Diddy's twin girls Jessie & D'Lila, 18, make major career announcement after verdict in music mogul dad's sex crime case
SEAN "Diddy" Combs' twin girls Jessie and D'Lila have released a clothing line just days after their father was convicted. Their music mogul father, 55, was acquitted of the most serious charges of racketeering and sex trafficking this week after a weeks-long trial in Manhattan, New York. 9 Combs' twin girls Jessie & D'Lila have launched a clothing line Credit: instagram 9 The pair announced it in an Instagram post Credit: instagram 9 They announced the name was 12Twinty1 Credit: instagram 9 Jessie and D'Lila outside court at their father's trial Credit: The Mega Agency But he was found guilty of two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution and remains behind bars ahead of his sentencing hearing. His family are now trying to move on with their lives as Combs faces sentencing which could leave him imprisoned for years. Twin 18-year-olds Jessie and D'Lila have now announced the launch of their clothing line - with the bizarre name 12Twinty1 - in a post to Instagram. They said: "We've been waiting our entire lives for this moment - and it's surreal to finally share it with you.

"@12twinty1 was created with purpose, built from who we are, not just what we wear. "The name reflects our birthday, December 21st, but it means so much more: "[The number] One is bold, fearless, and marks the beginning of something powerful. "[The number] Two speaks to love, connection, and harmony, the essence of our twinhood. "We've spent so much time pouring our hearts into creating a brand that speaks to everyone. "It's more than fashion, it's about identity, confidence, and being seen. Diddy is found GUILTY of prostitution but cleared of most serious charge "This is just the beginning. "Stay tuned. We cannot wait to grow this with you." The pair have a whopping 780,000 followers on Instagram and the post has quickly racked up tens of thousands of likes. But they have not shared any pictures or drawings of their clothes yet. 9 Sean 'Diddy' Combs was found guilty on two of the five counts at his trial Credit: Shutterstock Editorial 9 Combs speaks to reporters after allegations of wrong labour practices in his company in 2003 Credit: AP:Associated Press Their father Combs had his own clothing line called Sean John, which is still owned by the disgraced rapper. But he won't be making too many sales from the brand anytime soon after he was found guilty of two counts of transportation for purposes of prostitution. Each charge has a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison, but they have no minimum punishment. That potential sentencing could have been a lot longer if he had been convicted of racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking. Combs and his family appeared elated at the news, and the rapper said "I'll be home soon" to his mom as he walked out of the courthouse. However, legal experts have warned that he shouldn't celebrate too soon, as they speculate that the rapper will likely have to spend some time behind bars. BUSINESS EMPIRE The star was running multiple businesses before his scandal, including Revolt TV, which he founded, and his fashion brand Sean John, which vanished from Macy's. Combs also reportedly lost a Hulu reality series deal. However, his music catalog remains intact for the time being. Combs kept his label Bad Boy Records relevant before he was arrested and backed the likes of Machine Gun Kelly's 'Mainstream Sellout' in 2022. 9 D'Lila and Jessie hold hands outside the courthouse Credit: Reuters 9 Combs reacts following the jury's decision Credit: AP In 2023, he also dropped The Love Album: Off the Grid, his first solo album in nearly two decades. The same year, singer Janelle Monae also released her celebrated record The Age of Pleasure through Bad Boy. Asked if he thinks he could build his empire back up, Faddis said, "It's not unheard of in America for folks who have, you know, been formerly disgraced to kind of make a comeback. "I think he's going to try [but] whether America has the stomach for that at this point is an open question. "I think, legally speaking, it is certainly a victory for Diddy, but I think we [have] to be careful, because there are a lot of sensitive issues at play here, just because the jury found that he was not guilty. That's not the same as finding that he was innocent. "What the jury found was that the Government couldn't meet its burden with respect to those charges. That's not the same as saying those things didn't happen." Combs was previously forced to apologize to fans after previously denying physically assaulting ex Ventura when CNN published an exclusive hotel surveillance video from 2016. The footage showed Combs appearing to grab, shove, drag, and kick the singer in a hotel hallway. 'My behavior on that video is inexcusable. I take full responsibility for my actions in that video,' he said in a video statement posted on Instagram. 'I was disgusted then when I did it. I'm disgusted now,' he added. 'I went and I sought out professional help. I got into going to therapy, going to rehab. I had to ask God for his mercy and grace. I'm so sorry. But I'm committed to be a better man each and every day. I'm not asking for forgiveness. I'm truly sorry.' Combs fell to his knees on Wednesday when the verdict was read out in a Manhattan courtroom, and he was acquitted of the most serious charges in his criminal case. The U.S. Sun obtained a letter from the prosecution sent to Judge Arun Subramanian regarding the star's sentence for two counts of engaging in prostitution, which is yet to be decided. They say the guideline sentence for him is just 51 to 63 months [five and a half years maximum], and he has already been behind bars for nine months. It reads, "The Government notes, however, that the Guidelines applicable at sentencing may be higher than this preliminary calculation. "The Government has not had adequate time to carefully consider all potentially applicable Guidelines provisions."

Diddy's young daughters seen leaving court as rapper avoids life behind bars
Sean P. Diddy Combs' twin daughters, D'Lila and Jessie Combs, have been present for much of their dad's sex trafficking trial, but were reportedly taken out of the courtroom during parts of the testimony Sean 'P. Diddy' Combs' children were in attendance at the courthouse when he received his verdict in the sex trafficking case. D'Lila and Jessie Combs, the youngest of Diddy's children to attend the trial, were often spotted in the courtroom but sometimes found the testimony too distressing to sit through. They were escorted out during particularly explicit segments, which is understandable given they've only just finished high school and celebrated their prom amidst the legal drama. On Wednesday, Diddy was cleared of the most serious accusations levelled against him, including sex trafficking and racketeering, sparing him a potential life sentence – a relief that saw him drop to his knees in court. Nevertheless, he was convicted on two lesser counts related to transporting individuals for prostitution purposes. Throughout the proceedings, the twins were seen donning coordinated outfits. On Monday, June 30, they arrived at the Daniel Patrick Moynihan Courthouse wearing identical black trouser suits, accompanied by their sister, Chance. By Wednesday, July 2, they had chosen more subdued attire, with one in an all-black ensemble and the other in a navy blue jumpsuit. The siblings were holding hands as they walked into the courtroom to hear their father's fate. Diddy's family broke their silence on Wednesday as he was cleared of the most serious charges. When asked how his dad was, Diddy's son, Christian responded: "Great," while his daughters added: "Good, happy." Diddy faced a total of five charges spread over three federal indictments, encompassing sex trafficking, conspiracy to commit racketeering, and transportation for prostitution. He entered a plea of not guilty to all charges levelled against him. Furthermore, he strongly refutes any allegations of misconduct, including those brought forward in civil lawsuits. He has now been acquitted of the sex trafficking and racketeering charges but has been found guilty on two counts of transportation for prostitution. The allegations against him were thrust into the public eye in November 2023 when his former partner, Cassie Ventura, lodged a civil complaint against him. Despite the former couple resolving the issue out of court, with Diddy not conceding any wrongdoing, her action sparked a flurry of additional lawsuits from across the nation, accusing him of comparable offences which then sparked a police investigation. During the two-month trial, the court heard how Diddy flew people around the country, including his girlfriends and paid male sex workers, to engage in sexual encounters, a felony violation of the federal Mann Act. However, he was acquitted of racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking charges, relating to allegations that he forced his former girlfriends into drug-fuelled sex encounters, which had been known as 'freak offs.'

The Combs Twins Graduate From High School – And We're Cheering Them On From The Sidelines
Source: Wil R/Star Max / Getty High school graduation season always gives us something to celebrate – but for Jessie and D'Lila Combs, it was about much more than that. The 18-year-old twin daughters of the late Kim Porter and Sean 'Diddy' Combs walked across the stage at Sierra Canyon School last week with grace. The twins reminded us all that Black girl magic happens even amid the most complicated of circumstances. Jessie and D'Lila are entering the next chapter of life with elegance, resilience, and a glow that even scandal can't dim. Draped in navy blue robes, the twins served double the slay. They wore matching white mini dresses, stacked heels, and their signature glam: soft waves, subtle sparkle, and confidence that runs deep. Their graduation stoles read 'Class of 2025' in bold gold lettering over a kente cloth pattern. The Combs siblings showed up for the twins in a big way. Quincy, Christian, Justin, and baby sister Love were all in attendance, bringing that big family energy that gives us all the feels. Justin gifted his graduating sisters diamond necklaces and matching Van Cleef & Arpels bracelets. Christian captured the joy in a social media video shoutout: 'It's lit! Jessie and D'Lila, we see you!' And Quincy, ever the big brother, posted: 'Love you, J&D.' And while their father was absent due to ongoing legal troubles, the presence of their family—and the spirit of their late mother—was deeply felt. Kim Porter, who passed in 2018, was a guiding force in her children's lives, and her influence still lingers in how Jessie and D'Lila move through the world. Stylish, poised, bonded, and full of light, all traits their mother was loved – and is remembered – for. RELATED: Remembering Kim Porter On What Would Be Her 51st Birthday Source: LEONARDO MUNOZ / Getty Put yourself in their shoes for a moment. The spotlight around the Combs family hasn't been easy. The twins' father, Diddy, is currently facing federal criminal charges and remains behind bars during an ongoing sex-trafficking trial. Different headlines swirl daily, and everyone has an opinion. But instead of shrinking, hiding, or crippling under this pressure, these young women are holding their heads high. Earlier this month, they served matching looks at prom. RELATED: The Combs Twins Jessie and D'Lila Shine On Prom Night The pair were even seen in court showing support for their father. Whatever your opinion on the case is irrelevant to their courage and grit. We love to see young Black women doing their thing and holding their own, especially when backed by a powerful village. We're watching. We're rooting for them. And we're proud.
