The twin daughters of embattled music executive Sean “Diddy” Combs have announced they will not be attending college this fall. The 18-year-old twin daughters Jessie and D’Lila Combs disclosed this during a recent Instagram Live session.
“We’ve decided to take a different path and focus on our careers in fashion and entertainment,” they said, according to WBLS.com.
“College is great, but it’s not for everyone,” they explained. “We want to build our brand and explore opportunities that align with our passions.”

The twins’ decision comes amid their father’s legal troubles. The girls have been chasing their dreams despite the challenges in their family. WBLS reports that they walked in the Dolce & Gabbana runway show in Venice, Italy, earlier this year and were also part of a national cheerleading competition at Disneyland, with their team winning the championship trophy.
Not too long after their Instagram announcement, the twins also shared photos from their senior prom on May 16.
The two took a breather from their father’s high-profile sex trafficking trial as they attended prom in matching red dresses.
Per TMZ, Jessie and D’Lila attended the Saturday event that took place at the Harbour House in downtown Los Angeles with their dates. The pair also entered and exited the venue in a conspicuous style as their dates carried them inside and when they were leaving.
And though the 18 year olds reportedly arrived at their prom an hour late, they told photographers that the party doesn’t begin until they’re in the building, adding that they were saving best for last.
Combs shares the twins with deceased model and actress Kim Porter.
Combs’ sex trafficking trial is currently ongoing in New York, and the 55-year-old’s family, including his twins, have been supporting him as he fights to clear his name.
