Quincy was born in New York City on June 4, 1991, to modelKim Porterand singer, songwriter and record producerAl B. Sure!. He was named after his godfather,Quincy Jones, who was Al B. Sure!’s mentor.
When Quincy was three, his mother began a relationship with Diddy, who eventually adopted Quincy. Diddy and Porter,who died in 2018, went on to have four more children together.
Speaking with PEOPLE in April 2023, Quincy shared how important it is tokeep his mother’s legacy alive. “I’m my mom’s son, so therefore there’s so much life for me to expand on off of her life. And that journey hasn’t even started yet, which is the best part about it. What my mom’s legacy is representative of is beyond words. That’s gonna really come to life soon.”
Today, Quincy is an actor, singer and model — and he credits much of his ambitious spirit to his father. He previously opened up to PEOPLE about how the hip-hop mogul’s never-ending hustleinspired him to pursue his own endeavors.
“I think I’ve been a sponge, and now I do so much,” Quincy told PEOPLE of his father. “I’m very much into the art of acting, and then there’s music. But just seeing how he’s able to handle and juggle all these things, I took that from him as my most major takeaway.”
Over the years, Quincy has proven himself a talented rapper, having dropped more than 10 singles, including “Friends First” withFrench Montanaand “Blue Dot.” In 2017, Quincy and Al B Sure! released “I Can Tell You,” a cover of the R&B legend’s 1988 song “Nite and Day”; that same year, Quincy issued his first solo project, an EP titledThis Is for You.
Taking after Diddy, Quincy also works in managing and developing fresh talent — starting with his twin sisters, D’Lila and Jessie, whom he featured in the music video for his 2022 song “Face Off.”
“We don’t need no contracts, no paper, but I’m my sisters' manager,” he told PEOPLE. “I’m like, the uncle-dad-manager-protector; I’m claiming it. I want to be able to really guide them. I want them to really know the layers of everything you can do.”

Christian — Diddy and Porter’s first biological child together — was born on April 1, 1998, soon after his mom and dad started dating.
“It’s reallyalways been something I wanted to do,” Christian told PEOPLE in September 2022. “There have been times when my dad questioned me and asked, ‘What’s your plan B? Are you sure you want to do this?’ and I’m like, ‘There is no plan B.’ "
When asked about the biggest lesson Christian has learned from his dad, he told PEOPLE: “I would say the biggest lesson is never stop. Can’t stop, won’t stop. That’s what it is.”
Christian’s hard work and determination to become a successful rapper paid off with the release of his smash hit song “Can’t Stop Won’t Stop” featuringKodak Black. The track marked a career high for Christian in November 2022, reaching No. 1 onBillboard’s Mainstream R&B Hip-Hop Airplay chart — the first chart-topper of his career.
