Diddy‘s sons are actively pursuing legal action against a man promoting a Kim Porter biography, which is reportedly derived from her personal diary. They have issued a stern warning for the individual to cease all activities related to the book or face impending legal consequences, highlighting their commitment to protecting their mother’s legacy and intellectual property rights.
Christian and Quincy Combs have sent a formal cease and desist letter to Courtney Burgess and his lawyer Ariel Mitchell, regarding their controversial book titled Kim Porter Tell It All (‘Tell It All’). This book is being sold online under the alias Jamal Millwood, raising significant concerns about its authenticity and the source of its content.
According to the cease and desist letter obtained by TMZ, the Combs brothers assert that they inherited Kim’s intellectual property rights upon her passing in November 2018. They emphasize that any diary entries or personal writings attributed to her rightfully belong to them, as her legal heirs and custodians of her estate.
In the letter, the Combs brothers highlight that Burgess has conducted numerous interviews promoting the book, asserting it contains an “original unedited” version of Kim’s diary or memoir. He claims to have received a flash drive from individuals close to Kim, which he alleges he used to create the book without any alterations, raising questions about the book’s legitimacy and ethical considerations surrounding its publication.
Quincy and Christian are directly challenging Burgess’s claims, declaring the narrative surrounding the flash drive to be “patently false” and misleading to the public. They assert that if the flash drive story were indeed accurate, it would legally belong to them as rightful heirs to Kim’s estate, further asserting their legal rights over her intellectual property.
Recent discussions with Burgess and Mitchell in New York City revealed that they have been in contact with federal prosecutors regarding the matter. Reports indicate that federal authorities have confiscated his phone, which supposedly contains data from the flash drive that was utilized to produce the book, raising further concerns about the authenticity and legality of the publication process.

Kim and Diddy’s sons are demanding immediate action from Burgess, giving him a strict timeline of five days to halt the online sale of the book, cease all promotional interviews, and return any of Kim’s belongings he claims to possess. Additionally, they are seeking a detailed accounting of any financial gains he has accrued from the book, underlining their determination to protect their mother’s legacy and property rights.
The underlying implication of their ultimatum is clear: should Burgess fail to comply, the Combs brothers are prepared to escalate the matter legally, potentially leading to a lawsuit as their next course of action to safeguard their rights.
