Even though Quincy Brown (Kim Porter&#8217;s son with Al. B. Sure!) isn&#8217;t quite Diddy&#8217;s stepson, he considers Diddy to be his daddy.
Quincy used his Global Grind blog the other day to go hard on Al B. and to thank Diddy for being a father figure.

<p><strong>Contributor:</strong> Carrie Blackshaw</p>
<p>Even though <strong>Quincy</strong> <strong>Brown </strong>(<a href="http://blogs.bet.com/entertainment/spotlight/kim-speaks-out-bout-diddy/"><strong>Kim Porter&#8217;s</strong> son </a>with <strong>Al. B. Sure</strong>!) isn&#8217;t quite Diddy&#8217;s stepson, he considers <strong>Diddy</strong> to be his daddy.</p>
<p>Quincy used his <a href="http://globalgrind.com/content/587030/A-Letter-To-My-Father-Al-B-Sure/">Global Grind blog the other day </a>to go hard on Al B. and to thank Diddy for being a father figure.</p>
<p>&#8220;I grew up without my father, an irreplaceable force and influence that was absent in my life. I watched other kids enjoy the embrace of theirs, and I searched for a way to reconcile the meaning of my circumstance. Despite my pain, I&#8217;ve imagined a life as a good son with my father &#8230; But, the accolades have been absent the sound of his clapping hands and encouraging words &#8230; his voice that I could distinguish in my sleep. Where has he been?&#8221;</p>
<p>Yo, that&#8217;s deep. He also included a song as part of the letter.</p>
<p>&#8220;Now, I reflect on the journey, the pain, the challenges, and the triumphs through this song. I&#8217;m reconciled as a man, no longer a boy, in verse. Now, I know that I&#8217;m not alone. Albert Brown, also known as &#8220;Al B Sure!&#8221; is my biological father, <a href="http://blogs.bet.com/entertainment/spotlight/props-to-diddys-other-baby-mama/">but Sean Combs, also known as &#8220;Diddy&#8221; </a>has been a father figure in my life for as long as I can remember. Sean Combs is the person whom I look up to and appreciate as a father. He is the one who help mold me into the person I am today and will always try to live up to his expectations. He has always been supportive of me and I will forever love and respect him. As far as my biological father goes, the &#8220;spitting image&#8221; is all I have taken from him.&#8221;</p>
<p>Talk about Nite and Day. Al. B.: your turn. What&#8217;s up with that, homie?</p>
