al b sure and son

It is always sad when a father or mother doesn’t step up and take care of their children. Looks like Quincy and his estranged father Al B Sure have made amends. Hopefully this reunion is real and not some ridiculous publicity stunt:

Wussup World
How’s everyone?

Haven’t updated in a while. BUT NOW ITS TIME! LOL

Real brief, so lets get right to it…

In the past couple of days, a few blog/gossip sites have posted that my father and I are rebuilding our relationship. I’ve been getting emails, texts, twits, etc. regarding this situation. And YES! This is true. I will say that we are back on the right track and things are starting off well. Now that you’ve heard it from me, you know the deal.

Thanks again!

iQ

(p.s — I promise I will be updating more so yall know what’s going on with me and my life etc etc etc… )

Looks like Al B Sure must have gotten tired of all the scrutiny and probably felt obligated to come out and build a relationship with his son.

Good luck Quincy…

    I am glad that Quincey’s letters reached his dad. I can only hope that his dad is for real and wants to be with his son.

    ALL YOUNG BOYS NEED THEIR DADS IN THEIR LIVES!

  • mamamia

    It’s ridiculous how identical they look, wow! I hope the reunion is the real thing though.

  • Nigga Said

    Al B. Sure is taking this picture and sending it to Diddy like, “take that, take that”.

  • nobody cares

    1. who cares. it’s little dustball, fatherless kids all over america. get over it

    2. jesus they look dead on each other, he does not have one ounce of his mother’s genes in him…

  • Frog-a-licious

    Damn he is the splitting image of his dad. Good for them!

  • Ian P

    I wanna know the whole story on what happened I am not going to call that man no dead beat. Its clear that the mother is a groupie hoe. I just hate it when someone is quick to call someone a deadbeat. What are you supposed to do when your son is given the world by another man. I think anyone would be considered a dead beat next to the dollars that Puffy has. Seriously if anyones baby mama or daddy got with a wealthy person wouldnt your child support look like a joke? Wouldnt anything you did look like a joke I give Puffy no credit its easy to do things when you can easily afford it. Keep that in mind before you talk about somebody.

    @ tb (Obama needs to fix the healthcare system in this country):

    It’s one thing if you never knew your father, never saw your father while you were growing up and making that ridiculous statement you made about moving on with your life and not crying over spilled milk. It’s a whole other situation when your father was a very popular and successful R&B singer, writer and producer that the whole world knows and he won’t have any contact with you!! Matter of fact regardless of either situation it’s hard not having a father in your life period. Not everyone is able to just move on with their life from that. Many people need closure SO THEY CAN MOVE ON!! His pops is still alive, probably living in the same state as he is and he wanted to reach out to him. GOOD FOR QUINCY!!

    Yes this should have been a private matter but it looks like it took the publicity for Al B.to step up to the plate and talk to his son!! Now THAT is a shame, but I’m very happy for them nonetheless.

  • Sharie

    Twins?

  • Slide Like A Fresh Pair of Gators

    Boys need men in their lives – preferably their fathers…

    Statistics show that around 80% of criminals grew up without good father figures in their lives…

    LADIES (you single mothers out there) boys need good male role models in their lives so that they can be “properly” shown how to be a man and not grow up with a twisted (*dysfunctional) sense of manhood = having multiple girlfriends, putting their hands on women, getting involved in criminal activities, etc…

  • Mrs. Rance

    nobody cares

    1. who cares. it’s little dustball, fatherless kids all over america. get over it
    ***************************************

    Please don’t get over it. I pray that we turn this sad situation in the black family around. I’d kill to know why black men carelessly spread their seeds around the wombs of women they don’t even respect and then abandon their children to be raised by said women. It’s not ok.

    that’s really good, the lil homie look just like you! BE A FATHER TO YOUR CHILD!

    This is sad ..

  • Rrrrroe Ski Love-

    Anytime there’s discontent between close relatives (father/son- mother/daughter- sister/brother, it is best to reconcilliate things, because in the long run-family is the only thing that matters. To the guy who says he could care less about his father whether dead or alive, I see bitterness and animosity in your heart. If there is a desire to connect on either end, it should be welcomed with open arms. Everyone makes mistakes throughout life. Forgiveness leads to wholeness.

  • chaka1

    I am old enough the be Quincy’s mother, but he needs to call me when he turns 18. Too cute…

  • http://mockrockstar.ning.com Mock Rock Star

    When children don’t have both biological parents in their life it usually cause confusion for them. Many end up growing up with the unconscious feeling of being abandon and unlovable. If you all decide to have children than make sure you and your partner (preferably spouse) stay in a healthy relationship at all cause for the children sake.

    he looks just like his dad..

    i was sad to see him begging for his father’s

    attention and love…I hope it works out and

    al.b.sure, is not using him…

  • tg

    Wow = look at them. Splitting images of each other. I say – life is too short. Forgive and move on to a positive place. You can forgive a parent, just as you can forgive your children. Everyone makes mistakes or messes up, at least once, if not a thousand times.

  • Kigali-INTERdependent Black Woman)

    It is scary how much they resemble each other. Al B was the man back in the day.

    Anyway, I married a man that you would have to kill to separate from his children. I wish black females would marry and make babies with these kinds of men. And if these kind of men arent out there, they shouldnt have children, they should wait until this kind of man comes around.

  • http://bossip MoniSings

    Hope they keep it going with a relationship. Sounds like Al B. needed a wake-up call and he got it in the form of that letter. Personally, I’m glad the ordeal was publicized. Maybe it will reach the minds of other men who have become disconnected from their children’s lives.

    @Love None – I agree that many times there are two sides every story and THEN the truth. But in cases like this, that’s what the courts are for. No amount of family intervention, gossip and maligning about a father should keep him from his children, if he fights to be a part of their lives. Stepping away from “the drama” as you put it ultimately means leaving a child (or children) behind, and every father out there who brought a life into this world is responsible for contributing to the care, nurturing and development of that life, whether it’s comfortable or not.

  • CAT EYES

    Whether people tried to mess up his and his son’s relationship or nor isn’t even the issue-a child should not have to write a letter begging a father to be in their life.A true man would NEVER allow anyone to stand in his way of being a father.

  • disappointed

    Oh Brother, this is so ridiculous. First off, ABS is using that boy, ABS has a record coming out this month and that is all he cares about. If ABS cared about Quincy (for real) he would not take a pic and post it on the internet. The few times ABS has seen Q and I mean (few) ABS always takes a pic and posts it on the internet. Why does he not do this with his other boys? Because he knows Q is gonna be “big” and he wants a part of it. ABS needs to be relevant at any cost, so he would rather you call him a “Deadbeat” then nothing at all. ABS step up, spend some time with you son without making a publcity stunt out of it! That boy is being manipulated big time by his dad, Ooops, I mean Al. Q, remember this. Puffy raised you since you were 3 when Puffy was broke and he loved as you were his own. It is cool that you want a relationship with ABS but proceed with caution. Everyone in LA knows what a user and moocher AL B is. He is flat broke and prayin for a hit record and will do this at any cost, even if that means using his own son.

  • Carla

    Tb, wow you are very bitter but I also get a sense of hurt reading your message post. Even though you’re a young adult there hasn’t been closure and so you are still suffering from the after math due to the fact that dad wasn’t a positive influence in your life.

  • LBCER

    I’m glad they made up. Why would this be a publicity stunt? Which of them is dropping an album? Y’all stupid.

  • *Treasure*

    It is sad that Quincy’s affections toward his father are unrequited. Al B sure is being pretentious. This facade is to regain the public’s admiration. He received a lot of public scrutiny for his lack of participation in Quincy’s life. I am not surprised at Al B Sure’s actions. In order for Al B sure to make a profit from his new album he has to attract the fans.

    I hope Quincy does not suffer any more pain inflicted by his father. Sometimes it may be best to walk away from an unloving parent for your own peace of mind.

  • Taya

    I Agree with TB’s sentiments. If a father chooses the easy way out and that is to leave his child, That means that he is a parent who does not love his child. He is an abusive parent. Abuse is not just physical, emotional abuse is just as damaging. It is foolish to allow a parent who didn’t care enough to stick around back in to your life. A man who can do this to his own child is not a person who is capable of love. He has a black heart. People with no heart are terrible human beings. They destroy everything that comes into their path. Why give a heartless parent a chance to make a mess of your life as an adult. He didn’t take the time to instill anything in his children but anger and resentment. I would say good riddance to any parent who left his child or children regardless of the reasons why he bailed.

  • 2dimplzs

    @ Taya:

    I understand what you’re saying but I still feel it’s a personal decision and it depends on each individuals situation as to whether or not they reconcile. There is a lot of healing that has to take place for people to even get to that point so I know not everyone will be willing to have a relationship with a parent who was absent for most of their life. I’ve seen it done, I have a girlfriend whose mother was in and out of her life for many years and then finally just disappeared. My girlfriend is now 41 and when she was 39 she found her mother. Her mother was sick and she took care of her until she died. Some kids love their parents unconditionally. Others feel out of sight out of mind if their parents were never in their lives to begin with. It all depends on the situation and what reason, if any, the parent has for not being there.

    @tb (Obama needs to fix the healthcare system in this country – Universal Healthcare!):

    I think you have it all very, very TWISTED! You are definitely the one that is f*cked up in the head. You sound very bitter, very angry, and full of issues that you still haven’t resolved within yourself with not having a father in your life! Trust, I don’t need to come on a gossip blog and LIE about my life and who raised me.

    You don’t like what you’re hearing and you don’t agree with what I say and that’s fine. You’re not a person who can forgive and let go and that’s fine too, but there are others out there who can and they shouldn’t be knocked for that. When you learn how to forgive and empathize with someone else’s unfortunate situation that’s a sign of maturity and love for your fellow man. No I did not experience having a one parent household but I have a lot of friends and relatives who have and have seen first hand how it affects them. Some become very bitter, like yourself, and others still yearn to know their absent parent or at least know WHY they left them. Good luck on dealing with your anger issues. You definitely need it.

    NOT, there were all types of internet pics with him, his dad and his other brother(Al’s son) long before his letter. Poor thang, that’s why the public should stay outta other people’s family matters.
