Al B. Sure!, the ex-husband of the late Kim Porter, has claimed that she was murdered in 2018 and is urging for a new investigation into the circumstances surrounding her death.
Porter, a model and actress who shared three children with Sean “Diddy” Combs, passed away in November 2018 after reportedly experiencing flu-like symptoms.
Two months later, the coroner concluded that her death was caused by lobar pneumonia. Porter, 47, was found in her bed by her goddaughter, just hours after enjoying a family movie night. Authorities determined that her death was from natural causes, and foul play was ruled out.
However, following recent allegations against Diddy, Al B. Sure! —whose real name is Albert Brown and who shares a child with Porter—has called for a federal investigation, implying Diddy may have been involved in her death.
These claims come after Diddy’s arrest on September 16, 2024, in New York, where he was charged with racketeering and sex trafficking. Diddy, 54, has pleaded not guilty to the charges.
In a lengthy Instagram post, Brown alleged that Porter was murdered, claiming that the two had frequent intimate conversations, and she had made “selfless attempts” to protect him from Diddy. He believes that Porter’s knowledge of Diddy’s alleged criminal activities, particularly sex trafficking, led to her death.
Brown also suggested that anyone involved in the creation of Porter’s memoir, KIM’S LOST WORDS: A Journey for Justice, From the Other Side, should be investigated, as he believes they conspired to prevent its release.
In response, Kim Porter’s four children—Quincy Brown, Christian, Jessie, and D’Lila Combs—released a statement on Wednesday, denouncing the claims of a memoir as false.
They stated, “She did not, and anyone claiming to have a manuscript is misrepresenting themselves.”
The children also reaffirmed that their mother’s cause of death had been fully established, with “no foul play” involved. They called for peace as they continue to grieve her loss, urging people to remember their mother for the “beautiful, strong, kind, and loving woman she was,” rather than entertain conspiracy theories.
