Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs‘ twin daughters, Jessie and D’Lila Combs, are launching a new business, and they have no fears. In a new interview, the 19-year-old entrepreneurs explained why now was the perfect time to launch their new fashion line and why they were unafraid of their father’s legal woes weighing them down.
While speaking with Entertainment Tonight, the twin girls, whom Diddy had with the late Kim Porter, said they weren’t concerned that their dad’s ongoing legal woes would harm their business ventures. “Not at all,” they said confidently.
But why are D’Lila and Jessie so confident that their new fashion line will succeed despite their father being behind bars after being found guilty of transportation to engage in prostitution?
“Because people fail to realize that just because he’s our dad doesn’t mean—like his press is his own press,” D’Lila said. “Our press is our own press. Like people fail to understand that we are also individuals. Like it’s separate. So, I don’t have any fear.”
Diddy’s Daughters Said They Weren’t Letting Any Of The Negative Headlines Stop Them From Pursuing Their Dreams
In October 2025, Diddy’s federal trial concluded with a judge sentencing him to 50 months in federal prison.
His trial took place in the Federal District Court in Manhattan, and while the jury acquitted him of major racketeering and sex trafficking charges, they found him guilty on the lesser counts of transporting people for prostitution.
Although hearing that their dad would be imprisoned for a little over four years was hard, Jessie said that the news surrounding him wasn’t going to stop them from reaching for the stars.
“I just feel like we’ve never like allowed any of that to stop us,” she said. “Like we have to keep going. And it’s honestly just made us push and work harder because you know we we’re not going to stop.”

And even though Diddy has been tucked away at FCI Fort Dix since last fall, the twins shared that they continue to have a wonderful relationship with him.
“We definitely are very close and he gives the best advice,” Jessie said. “He’s always going to be there and he’s always going to tell us the right answers. He’s literally like never wrong. Like everything that like he has told us about this, it’s been so helpful.”
Jessie also shed a little light on how their dad has been behind bars, stating that he’s been “very focused” on being a good person and being there for his family.
The Rapper’s Children Spoke To The Court
Diddy’s children shared a similar message during a 2025 court hearing, per The Blast. Justin Combs called the “Finna Get Loose” rapper his “superhero” while pleading with the judge to give him a “second chance.”
“I can truly sincerely say he’s changed for the better,” Justin continued. “Your honor, I believe my dad still has so much more to give the world, but even more importantly, so much more to give his children.”
Diddy’s other son, Quincy Combs, echoed his brother’s statement, telling the judge that his dad had learned “a major lesson” throughout his legal woes. He went on to say that the 56-year-old had been “transformed” and would do better moving forward.
Why Are The Twins Starting Their Fashion Line Now?
According to a previous report from The Blast, Jessie and D’Lila’s streetwear line, 12TWINTY1, is officially available for purchase. The line, which features both men’s and women’s clothing, includes hoodies, tanks, oversized tees, and more.
In their latest interview, the teenagers revealed why now was the right time for them to launch their products after dreaming of this day for “many, many years.”
“Now is the time because we’re becoming adults. So now, yes, actually, now is the time because we’re 19-years-old. We’re not in high school anymore. We’re becoming young women. We’re becoming our own individuals,” D’Lila shared.
