Al B Sure is nothing but a sperm donor who leaves kids abandoned and other men to take care of them. Or worse the woman area alone. This is a big problem in this country. AL B Sure!! aint so sure of himself! He should hold his head in shame.

Sweet Tea you are right, Al B Sure will not change his feelings now to his son. Quincy needs to keep pushin and be a better man. I heard there was a fall out. Probably Al B putting his son on hold for his own record coming out. Quincy is now old enough to speak the truth and he probably wants people to respect that Diddy is the one who has been there for him and not just pop in and out of his life when he wants.

I kind of feel like there are two sides to this story. That letter seems posed to me, how does he know what went on between adults back then? Kim was trying to move up in the game & she may have pushed Al out the picture to get in with Diddy. Diddy himself may have made it impossible for Al to see his son. There’s no telling what happened.
I don’t feel bad for Quincy, he has the best of everything from Diddy & his Mom (who is a PROfessional baby mama I might add). So he’s lacking ONE thing, there are people in the world that don’t have a lot more & no step daddy who is richer than Jesus to step in. My advice to him (from personal experience): move on. If Al B. didn’t want you then, nothing will change that now. If he was wrong, he will let you know but you can’t keep picking open old wounds. If Quincy is truly a new “man” he’ll put his super fine chin up & keep it pushin.

Quincy,
I can’t imagine what it must be like to grow up in the public eye. Growing up period is hard for anyone, let alone someone who is constantly being “looked at”. As a mother of a 14 year old son, I understand that teenagers have a lot of frustrations and issues with parents. Your feelings and emotions are real, however, they seem to come from a place of certain influence and confusion. You see sweetheart, I have learned in life that the best way to get someone’s attention is not to attack them, but to approach them in a way that they will listen. You are right, time is very important and can never be replaced, however, you can’t go back in the past but you can certainly move forward. You are obviously extremely smart, talented, handsome and blessed and right now, you have the whole world in your hands. The opportunities in life that God has blessed you with most people would kill to have. Heck, if you really think about it, there are some kids right now who live in Africa, and both parents are infected with AIDS and going to die at any given moment. Or, they don’t have a home, or clothes or even water to drink. When you start looking at these things, it makes you feel a little better about your own journey.
Listen honey, I don’t want to seem preachy nor do I want you to feel like I am taking away from your own right to feel validated. We all need that respect, but the most important thing is that whoever is supporting you and loving you, should do just that. Give you a positive, loving home and environment that encourages things like FORGIVENESS. I am 1000% percent sure that your mom has done everything she can to give you the best life in the world!! No one, and I mean no one loves you like a mom!! But I am speaking of the millions of people out there who may not REALLY know you and your family besides the illusions that the machine of the media creates!! Being upset with your Biological father is real and I am sure he hears you loud and clear, however, comparing him to what YOU FEEL someone else has done for you IN PUBLIC is not the proper approach. In fact, now that I think about it, Diddy is a very busy man and I doubt very seriously if he spent a whole lot of quality time with you as well. He has to work numerous hours to maintain the business he built. Any man does!! That doesn’t take away from a man needing to be a father, I agree with you totally on that, however, balance is the key to life we ALL FIGHT TO LEARN. Negativity doesn’t do anything but cause grief. Really, trust me on this one. It eats at you and it makes is really hard to sleep at night! You obviously need to talk and express yourself and you have the right to do so, however, my mom always taught me “it’s not what you say, but how you say it”. Majority of the public are followers, but not you, your a leader!! I am reading what people have been saying and none of these people even know you!!! Thank God you have a family that loves you and supports you. My son’s father and I were never married and always in two separate households and that’s always hard on any child. Having money and being famous does not exclude you. In fact, it makes it that much harder because you think the whole world has their twisted opinions. Know one and I mean know one has the right to judge! So I leave you with this thought, please consider the encouragement to move forward and forgive. If you can come to a place where you can let go and try, you will feel so much better. This is going to take some time, but it’s worth trying. The black community has to get back to the basics, learn to love ourselves, children and others. Every decision we make affects everybody around us and we need to be better at embracing who we are fully! We can’t change who our parents are, but we can make the choice to deal with each other in a healthy way. You mentioned Barak Obama in your song, he didn’t really know his father and everyone knows that, however, since you seem to look up to him, realize that he has NEVER put his father down. One of the main reasons I believe he won the election, is because of how he handled the attacks that his opponents used to take him down very well. With class and grace. He came out on TOP!! The first black president in History!! I see the same bright future for you, at your age, life hasn’t even begun!! Keep your head up baby, and stay true to the depths of your heart!! I wish you and your family the absolute best!!
