As Sean “Diddy” Combs’ trial continues in New York City, his twin daughters, Jessie and D’Lila, are now high school graduates.
Jessie and D’Lila, both 18, have graduated from Sierra Canyon High School in California, sharing photos and videos via their Instagram Stories to their joint account on Friday, May 23. Posts showed the two in their navy blue caps and gowns, accepting their diplomas and celebrating together with classmates.
The pair also showed off their class rings and accepted diamond necklaces from their brother, Justin Dior Combs, 31.
“Thankkkk u Justin we love uuuu,” they captioned the video.
In another slide, Diddy’s youngest daughter, two-year-old Love, sat on one of her brother’s shoulders to watch the commencement ceremony, which took place on the Sierra Canyon football field.
They also shared a photo from Sophia Pippen, in which the daughter of Scottie and Larsa Pippen could be seen hugging the twins.
Their big day came less than a week after another major milestone: their senior prom. Over the weekend, they shared photos of their sparkling red dresses, complete with matching nails, necklaces and lipstick.
Last week, the twins were in New York for a less celebratory occasion: to attend their father’s trial, sitting with their grandmother Janice Combs and other siblings. They were in the courtroom on Monday, May 12, leaving when sex worker Daniel Phillip began giving testimony about his alleged interactions with Diddy and his ex-girlfriend, Cassie. Phillip was giving graphic accounts of sexual encounters with the couple at the time.
Diddy shared Jessie and D’Lila, as well as son Christian, 27, and adopted son Quincy, 33, with ex Kim Porter, who died in 2018 of lobar pneumonia. (Diddy also shares Justin with ex-girlfriend Misa Hylton, daughter Chance, 18, with Sarah Chapman, and Love with Dana Tran.)
Diddy is on trial following his September 2024 arrest on charges of sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy and transportation to engage in prostitution. He pleaded not guilty to all charges and has denied all of the allegations against him.
“We are disappointed with the decision to pursue what we believe is an unjust prosecution of Mr. Combs by the U.S. Attorney’s Office,” Diddy’s attorney Marc Agnifilo said in a statement at the time. “He is an imperfect person, but he is not a criminal. To his credit Mr. Combs has been nothing but cooperative with this investigation and he voluntarily relocated to New York last week in anticipation of these charges. Please reserve your judgment until you have all the facts. These are the acts of an innocent man with nothing to hide, and he looks forward to clearing his name in court.”
Since his arrest, Diddy has been held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn. His four requests for bail were denied by Judge Arun Subramanian.
