Al B. Sure gained additional media attention in 2010 when he participated as one of twelve contestants on the reality dating series The Ultimate Merger. Produced by Donald Trump and starring Omarosa Manigault as the featured bachelorette, the series aired on TV One and challenged contestants to win her affection through a series of social and emotional tasks.
In an interview with the African American Literature Book Club, Al reflected on his choice to join the show, stating, “I've known Mr. Trump since he hosted my 21st birthday party on his yacht years ago. He's an amazing guy. And I've also known Omarosa for a few years. She's always been just a really sweet and kind person—very different from what viewers see on television.”
When asked about why he would compete for someone he already knew, Al explained, “It’s a concession to the new media landscape. Things we once did privately are now shared publicly, which makes for more compelling television. The show had a great cast of guys and a dynamic lead. It was a positive experience.”
Despite being a more famous figure than his fellow contestants, Al said he was surprised and pleased when they treated him as an equal. He noted that although he is more of an introvert, the group formed a sense of camaraderie. However, he admitted that living with eleven other men proved challenging due to his preference for solitude.
Al B. Sure has three sons, all of whom have shown interest in pursuing music careers. His eldest son, Albert Brown IV—known by his stage name Quincy—is a singer and actor. Another son, Devin, is involved in hip hop music production. All three children are from previous relationships, including one with model Kim Porter.
While his past relationships have occasionally drawn public interest, Al has remained largely private about his personal life. He never married, and the reasons behind his separation from Kim have not been publicly discussed.
As of recent estimates, Al B. Sure has a net worth of approximately $4 million, accumulated through decades of music production, performances, and media appearances. His contributions to the R&B and New Jack Swing genres continue to influence artists and fans alike.
