Chapter 2: Who is Tim Patterson and what is his connection to Diddy?
This was 1972, so that would make me five years old. So anyway, my parents and Sean's mom, they're walking around, and I'm kind of just hanging out, checking out the outside and stuff. And Sean's mom, she recognizes that and says, well, hold on, let me go get Sean. And I had no idea there was a kid involved. She said, let me go get Sean.
And she went upstairs and this kid comes downstairs and he looked like little Rodney Allen Ripley. I mean, he looked like royalty. He was just a real different looking kid. He stuck out. He didn't have no nappy hair. He didn't have no messed up clothes on. You know, he was really something special. You could tell this guy wasn't a normal kid. At least I could tell.
How old would you think Diddy was at that point?
If I was five or six, he was either three or four. Yeah.
So there's also this picture that you gave to us of you and Sean. For our listeners who can't see it, I'm going to describe it. It's, I believe, you two in front of your homes and you're wearing bell bottoms and doing a cute little pose. And Sean has his little hat on and also bell bottoms. Can you tell me a little bit more about about this picture and what it means to you.
Okay, so that picture there says a lot. And I really want to put context into a lot of the things that are being said now. You know, you got to kind of get to know a person's beginnings. You kind of got to get to know their firsts before you can really put a guilty sign on. You have to kind of know where they came from. And that's what I really want to specify and go into detail about.
And at the same time, I do not want to condone and I don't condone any of the things that he's been accused of. But Sean is special to me. We were big brother, little brother type of moves. And There's no way I can sit back and allow this to happen without giving context to his life and to his story. Sean was born a really good kid, really good kid, gifted kid.
When you talk about having everything he needed, he was just ahead of his time from day one. Going back to your question, that picture, that picture was random picture, random day. My dad was really into taking pictures. So he would catch us at any time of the day and say, hey, pose like this, pose like that. That's my dad posing us. And we stand there, he took the picture.
And if you notice in the picture, there's a big difference in our clothing. There's a big difference in, you know, our getup. Sean's wearing jewelry. He's got on white shoes. What is he like? Could be five, six years old in that picture, if that. He's got on dark socks. He's got on a bucket hat already.
