In a recent interview with The Art of Dialogue, author Chris Todd, the man behind the explosive book “Kim’s Lost Words: A Journey for Justice,” shared some candid insights into the reasons behind his controversial choices and the shocking allegations within the memoir. Todd, who used the pseudonym Jamal T. Milwood for the book, claimed that there was a deeper reasoning behind the name and touched on the significance of his decision.

Todd made it clear from the jump—this book was more than just a memoir. “I was asked to use that name,” he said, referring to Jamal T. Milwood, a nod to Tupac’s Makaveli persona. The author admitted that there were a lot of moving parts behind the scenes, with multiple people contributing to the project. He emphasized that using a predominantly African American name was a spiritual and strategic move, symbolizing a bigger message in honor of both Tupac and Kim Porter.

One of the first questions posed to Todd was why he chose not to use his real name. Todd explained, “I was torn between using my own name, Chris Todd, or adopting the name Jamal T. Milwood. The T stands for Tupac, and the name is a subtle tribute to the rapper’s influence. More importantly, it was a collaborative effort, and in a sense, a leap of faith.”

But controversy arose when people realized Jamal T. Milwood wasn’t directly connected to Tupac. Many questioned the use of the name, feeling it was misleading—especially since the name hinted at African American roots and tied into hip-hop culture. Todd addressed the criticism head-on. “There are African Americans behind this book,” he affirmed, although he admitted that the name wasn’t reflective of a single person. It was more about what it represented. “To me, this is a collaborative effort.”

As the interview continued, Todd was challenged about the optics of using the name Jamal T. Milwood, with some in the African American community accusing him of clout-chasing. “Optically, it might look that way,” Todd admitted. He acknowledged that he understood why people would feel misled, but stood by his decision. “It’s all about changing paradigms,” he explained.

Todd also opened up about the risks involved with releasing the memoir. When the book was first being developed, Sean “Diddy” Combs had not been arrested. Despite this, Todd moved forward, feeling spiritually compelled to share the story, even though it meant taking significant risks, including making some heavy accusations.

The interview took a deep dive into some of the more explosive allegations in the book, particularly around Diddy’s alleged abuse toward Kim Porter. One of the most jaw-dropping claims from the memoir is that Diddy was physically abusive to Kim, even breaking her nose on a yacht. Todd confirmed that this accusation came from Kim’s own words. “Kim said it herself, not me,” he stressed, explaining that this was one of the many incidents that required extensive research to verify.

Todd also addressed the claims of a flash drive containing videos and metadata tied to Kim’s allegations. He admitted that while he hasn’t publicly released the contents of the flash drive, multiple people have seen it. “There are sex tapes on the flash drive,” he revealed, further stating that he’s currently dealing with threats from others who are considering leaking those tapes.

Despite these revelations, people close to Kim Porter, including her close friend Leanda Delane, have spoken out against the memoir, calling it full of lies. When asked about Delane’s accusations, Todd responded that she doesn’t have the flash drive. “I doubt she’s seen the contents,” he remarked, implying that Delane might not know the full story.

The conversation also touched on Al B. Sure, Kim Porter’s ex-husband, who has threatened legal action, calling the book fake. Todd wasn’t fazed, noting that Al hasn’t seen the full contents of the book either. He further revealed that Al’s cease-and-desist letter was leaked to the media before it was sent to him, accusing him of trying to generate media attention. “He wants press,” Todd stated bluntly.

Diddy’s legal team has also dismissed the memoir, calling it an attempt to capitalize on Kim Porter’s death. But Todd remained firm in his defense, claiming that the book is about justice, not money. He challenged Diddy’s camp to address the allegations of abuse rather than attacking the memoir’s authenticity. “There are more victims coming forward,” Todd warned, hinting that this is just the beginning.

Perhaps the most salacious part of the interview was when Todd discussed the allegations involving other high-profile celebrities. According to the memoir, Kim Porter was in an open relationship with Diddy, engaging in threesomes with several well-known figures. Todd mentioned that these claims were difficult to fact-check, but were based on Kim’s own writings. “She said it herself, and I believe her,” Todd stated.

When pressed about names like Jay-Z, Will Smith, and others allegedly being involved in these activities, Todd kept things vague. “I’m not going to comment on that,” he said, although he hinted that there were tapes and photos that have yet to be revealed.

The conversation grew tense when Todd was asked about Tupac and the allegations that Diddy directed Faith Evans to sleep with him. Todd admitted he wasn’t sure about every detail in the book, acknowledging that some parts might have been Kim’s attempt to tell a bigger story. “There’s always some fiction mixed into reality,” he said.
