The arrest of Sean "Diddy" Combs has rocked the A-List stratosphere. Celebrities are doing everything they can to distance themselves from Diddy, which is pretty difficult.
Diddy had his hands in every industry beyond music: film, television, commerce, and even politics. In his heyday, an invitation to one of his annual White Party was a sign that you'd finally arrived in the world of A-List celebrities.
Now, artists like Usher are attempting to wash their Diddy connections away.
There is a small group of people that have been calling out Diddy for years; rapper Mase, Aubrey O'Day, and others have spoken out about Diddy's true nature, but they aren't the only ones.
Al B. Sure has had a lot to say about Diddy since the death of his ex-wife, Kim Porter. They were married in the 80s, and he even wrote Jodeci's "Forever My Lady" about her.
Kim was with Al right before Diddy, so how long was Kim Porter and Al B. Sure's relationship?
Al B. Sure was introduced to Kim Porter by Andre Harrell, and they got married a year after dating.
Al shared that he first met Kim at one of his shows in 1988. Andre Harrell introduced them, and they began dating shortly after. Al even helped Kim move from her home in Georgia up to New York City so she could begin her modeling career.
They got married in 1989 and had their only child together, Quincy Brown, in 1991. That was also the year their relationship fell apart.
Shortly after her divorce from all, Kim began her relationship with then-up-and-coming music producer Sean "Diddy" Combs.
Kim Porter and Al B. Sure were on friendly terms before her untimely death, and Al finds her death suspicious.
People are skeptical about Al's take on what happened to Kim due to the estranged relationship he has with his son. It has improved a bit since, but the idea of him being "a deadbeat dad" does not change the kind of relationship he and Kim had towards the end of her life.
In some revealing Instagram posts, Al goes into detail about their friendship and says her computer and cell phone were stolen, which contained notes on a memoir she was writing. But it isn't the one on Amazon right now.
Al B. Sure has been campaining for law enforcement to look into her death for years, and a new book has fueled that fire.
In the posts, he calls out the memoir allegedly written by Kim before her death, saying it's a PR stunt by Diddy's team to smear her image. "It is evident that her potential to expose the realities of her personal abuses," adding that they "posed a threat to those profiting from such heinous activities."
He implores law enforcement to find her computer and cell phone in order to clear both their names, as well as find potential evidence of Diddy's violence.
