Honoring Kim Porter: Kids Reflect on Her Sixth Death Anniversary
On November 15, Quincy Brown posted a touching tribute on social media, sharing a caption that said, “Here’s a rare photo of me with my Mom and Dad. I miss you every day.” The accompanying image captures a young Quincy, likely under three years old, being lovingly embraced by his mother, Kim Porter, as he sits in a Little Tikes car. Notably, Al B. Sure! was absent from the post, raising eyebrows among fans.
This tribute holds special significance as it coincides with the sixth anniversary of Kim Porter’s passing. She tragically left this world on November 15, 2018, due to complications from lobar pneumonia. In addition to Quincy, she leaves behind her son Christian and twin daughters D’Lila and Jessie, whom she shared with Diddy. The twins also took to social media to honor their mother, expressing, “We think about you every single second of the day,” in their heartfelt Instagram message.
Quincy’s emotional post elicited a flurry of reactions, with over 2,000 comments from his 4.2 million Instagram followers. Many fans expressed their thoughts on the absence of Al B. Sure! in the tribute.
“It’s me trying to slide the picture looking for your dad,” commented @brandiiii__, along with a laughing emoji. Others joined the conversation, with @iyyanaax2 saying, “Awe ok, I get it now. lol cause I’m like is the dad in the room with us or something???” This sparked a debate about the implications of Quincy’s post, with some questioning why he would not acknowledge his father in such a meaningful moment.
“Why shade your dad when sharing memories of your mom? Also, when she was alive we’ve never heard her speak ill of him. They seemed to still be cool,” remarked @phillyjawnbritt, adding to the intrigue surrounding Quincy’s relationship with both parents.
Another follower, @lilian_brown, suggested that “His dad started it! Sometimes the kids have to finish it!” while @lotus.flower.bomb added, “Shading him but backing the baby oil bandit is wild! Rip Kim.” In contrast, @sipwitchyna expressed positivity, saying, “I love the caption! Speak your truth. Your mother is with you every day Q. Such a beautiful photo,” showing support for Quincy’s emotional expression.
Al B. Sure! Responds to Quincy’s Cryptic Post
The perceived shade from Quincy comes on the heels of Al B. Sure! sharing a post about the complexities of fatherhood. Earlier in the week, Al posted, “Nothing breaks a dad more than seeing his love for his kids turned into a weapon against him.” In a noteworthy twist, he included the hashtag #FreQuincy in his Instagram Stories, suggesting deeper familial tensions.
His comments seem to resonate with Quincy’s ongoing support for Diddy, particularly amidst serious allegations involving racketeering and sex trafficking.

Al B. Sure! Shares Emotional Tribute and Clarifies His Stance
On the same day, November 15, Al B. Sure! paid tribute to Kim Porter by sharing a heartfelt post featuring photos of the two. In the comments, he addressed inquiries regarding his relationship with Quincy. One follower asked, “He unblocked you?” to which Al responded with a thought-provoking remark.
“The real question is he still following a man that abused his mother and he knows it very clearly. Think about that when you’re sitting at your desk at work on Monday trying to unravel this mystery in your mind,” Al B. Sure! replied, hinting at the complicated dynamics within their family.
Another follower commended Al for taking the “adult approach,” suggesting that Quincy might be “brainwashed” and that Al should “never stop trying” to mend their relationship.
“@nubiangoddessspinky What my son @Quincy knows very clearly is that I actually took that photo of he and his mother Kimberly in the parking lot of the Toys-R-Us. He liked the red car so much that he decided he was going to ride it right out of the store. I found that photo and gave it to Kim because she called me and told me all of our family photos had miraculously burned up in a house fire. One of the many facts that the whole world has no clue about,” Al elaborated, shedding light on past family events.
On Saturday, another user inquired if Al noticed Quincy’s implied shade. Al once again denied that it was shade and clarified that he was the one who captured the photo.
“@tania_sillah__1K it wasn’t shade, his father was the one taking the picture of him and Kimberly,” he responded, dismissing speculation and suggesting that people were overreacting to the situation. “That’s just everyone being thirsty for more perceived drama. It’s all for the internet. Wait for it.”
Just a couple of months ago, Quincy Brown opened up about his relationship with Al B. Sure! during an interview with Angela Yee on ‘Lip Service.’ He shared that they’re “cool now” but acknowledged that their father-son dynamic isn’t what it could be. “We’re homies, more than anything,” Quincy stated, reflecting on their current relationship status.
