A new memoir is being prepared by R&B artist Al B. Sure!, whose son with late model Kim Porter was adopted by Sean “Diddy” Combs.
Do You Believe Me Now? The book will be released by Simon & Schuster on September 9.
Sure! whose real name is Albert Joseph Brown III, is set to delve into his life and career, as well as the medical crisis that left him in a coma in 2023, according to a press release.
According to reports, Sure! will also talk about his “shocking” connections to Combs, which date back to his time as an artist for Uptown Records, where Combs began his career as an intern.
Before she started dating Combs, he had previously famously dated Porter. Al B. Sure! And Kim Porter had a child together, Quincy Brown, whom Combs eventually adopted.
In Do You Believe Me Now?, he is allegedly going to write about Porter’s death in November 2018 from lobar pneumonia and his relationship with her.

He has collaborated with numerous famous artists over his career, such as David Bowie, Diana Ross, Jodeci, Quincy Jones, and Usher.
Al B. Sure! made an appearance in the recent Peacock documentary dubbed Diddy: The Making of a Bad Boy earlier this year.
However, following the release of the documentary, Sean Combs filed a $100 million defamation lawsuit, claiming it created an “unhinged narrative that Mr. Combs is a serial killer” and conspiracy theories.
According to the lawsuit, Diddy was directly defamed by remarks made by Sure! and lawyer Ariel Mitchell, who implied that Porter and other people close to Combs were killed by foul conduct.
“With absolutely no evidence or logic to stand on and in the face of clear evidence to the contrary,” Combs’ attorneys argued, the documentary promoted these assertions.
