Can someone repost the letter his son wrote?

A Letter To My Father

I’ve been inspired throughout my life by special circumstances and unique experiences. Foremost, I grew up with a family that injected me with unconditional love and enduring confidence. This is my foundation … the family holidays and celebrations with my maternal lineage … supportive smiles in audiences at school programs … guiding hands to complete homework and special projects in the wee hours of the morning. However, I grew up without my father, an irreplaceable force and influence that was absent in my life. I watched other kids enjoy the embrace of theirs, and I searched for a way to reconcile the meaning of my circumstance. Despite my pain, I’ve imagined a life as a good son with my father. Baseball … Playing in School Band … Church … All of the things that he would expect his son to do, I’ve done. I’ve stood in front of audiences to receive awards. I heard their applause and praise. But, the accolades have been absent the sound of his clapping hands and encouraging words … his voice that I could distinguish in my sleep. Where has he been? Now, I reflect on the journey, the pain, the challenges, and the triumphs through this song. I’m reconciled as a man, no longer a boy, in verse. Now, I know that I’m not alone. 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. To those who share my plight, know that you have a great future … a DESTINY. Take the lemons that you are handed and make lemonade. Your journey is in “A Letter To My Father.”

we live in a fucked up eveil world where peopel love 2 dismiss somebody else pain and tradegy by calling em crazy when its the other way around u gotta be a crazy ass mf 2 make fun of somebody else situation.whatever happened 2 compassion and love 4 one another?? we find ways 2 joke and bullshit about everything but this the same world that donated money 2 trayvon martin killer how fucked up u gotta be 2 donate money 2 a killer ???

Thanks, silver. Al should be ashamed for doing his kid like that.

Has he posted anything else? People always dissmiss this as crazy or mental breakdown. This could be bizness related. I'm sure something is going on. I don't follow his music, but I liked a couple of his early stuff. I know he was a music producer at one time and I think wrote all his stuff.

Here with his son. Spitting image too:

Two of his biggest hits:

I remember this. I think I saw it originally posted here. I wonder if Diddy is one of the "wealthy enemies" that Al is talking about in his letter?

Someone need to do something.I hope his real friends are intervening,or this could turn out to be a tragedy

Oh my. That letter was confusing as hell. So is he trying to say that someone is trying to kill him? I need more info.

Sometimes we forget that celebs and famous folk are just as

human, frail, stupid, awesome, sick as we "normal" people are.

missfee said:

That is the just of the letter. He is claiming that a group of associates are trying to kill or capture him, but he never tells why.

People are so quick to assume that he's going crazy. Its obvious that somebody is out to get him and he's dropping hints on who it is. Pay attention to the words in the letter that he puts emphasis on:

Even my enemies, specifically the Wealthy ones that can't help but be jealous of me

Ive come to find out that there are someone very jealous and “Bad” people out here that you all know, love & worship at times that are so jealous of me and doing some very Bad things to me like stalking my place of rest and even faking as if they are workers for major cable companies etc. we all are getting the hint by now.

If "Bad" equals Bad Boy, then that somebody is Diddy who is very Weathly

Since they seem to think that it’s a joke or that I am f**king joking we will find out who’s really from Mt. Vernon and not faking it.

Diddy's from Mt Vernon too

The best part of why God is so amazing is that I now know exactly who the idiot(s) are and the fake alias' all are and I wish them all God Speed. So FYI: If I (Al B. Sure! Aka Al Brown is found DEAD please contact my attorney Author Aaronson and he will have all of the information on everyone including their own closets emptied out and the main culprit "funding it" all.

The main culprit funding it all? Research Diddy's beef with DeathRow and 2pac.

Now that you put it like that, it sounds like Al was actually writing about his dealings with Puffy Bitch. In that sense, that beef has gone on for 20 years since Puffy got with Kim Porter. Damn, this letter is very interesting now! Thanks for breaking it down mane... it all makes sense now.

Wow this is some intense shit. Diddy always seems to be involved in some shady shit. Well whatever is going on I hope Al B. will be safe. This sounds so creepy to me.

Just reading tidbits about those 3 (Kim,Al, Sean) I have always had the feeling that Puff was instrumental in the wedge between Al and Al jr.

Something like, Puff has all the money and Al had little... so Al could never measure up in the $$ department... and belittled for it so that started the awkwardness and resentment on both sides.

I remember reading an interview of Al during his heydey. They asked if he was single and he revealed he had a "special" lady named Kim. I used to think she must have been a bad mama jamma for a hot celeb to own up to exclusive relationship and he was such a young (20s) and FINE AS HELL man.

Years later when I saw her...

Not at all what I imagined.

I definitely think that's what it is. Sean wanted his stepsons to have all the luxuries in the world but Al was more trying to be a father and eventually Al's sons chose Puffy over him.

Now I really want to know what he's actually talking about. He went that far, he may as well go the rest of the way.

about 15 years late on that "farewell letter" isn't he?

what's this all about?

Well, if he hasn't completely lost his ever lovin' mind, I'd say it sounds like he has some stalkers-turned-enemies that are threatening his livelihood and his life.

He's leaving this note as a "paper trail" in case something happens to him. If this is all true, then good on him for making it public. It's important to expose as much of the situation as one can if they are in danger from nutjobs.

As for his rabble babble about the bugging & stuff, I believe that too. You can buy all of that technical crap in electronic shops in Miami, plain as day. They even have a shop called " The Spy Store" where any Joe off the street can buy stuff you'd think only law enforcement would have access to.

What ever all this is really about, I hope he'll be able to have closure soon and keep himself out of harm's way. Been in situations watching just regular old people dealing with stalkers-turned-sociopaths before and it's not pretty. Add a little fame or notoriety into the mix and I imagine it must be hell.

Now I really want to know what he's actually talking about. He went that far, he may as well go the rest of the way.

But you know how it is when you're dealing with people of excessive financial, business, and social means. They have the clout and you have to be careful with what you say about them and how you handle yourself or you end up isolated with no support. In a case dealing with someone like Puffy it's even worse, because he's so commercially powerful- he has suits and moneymen, attorneys behind him---but then he's also kind of shady, so he's not above using street style intimidation (if he knows he can cover his tracks well)
