Quincy Says

Kim Porter's son with Al B Sure posted an open letter to his father on Global Grind and here's an excerpt:

'Albert Brown, also known as “Al B Sure!” is my biological father, but Sean Combs, also known as “Diddy” 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 “spitting image” is all I have taken from him. Throughout my life, I’ve always wondered about him; Where he was? What was he doing? and most importantly, Was he even thinking about me? The absence of my father has given me a better understanding of what type of man I am going to be. I am grateful for my mom’s love, support, guidance, and for her strength.'

A.I.'s Bodyguards Claim Another Victim

Not even a month after a judge ruled that Detroit Piston Allen Iverson has to pay $260,000 to a D.C. area man after he recieved a beating at the hands of A.I.'s bodyguards, another dude is claiming to have gotten a beat down from Allen's goon squad. From WDIV in Detroit:

An Ohio man is claiming Detroit Piston Allen Iverson’s bodyguard attacked him Saturday night while attending a birthday party in Detroit. Guy Walker told Local 4 he was at the South Beach Pizza Bar when Allen Iverson showed up. "Everyone was excited because we were among superstars," Walker said. He added that he's followed Iverson's career for years. Walker said he joined a group of people in the restaurant who were trying to talk and get autographs from Iverson. "I was like, 'AI, what's going on?' And he was ignoring me," Walker said. "So I was like whatever and went back to my spot. "Walker said Iverson's bodyguard started to give him a hard time and words were exchanged. As he turned to walk away, Walker said the bodyguard hit him. "We were just jaw-jacking back at each other. And just as I was about to turn, I just felt this pain in my eye," Walker said. "I didn't touch him, I didn't raise my hand or act like I was going to touch him. "Walker was taken to Henry Ford Hospital where he received nine stitches.

Bow Wow Shut Down

Sometime last week quotes from Bow Wow's recent interview from Giant Magazine began showing up online implying that Angela Simmons was the 'one who got away' and sounding an awful lot like Bow Wow regrets the two are no-longer a couple. Bow Wow told Giant, “Angela Simmons is the love of my life. She’s a young black woman doing something incredible. She’s a CEO of a company at 21 years old and a positive role model for kids.”

Last night on Global Grind Angela addressed Bow Wow's love declarations with a dismissive shrug stating, "i jus want to shut down any and all rumors about my relationships because you know how that can get. i am currently in the happiest relationship i have eva been in and MY other half lives in texas. so thats all i will say about that. Any person i have talked to in the past i wish them the best of luck :)."
