Interest in Sean “Diddy” Combs’s relationship with his ex-girlfriend Kim Porter has resurfaced following a se*x trafficking case involving the music mogul, even though Porter passed away in 2018 at 47 years old.
Both Diddy and his children responded to a controversial memoir, claiming it falsely represents Porter. In a joint statement on Sept. 24, they condemned the book, claiming it perpetuates baseless conspiracy theories about her death, which they assert occurred naturally.
Since Diddy’s arrest on Sept. 16 on serious charges like racketeering and se*x trafficking, there has been increased attention, including calls to reexamine Porter’s passing. Al B. Sure!, father to Porter’s eldest son Quincy Brown, has been one of the most vocal figures advocating for this investigation.

Diddy’s lawyer, Erica Wolf, denounced the memoir as fraudulent, branding it a disrespectful effort to exploit a tragedy for profit. She reiterated that Porter’s death had been confirmed to be from natural causes, urging people to let her rest in peace.
Porter’s children issued their own statement, refuting the rumors that their mother had written a book. They expressed sadness over the renewed conspiracy theories and stressed the pain caused by the false speculation surrounding her death.
Al B. Sure!, Porter’s former partner, remains persistent in calling for an investigation, claiming Porter’s passing was not due to natural causes but was a “tragic murder.” He continues to press for a formal inquiry involving multiple law enforcement agencies, including the FBI and CIA.
