R&B singer Al B. Sure!, who is the biological father of Quincy, Sean Diddy Combs’ stepson, sparked controversy on Friday by suggesting a connection between the hip-hop artist and his mysterious coma in 2022. Speaking at the Equal Justice Now Awards in Los Angeles, the 55-year-old artist announced an upcoming project about his life and made an indirect reference to Combs, hinting at a deeper story behind his health crisis. Al B. Sure! hinted at revealing more details about his coma, leaving the audience intrigued.

“We’re going to be producing the Al B. Sure! life story,” the Grammy nominee told the crowd, as seen in a clip shared by TMZ. “So hold on to your britches, and you’ll really understand how I ended up in a coma. You’re really gonna need to call Homeland Security.” In the summer of 2022, Al B. collapsed and was rushed to the hospital, where he fell into a coma that lasted more than two months.

The cause of the incident has never been revealed. To those in the audience, Al B.’s mention of Homeland Security was seemingly a nod to federal agents raiding Diddy’s properties in Los Angeles and Miami on Monday. The Department of Homeland Security confirmed the raids were part of a sex trafficking investigation.

When asked about Combs after his speech at the awards, Al B. told TMZ, "The entire situation is unfortunate. I don’t speak about another man’s business,” Al B. added. “All I know is that I’m working on the life story. And the way I got to be in a coma, stay tuned.”

This came amidst federal agents raiding Diddy’s properties in Los Angeles and Miami earlier in the week as part of a sex trafficking and abuse investigation. When questioned about Combs after his speech, Al B. declined to comment on specific events but expressed relief that his son, Quincy, wasn’t involved in the recent controversies. Al B. emphasized that he doesn't get into others' affairs but disclosed that he's focused on sharing his own life story.

What is Quincy Brown's relationship with rapper Diddy?

Quincy Brown, the son of Al B. Sure! and the late Kim Porter, has long considered Sean Diddy Combs a father figure. Quincy was raised by Porter and Combs, and grew up immersed in the world of music and entertainment, often joining Combs on tour.

Additionally, Quincy was raised by Diddy as his own son after the passing of his mother, the late model and actress Kim Porter, with whom Diddy had an on-and-off relationship from 1994 to 2007.

Wishing for reconciliation

Amidst the turmoil surrounding the allegations and raids, Al B. Sure! publicly reached out to his son, Quincy Brown, urging him to return home. In an emotional Instagram post shared on Thursday, the 55-year-old singer expressed his love and concern, writing, "#LettertoMySon! Come Home. The [door] is wide open." Accompanied by a nostalgic photo featuring Brown, now 32, Al B. Sure! reassured his son of his safety and affectionately referred to himself as "Popz, Your Biological."

Quincy, the son of Al B. Sure! and the late Kim Porter, had a unique upbringing, spending time between New York and Georgia. He grew closer to Sean "Diddy" Combs, Porter's partner, over the years, especially during tours. Despite recent legal troubles for Combs, his lawyer defended him, calling the home raids a "witch hunt" and maintaining his innocence against sexual assault claims.
