The late Kim Porter‘s four children, Quincy Brown, Christian Combs and twins Jessie and D’Lila Combs, have shared a statement following the release of a book on Amazon believed to have been written by the beloved matriarch.


Within the lengthy declaration, the children claim that their mother never wrote a book, asserting that the tome that is now an Amazon bestseller is full of lies. This is consistent with Porter’s ex and Quincy’s father, Al B. Sure!‘s, claim that the book was not based on Porter’s “original book notes” and contained salacious stories that never happened.

“Claims that our mom wrote a book are simply untrue. She did not. And anyone claiming to have a manuscript is misrepresenting themselves,” their statement said. “Please understand that any so-called ‘friend’ speaking on behalf of our mom or her family is not a friend, nor do they have her best interests at heart.”

The children disagree, however, with Al B. Sure’s call for further investigation into Porter’s death, as the singer implied Sean “Diddy” Combs and others acting on his authority may have played a part in her passing due to her alleged plans to expose the mogul.


“While it has been incredibly difficult to reconcile how she could be taken from us too soon, the cause of her death has long been established,” they wrote. “There was no foul play.”

The siblings continued, “We are deeply saddened that the world has made a spectacle of what has been the most tragic event of our lives. Our mother should be remembered for the beautiful, strong, kind and loving woman she was. Her memory should not be tainted by horrific conspiracy theories.” See their full statement below.


Porter’s official cause of death was determined as lobar pneumonia. In three lengthy Instagram posts shared Monday (Sept. 23), Al B. Sure! flagged several law enforcement agencies in calling for further investigation into her death, writing, “I am writing this post to formally request an investigation into an entire group of individuals who worked at or around the residence of Ms. Kimberly Porter…Kimberlina was taken from us way too soon and before she could complete her true thoughts…It is evident that her potential to expose the realities of her personal abuses, being drugged, the #SexTrafficking and #HumanTrafficking she was privy to, akin to the brave actions of Mrs. Cassie Ventura, posed a threat to those profiting from such heinous activities.”
