The 19-year-old twin daughters of music mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs and the late model Kim Porter have granted their first interview since their father's conviction, speaking candidly about life in the public eye as they launch their own fashion brand, 12TWINTY1.
The sisters shared their thoughts during an interview with Entertainment Tonight, where they discussed their ambitions, the pressures of carrying a famous surname and their desire to be recognised for their own achievements rather than their family's headlines.
Speaking with host Nischelle Turner, D'Lila said many people often forget that she and her sister are individuals with dreams and aspirations beyond their parents' legacy.
“People fail to understand that we are also individuals.”
According to the twins, while they understand the public's fascination with their family, they are focused on creating their own identity through fashion and entrepreneurship. They said the launch of 12TWINTY1 represents more than a business venture—it is an opportunity to express their creativity and establish a legacy built on hard work.
Their interview comes months after Sean "Diddy" Combs' widely publicised legal troubles and conviction, events that placed the Combs family under intense public and media scrutiny.
Despite the attention surrounding their father, Jessie and D'Lila said they are choosing to concentrate on the future, expressing optimism about expanding their clothing brand and growing as young entrepreneurs.
Over the years, the twins have become familiar faces at red carpet events alongside their siblings and have built a strong presence on social media. With the launch of their fashion label, they hope to encourage other young people to embrace their individuality, pursue their passions and create opportunities for themselves.
Their remarks have since attracted positive reactions online, with many social media users commending the sisters for focusing on their personal ambitions and reminding the public that they should not be defined solely by the circumstances surrounding their family.
