<p id=”par-1_50″>Kim Porter spent years with <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/tag/sean-diddy-combs/?swcfpc=1″>Sean “Diddy” Combs</a>. The couple’s on-and-off-again <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/tag/celebrity-relationships/?swcfpc=1″>relationship</a> brought them three children, and they remained friendly even after their final split. Porter’s first husband, singer Al B. Sure!, claimed that she still had some concerns about Combs. Al B. Sure! said Porter warned him about Combs.</p>

<p id=”par-2_33″>Porter and Al B. Sure! were briefly married and shared a son. After their divorce, she <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/kim-porters-relative-said-right-dated-sean-diddy-combs.html/”>began her relationship with Combs</a>. She reportedly warned her ex-husband to steer clear of her new boyfriend.</p>
<p id=”par-3_70″>“Kimberly said don’t get involved, you will get killed. Even to the point where I remember…,” he said in the documentary <em>Diddy: The Making of a Bad Boy</em> (via <a target=”_blank” href=”https://variety.com/2025/music/news/diddy-documentary-craziest-moments-domestic-violence-threats-1236272775/” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Variety</a>). “Nah I can’t go into that one. There’s legal proceedings going on right now. But yeah, I will share that at some point. But this is part of evidence and I have to refrain from this part of this segment.”</p>

<p id=”par-4_22″>All Al B. Sure! was willing to say was that he felt he needed to listen to Porter for his own safety.</p>
<p id=”par-5_28″>“Let’s just say, you gotta listen to Kimberly, because not only was she trying to save me, but she was putting her own life in danger,” he said.</p>
<p id=”par-6_13″>Since the documentary’s release, Combs’ legal team has pushed back against these claims.</p>
<p id=”par-7_70″>“This documentary recycles and perpetuates the same lies and conspiracy theories that have been slung against Mr. Combs for months,” his legal team said in a statement to <a target=”_blank” href=”https://www.eonline.com/news/1412188/al-b-sure-breaks-silence-on-relationship-with-ex-kim-porter-in-new-sean-diddy-combs-documentary” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>E! News</a>. “It is disappointing to see NBC and Peacock rolling in the same mud as unethical tabloid reporters. By providing a platform for proven liars and opportunists to make false criminal accusations, the documentary is irresponsible journalism of the worst kind.”</p>
<h2 class=”wp-block-heading” id=”h-her-children-have-denounced-the-rumors-about-her-death”>Her children have denounced the rumors about her death</h2>
<p id=”par-8_20″>Al B. Sure! also expressed doubt <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/diddy-kim-porters-death-i-hope-i-can-find-somebody-who-can-love-me-like-that-again.html/”>that Porter’s death</a> was of natural causes. In 2018, she died of lobar pneumonia. </p>
<p id=”par-9_34″>“This person is telling a story, this person’s writing a book, this person’s about to tell the truth,” he said. “Why is everybody dead? Oh, it’s a coincidence. Get the f*** out of here.” </p>
<p id=”par-10_15″>Porter’s children have previously pushed back against any speculation that their mother’s death was suspicious.</p>
<p id=”par-11_61″>“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,” Porter’s children wrote on Instagram. “There was no foul play. 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.”</p>

She didn’t think he would have <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/kim-porter-knew-sean-diddy-combs-leave-secret.html/”>allowed her to leave</a> if she’d broken up with him any other way.</p>
