Diddy’s Stepson Sends Letter To Dad Al B Sure
Say what you want to about Diddy, but you have to admit he’s a good father to his kids. Stepson Quincy Combs who is the biological son of 80’s singer Al B Sure has always been extremely close to Diddy. Diddy event went all out on Quincy’s 16th birthday party (which Al did not attend) and gave him a 1964 Lincoln Continental, inside remade.
Quincy recently wrote a letter to his biological father that you must read:
A Letter To My Father
I’ve been inspired throughout my life by special circumstances and unique experiences. Foremost, I grew up with a family that injected me with unconditional love and enduring confidence. This is my foundation … the family holidays and celebrations with my maternal lineage … supportive smiles in audiences at school programs … guiding hands to complete homework and special projects in the wee hours of the morning.
However, I grew up without my father, an irreplaceable force and influence that was absent in my life. I watched other kids enjoy the embrace of theirs, and I searched for a way to reconcile the meaning of my circumstance. Despite my pain, I’ve imagined a life as a good son with my father. Baseball … Playing in School Band … Church … All of the things that he would expect his son to do, I’ve done. I’ve stood in front of audiences to receive awards. I heard their applause and praise. But, the accolades have been absent the sound of his clapping hands and encouraging words … his voice that I could distinguish in my sleep. Where has he been?
Now, I reflect on the journey, the pain, the challenges, and the triumphs through this song. I’m reconciled as a man, no longer a boy, in verse. Now, I know that I’m not alone.
Albert Brown, also known as “Al B Sure!” is my biological father, but Sean Combs, also known as “Diddy” has been a father figure in my life for as long as I can remember. Sean Combs is the person whom I look up to and appreciate as a father. He is the one who help mold me into the person I am today and will always try to live up to his expectations. He has always been supportive of me and I will forever love and respect him. As far as my biological father goes, the “spitting image” is all I have taken from him. Throughout my life, I’ve always wondered about him; Where he was? What was he doing? and most importantly, Was he even thinking about me? The absence of my father has given me a better understanding of what type of man I am going to be. I am grateful for my mom’s love, support, guidance, and for her strength.
To those who share my plight, know that you have a great future … a DESTINY. Take the lemons that you are handed and make lemonade. Your journey is in “A Letter To My Father.”
To all those fathers out there, step up your game!!!

I cannot share in not having both parents around so I am appreciative of that, but my children are going through this right now and I commend Diddy for being a great father because that is exactly what he is to this young man maybe not biologically but he has done one hell of a job raising this young man I can see just from reading this letter on the internet wow If only all children had a father figure as he not because he has a fortune but because he laid down foundation for this young man I can truly see Diddy isn’t one of my favorite people but I have respect for him like no other job well done Diddy and for what ever Al B Sure was going through I don’t know the story so I can’t comment but a child need both parents its not about you when a child is born but you already know these things no one has to tell you this!

Thats a v ery nice letter he wrote. I wrote a letter to my father but he never responded. Q should always remember that even if his father decided he doesn’t want a relationship with him in the future he has to always remember he is very fortune. He has a family who loves him which is more that most. I haven’t talked to my father since I was 7. I reached but he never reached out. f**k it. I have a mother who loves me. a grandfather who guided me and respectable male role models.
islandgrl877
Q is an exceptional guy. Someone raised him well.

I grew up without my father and didnt get to meet him til I was 13 by then i had went through s**t in my life that couldnt be erased. I have learn to forgive he cause i didnt miss out he did on a great daughter, friend and loved 1
and if al b sure was a little lighter he’d probably be a splittin image of me or vice versa. crazy s**t huh. yeaa…
phineazzwine
I have to say I agree with “msneed2know.” I grew up without my Father in my life. I was 13 when I got the chance to hear his voice on the phone. I never really knew him but when I did talk to him I feel in love with my Father because I didn’t have a Dad. My grandfather was the closet person I had to a real Dad & I loved him dearly. I never hated my Father for not being there because back then we didn’t really know what was going on we had so many loving family members that showered us with love. I Love & miss my father very much even if he wasn’t around. But some people have a problem with dealing with their father’s not being in their lives. I have my issues sometimes but I pray for a loving heart everyday. So if this is Quincy way of expressing how he feels about his father then I say Quincy express yourself to the fullest. No one know your pain but you. I applaud you. It is a beautiful letter straight to the point and also honoring your father that has given you unconditional love all these many years. Be blessed.

I think a lot of folks are misunderstanding what Quincy was trying to get at. My interpretation is that why did someone else have to do your job? We all have our flaws but one thing I can say is that Diddy has shown equal amounts of love to ALL his children…..Justin, Christian, D’Lila, Jessie, Chance AND Quincy.
Not taking anything away from Al B., but if you weren’t prominent in Quincy’s life, were you at least in L’il B or Devin’s life? You can’t claim “your work” kept you busy either! Diddy had his hand in lots of S.H.I.T. and still found time to be there for HIS “son” Quincy. This letter is proof why Mother’s Day is more recognized than Father’s Day.
Sometimes strangers will treat you better than your own family!
Mr_actbad
i HAVE to respond to this article cause it hitz VERY close to home for me. i too grew up witout my father. life wuz hard in a single parent home wit 3 other siblings and sometimez, when thingz got extremely hard, i would even be upset that my father wazn’t there to guide me tha way that i needed him to. hearing so much negative “press” about “dead-beat” dadz, i usually didn’t even think about tha circ**stances behind his “absence”. i jus assumed that if he wanted to be around, he would be around. i wuz told by my mother, society, and tha media that my father wuzn’t in my life because he didn’t WANTto be and i accepted this as a universal fact. i’m now 28 yearz old with 4 kidz of my own and i’ve learned dat I WUZ LIED TO. i can’t speak about my father’z situation cause i don’t know exactly why he wazn’t around, BUT i CAN speak for myself: see, i haven’t seen two of my kidz in over a year now and i KNOW it iz of no fault of my own. i’m paying child support (although, even if i wazn’t, tha Attory General will tell u that child support and visitation are unrelated and u can’t deny one right because another right isn’t being respected. at least not LEGALLY, anyway.) and i have a visitation court order but my childrenz mother has been denying my access anyway. i’ve gone thru every resource available for fatherz (there aren’t many at all, look it up yourself. and tha onez dat are available are HIGHLY ineffective or very costly) and even looked into a private lawyer (which costs more than MOST criminal lawyers). i’m putting 1000% effort into doing whuteva i can to get bak into my kidz livez but i seem to be hitting major roadblockz at every turn. in my situation, my WORSE FEAR is dat i will not only be unsuccessfully re-united with my children, but dat in tha process they will also begin to judge ME for my absence. will they give me a chance to explain? will they still love me after being gone so long? will their mother teach them to hate me? if i’m unsuccessful in my fight, will they care enough to even come look for me to find out whut i have to say or whut happened? and if so, how can i make up for everything that i’ve missed? how can i heal a hurt that i didn’t cause (especially without turning tha blame bak on tha other parent whose “side” of tha story has probably been drilled in tha kidz head already). i would have never considered this “side” of the argument until i wuz ON this “side” and now that i AM, i’m more open to understanding and hearing whut my father has to say. but i don’t want my kidz to have to go though whut i’m going through before they finally get a chance, IT’Z JUS NOT FAIR. luckily, MY mother neva really spoke down on my father but i wazn’t so careful in choosing a mother for MY kidz so by now, i’m pretty sure dat they’ve heard that their father “ain’t shyt” and will continue to hear that until i’m finally able to speak to them for myself but by then, who knowz the damage that will have been done. in light of all this, i jus wanna make sure to tell folkz, JUDGE NOT. COMMUNICATE. REACH OUT. once u become an adult, do the adult thing and get tha facts for yourself. u might be surprised to learn that errthang didn’t go tha way u were “told” it went. u neva know when it might be YOU lookin for some understanding one day…

Just a ???? what about the dad that was’nt there but want’s to be there now, he still blame’s the mom for being ignorant when he found a good woman, but he’s always tried to reach out to his son, but wont get a response, what should a father do then?
big_peaches
It’s sad to see a young man that has a living father close and yet he still feels left alone. Sadly that’s the story a lot of us had to deal with; either we knew our fathers and he didn’t want to be bothered or mom was out runnin’ around and couldn’t tell us who daddy was. Thank God for caring step-daddies! I wonder if there’s in anomosity between Diddy & Al B Sure? It takes a strong (black) man to take care of someone else’s children and for that I applaud all the “Diddy’s ” out there! There is definitely a disconnect between Quincey and his dad. I really wish they work it out somehow. Blessed love to them all!!!!
msneed2know
Some of the comments on here are negative and ignorant. It really doesn’t matter if you had a step dad that has money or not. The s**t hurts when someone who contributed in bringing you here can’t even take the time to be a father or a mother but someone who has no blood ties to you can step in and raise you like their own when they don’t have to. I am blessed that I have a step mother who stepped up to the plate while my birth mother was to busy doing drugs. It makes you wonder. Why did you even take the time to bring me here if you weren’t going to be here for me? My birth mother died bout 6 months ago and I regret that I didn’t take the time to get to know her when she was trying to get to know me well after I was fully grown. Trying to hold a grudge. Now that’s something that I have to live with. Let him get it out. Damn. Some people have to talk about it or need complete closure before they can move on. He just got lucky and had someone rich there to pick up his sperm doners slack.
NoOtherChick
Boo, Hoo.. Poor kid! Im sure that he really knows the pain of not having a father around, like the other milions of kids- with no daddy. He has a rich step father, who has been there for him his whole life(his words not mine). In my opinion he was just trying to be Al B on blast for not being there when he was growing up, but whats with the pic though? I didnt have no daddy around when I was growing up, and theres no snap shots of us together ever!!

Why is everone pouring their heart out? These are recent pictures of them together. This dude is about to drop an album folks. I wonder whoes label he going to be on?

You are so blessed young man to have someone like Diddy who was willing to step up to the plate and love you unconditionally and helped to mold and shape you into a caring human being. His love, dedication and support has been a light in your life. You look happy inspite of your pain. God has richly blessed you in many ways. Remember to ask God to help you to forgive and move on. I know it isn’t easy but with God on your side you can’t lose. Let your experience be an instrument in your hands to help others who are going through the same things but don’t have the type of support that you’ve had. May God bless you in your endeavors and heaven smile upon you and your family.
