conspiracy theories without accountability or evidence. In the case of the Peacock documentary in particular, the motivations and credibility of those being interviewed must be questioned.”
“Many claim to have knowledge but lack any connection to the truth, while their wild, unfounded theories are cut and sensationalized to appear factual. Sean Combs unequivocally denies these false allegations, which are harmful, defamatory, and unsupported by credible evidence,” the statement continued. “It is deeply concerning how such narratives can influence public perception and prejudice the legal process. Mr. Combs deserves his day in court with an impartial jury, free from the taint of these baseless claims. The facts will be addressed in court, where truth—not fiction—will prevail.”
