And while the video is a bit odd… it’s great to see the pair indulging in their love of music together. When Quincy turned 16, his father (Diddy) threw him a large celebrity-studded party that was even featured on My Super Sweet 16 on MTV. Seven years later and it appears the pair have truly mended their relationship, enough to even make music together. “I will not engage in a private family matter with the public, but I will say that Quincy is the most wonderful, kind young man in the world, and whatever he and I are going through we are going to work it out and that’s all that counts.” 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. Sure told ESSENCE in 2009, in response to an open letter his son penned to him about being absent in his life. About a month ago, Quincy posted an open letter to his father on Russell Simmons’s accusing him of being an absentee father: Albert Brown, also known as Al B. “I’m a human being so of course hearing about any family member being disappointed with you is devastating, but what can you do? I’m a human being and my job is to fix it,” Al B.

The entire video is essentially Quincy singing to a crowd of excited young women, while his parents -yes, Kim Porter is in it too- sitting back and watching proudly. The video pans out to a little girl running toward a line of women, all waiting to see Quincy perform on stage. The world is ready, the universe is ready. “Quincy, you’re ready,” the R&B legend says to his son in the opening of the video.
