Sean "Diddy" Combs' twin daughters are celebrating their senior year of high school amid the rapper's sex crimes scandal.
On Sunday, November 24, the 17-year-old sisters — who post under a joint Instagram account, The Combs Twins — shared a photo of themselves partaking in a classic school ritual.
"Senior Night💖," Jessie and D'Lila captioned the picture, which featured the twins posing on a football field in matching cheerleading uniforms, each donning a "senior '25" sash. The sisters sparkled for the occasion, rocking matching tiaras and glittery eye makeup.
While the comments on the post were limited, actress Holly R. Peete expressed her admiration for the girls with two "😍" emojis.
Jessie and D'Lila are the youngest of the four children Diddy shares with his late ex-girlfriend Kim Porter; he is also father of Porter's son Quincy Brown, 33, whom he adopted as a child, and son Christian "King," 26.
In addition to his kids with Porter, who died in 2018, Diddy is also father of son Justin, 30, whom he shares with ex Misa Hylton; daughter Chance, 18, whom he shares with ex Sarah Chapman and daughter Love, 2, whom he shares with Dana Tran.
Following Diddy's September arrest and federal charges of racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking, and transportation to engage in prostitution, the six eldest of his seven children spoke out in an October statement in support of their father.
"The past month has devastated our family. Many have judged both him and us based on accusations, conspiracy theories, and false narratives that have spiraled into absurdity on social media. We stand united, supporting you every step of the way," the eldest Combs children wrote. "We hold onto the truth, knowing it will prevail, and nothing will break the strength of our family. WE MISS YOU & LOVE YOU DAD."
Diddy — who is also facing lawsuits from more than 100 accusers claiming he sexually assaulted them — has vehemently denied all claims against him and has pleaded not guilty to the federal charges. He has been held in the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn following his arrest and was denied bail twice.
