Al B. Sure! Hints That Diddy’s Ex Kim Porter Was Murdered

Al B. Sure! is weighing in on the Diddy scandal and much more. He claims his ex-girlfriend Kim Porter was murdered because she was going to expose the mogul criminal behavior.

As reported by XXL the R&B singer is speaking up and has every intention to be heard. On Monday, September 23 he took to social media to make some very interesting claims and hinted that Kim Porter’s passing should be reinvestigated. “For over a decade and a half, I’ve been posting about, and tagging random law enforcement agencies in hopes to protect loved ones, avoid deaths & tragedies that could have all been avoided,” his caption read. “Despite this, I have been ignored, ridiculed and medically silenced to cover up these crimes you’re all now aware of by a very aggressive #PR Team and costly campaign to silence and physically harm me from exposing.”

“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,” he continued. “In a nutshell, Kimberly was allegedly taken from us because she was set on course to accomplish what Mrs. Cassie Ventura did by ignited the Bon Fire which brings us here today with the avalanche that has brought Satin to their chambers.”

In a separate post he also said that the recent book about her Kim’s Last Words is unauthorized and is “fabricated bullsh*t”. Al B. Sure! dated Kim Porter in the 1980’s and had son together named Quincy. She went on to date Diddy off and on starting in the 1990’s all the way up to 2007. She had three children with Sean Combs: Christian, D’Lila and Jessie. She passed away suddenly in 2018; her autopsy showed she died of pneumonia. Her children say the rumors of her passing are false.

‘The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom’

After Link gets trapped in a mysterious rift called “The Still World,” Princess Zelda must venture into Hyrule, with the Tri Rod and her fairy companion Tri, to find and rescue him and save the kingdom.

In our gameplay, we found that Echoes of Wisdom is a throwback to older Zelda games, like A Link To The Past and Link’s Awakening, instead of the open-world design of newer games, such as Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom.

It features new mechanics to replica objects to help you throughout your journey — which have a slight learning-curve — but, ultimately make it fun and rewarding to use what you’ve learned to solve puzzles and battle enemies. And even though you play as Princess Zelda, this is very much a Legend of Zelda game through and through, and serves as a challenging and additive adventure through Hyrule.

Priced at $59.99 and available for purchase at Target and Best Buy, The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom is out now. In the meantime, watch the overview trailer for the game, below:
