As Sean “Diddy” Combs continues to pursue an appeal following his federal criminal case, two of the people closest to him are sharing their perspective. His 19-year-old twin daughters, Jessie and D’Lila Combs, say they continue to view him as an “amazing” father and remain in regular contact with him while he is incarcerated.
The twins made the comments during a new interview with Entertainment Tonight, where they discussed their relationship with Diddy, their growing fashion ambitions, and how they’re navigating life in the public eye. Their remarks offer a personal glimpse into the family’s dynamic as the music mogul continues to face the legal fallout from his recent conviction.
Jessie and D’Lila Say They Speak With Diddy Often
During the interview, Jessie and D’Lila spoke positively about their father, describing him as supportive and actively involved in their lives despite his current circumstances.
The sisters said Diddy is an “amazing” father and shared that they speak with him frequently.
According to the twins, he is “focused on becoming a better man for his family,” a statement that reflects their personal view of his efforts following the highly publicized legal proceedings.
Their comments come as Diddy remains behind bars while seeking to overturn his conviction through the appeals process.
They Addressed the Cassie Assault Video
The interview also touched on one of the most widely discussed moments in Diddy’s legal saga—the release of surveillance footage showing him assaulting his former girlfriend, Cassie, in 2016.
According to Entertainment Tonight, Diddy apologized to Jessie and D’Lila after the video became public. The footage first surfaced through CNN before the full, unedited version was later shown during his federal criminal trial.
The sisters did not publicly elaborate on the apology beyond what was reported by the outlet.
Their comments focus on their own relationship with their father and should not be interpreted as addressing the legal findings or the broader allegations that were presented during the case.
Launching Their Own Fashion Brand
Away from the courtroom headlines, Jessie and D’Lila are focused on building careers of their own.
The twins are launching the 777 Collection, the debut release from their fashion label, 12TWINTY1, and say they are excited to step further into the fashion industry.
They also told Entertainment Tonight they have no fear about entering the spotlight, despite growing up with one of music’s most recognizable last names.
According to the sisters, Diddy has encouraged their ambitions and regularly offers advice as they develop their business.
Following Their Mother Kim Porter’s Legacy
Modeling is another goal Jessie and D’Lila hope to pursue.
The sisters said they would like to follow in the footsteps of their late mother, Kim Porter, whose successful modeling career continues to inspire them.
Their comments emphasized honoring her legacy while creating careers that reflect their own interests and ambitions.
The interview largely centered on that future rather than revisiting past controversies surrounding their father.
Rejecting the “Nepo Baby” Label
Jessie and D’Lila also addressed a topic frequently discussed when celebrity children launch careers.
The twins rejected the idea that they expect opportunities simply because of their family name.
They insisted they are working hard to establish themselves and said they do not expect success to be handed to them.
Instead, they described themselves as young entrepreneurs determined to earn recognition through their own efforts.
Why Their Comments Matter
Public statements from Diddy’s family have remained relatively limited since his legal proceedings unfolded, making the twins’ interview particularly notable.
Rather than discussing the details of the case, Jessie and D’Lila focused on their personal experiences with their father while sharing updates about their own careers.
Their comments also illustrate how families connected to high-profile legal cases often continue to balance personal relationships with intense public scrutiny.
Diddy’s legal appeal remains ongoing, and the outcome of that process has yet to be determined.
For Jessie and D’Lila, the interview was as much about introducing themselves as emerging fashion entrepreneurs as it was about answering questions surrounding their famous father.
As they launch the 777 Collection and pursue careers inspired in part by their late mother, the twins are stepping into adulthood under extraordinary public attention. Their decision to speak openly about their relationship with Diddy reflects their perspective, even as his legal case continues to shape headlines.
With their fashion label now taking center stage and Diddy’s appeal still pending, the Combs family remains in the spotlight for reasons that extend beyond the courtroom.
