In 1994, his mother began a relationship with Sean Combs. He adopted and raised Quincy and the couple had three more children together, a son Christian and twin daughters D'Lila and Jessie.[3][4] For his sixteenth birthday Combs and Porter threw Quincy a celebrity studded party in Atlanta that was featured on MTV’s My Super Sweet 16.[5] His family moved around often but he spent most of his youth in the Southern State of Georgia and later moved to Los Angeles, California where he attended and graduated from Calabasas High School.
Career
Quincy's childhood dream was to become a professional baseball player, but he was barred from playing the sport in school due to his family constantly moving. It was then that he became interested in acting. He also began to model at an early age, as he got older he started to pursue modeling more seriously and became affiliated with the Wilhelmina Agency. In August 2012, Quincy walked in the Gaborone Fashion Weekend event in Botswana.[6] On February 19, 2015 he walked in Naomi Campbell's Ebola awareness show during New York Fashion week.[7]
