Al B. Sure Book Deal Canceled

Three months ago R&B singer Al B. Sure went on a media blitz touting his upcoming memoir, "Do You Believe Me Now?," where he implied he was ready to tell all about about his experiences with Bad Boy Entertainment CEO, Sean 'Diddy' Combs, who he has accused of causing him to fall into a three month coma and being responsible for Kim Porter's passing [click here if you missed that].

Now the book has been pulled...

There’s a battle over Diddy between Al B. Sure! and Simon & Schuster.

The publisher had promised that the singer — who was once married to Diddy’s late ex, Kim Porter — would reveal dirt on the rapper in a new book, including a claim that he had something to do with Sure! falling into a coma in 2022.

But after announcing the memoir, “Do You Believe Me Now?” in May, ahead of Diddy’s’ trial, Simon & Schuster has pulled it from its website, and we’re told the project is on ice.

The R&B crooner’s lawyer, Robert J. Hantman, told Page Six there’s been “creative differences” over Diddy between Sure! and the publisher.

“Simon & Schuster wanted him to include more stuff about P. Diddy, but he didn’t really want to go there,” Hantman said.

“He hopes to work it out with them,” he added.

The book is suddenly unavailable for pre-order on Amazon, which, along with Audible, posted a new release date of Dec. 31, 2050! The page for the audio edition of the book has also been removed from Amazon entirely.

Sure! and Diddy’s history dates back to 1990 at Uptown Records, where Sure! was the label’s biggest star and a young Combs was an intern. The “Secret Garden” singer was married to Porter, who became Diddy’s longtime on-and-off partner, and mother to three of the Bad Boy Records founder’s children.

She and Sure! had son, Quincy Brown, whom Diddy adopted.
